Obsession…absolutely.

Lust, then love…most definitely.

Just take one look at Cathy’s license plate and it says it all… “OBZEZZD”
She is crazy about her 2003 Chrome Silver 350Z – Touring. Her car has truly become her obsession. What started out as a few small projects with her Z has turned into a mod obsession. With a full spring and summer schedule of meets and shows, Cathy is sure to be very busy with her TurboJet, or affectionately, TJ!

Cathy describes herself as “feminine, but with a touch of testosterone.” Manicures are always scheduled after a weekend of working on the Z! Getting her hands dirty is not a problem for this Z Chick.

Her love of cars started at an early age. Instead of Barbie dolls or cute girly things laying around the house, there was a collection of Matchbox cars and Tonka Trucks, along with all of the accessories that went with them. Her first car was a 1977 candy apple red Monte Carlo, which she hated to part with; however, a brand new Trans-Am quickly changed her mind. With that car, she developed a love for cars with “umph.” She notes that out of all of the cars that she has owned, none have matched the Z or even come close. Even after a year of ownership, getting in her TJ is still a rush for her.

Cathy was born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA and works in Hospital Administration. She shares her home with her 6 year-old male Doberman, Valentino, who is a retired show dog, and her husband Keith. She enjoys reading, horseback riding, target shooting, shopping (which she describes as a serious sport), and trips to Florida and the Outer Banks, NC.

Cathy is very thankful to have met her Z Chickz friends, and in particular would like to thank her friend and mentor, Pat McCall, for all of his help and guidance with TJ.
