Apple's Woz recreates famous Nissan 280Z commercial
Click the image above for the gallery
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has lived a charmed life, and he's giving back to the technical sciences by auctioning off his 2005 350Z special edition for charity. The Woz has a soft spot for the old Nissan Z cars, as he appeared in a commercial for the 280Z back in the day, and he has put together a remake of the old spot featuring his 350Z. The spoof commercial features a rotund Woz rolling across the back yard of his spacial digs in a Segway, while sound from the original commercial mentions that the Apple co-founder has two sports cars. The spoof video ends with the Weird Al version of "Ridin Dirty" playing while the Woz rides off into the sunset, Apple II license plate in full view. The sale price for the car is $100,000, but Woz is also accepting lower offers. Click here to view the "remake" video, and follow the jump to check out the classic original.

A guy with his kind of $$$ owns a BASE model 350Z???
The 17" 7-spoke wheels are a dead giveaway, cheap-ass. :-P

Woz is so underrated, he's got a fleet of NSXs and now this. Steve Jobs can't touch him.

Who doesn't love the Woz? He's a real person who gets along with about everyone. Hey, I'm surprised that Autoblog didn't use Comic Life to juice up the photographs.

Take a good look, kids--this is what happens to you if you sit in front of a computer all day.
In the deathless words of FCIPH, "BLAAAAAARRRRRRGH!"

Sorry, anything attached to Apple in any way, shape, or form, is something I want to stay away from. Nice guy, crappy company, ugly car.
