Thanks for the input - that's a good point, actually. To be honest, I don't really use social media too often. I have a Facebook, but not very active on that platform. Definitely don't have an IG - but CarbonFiberElement did use one of my photos on their page, so that as kinda cool I spend way more time lurking the370z, which is probably why I thought to look here first. Still, I should've thought of that firsthand. I do intend to look passively if I have some down-time. Was just hoping the owner had a profile here. Thanks all the same!

Just know that I feel the same way about being courteous and helpful to those in Z land, but there are very few 370z's in my neck of the woods.
I see that you're a former teacher - that's awesome! I work in education as well, and while I may be far from cashing in on my retirement, I can't keep up with all the social media options out there either! With where I'm at in life, I'm more invested in chasing after my career than anything else, like internet clout (not that that's a bad thing LOL). But this way, hopefully by the time I'm 70 - I can actually retire, do the cell phone thing, and grocery shop with a nice sports car

LOL! After reviewing my post, I can see why you would think that. But actually, I was coming from a different perspective: Sometimes I would have the misfortune of running into enthusiasts (either on the road or in person) who were unapproachable or too haught for comfort. So I know what it's like to being on the receiving end of that - not too pleasant. Just wanted to clear up that potential misunderstanding with a fellow Z owner. But I think we can all agree that combing through the interwebs might be a little too excessive haha.

I hope that if/when my better half comes across this, that there will be a large bath towel within arm's reach so I can quickly tie a make-shift cape around her.

Maybe she'll laugh, maybe I'll die.

I mean at most they just looked at each other. I don't even think he saw her outside of her car. What in the world.
Actually, I made an account a couple of years ago but sort of failed to introduce myself (my bad). I think V6P was the first car forum I ever lurked and that was probably around 2010. A couple of years later, I took interest in the G35 so I was lurking the G35Driver forums and reading/learning all I could about that platform. But then these random threads about potato or poker chips would all of a sudden pop up out of nowhere, reminding me that I was a broke and slightly over-weight college student so I thought it'd be best to take a break from such bad influences for a while In 2015, I was reading the My350Z forums because I was interested in a Nismo 350, but they always kept getting snatched up right before I was ready to pull the trigger. One thing led to another and I was fortunate enough to end up on this Forum with my 370

--------

Also, my apologies. I guess with the way this thread progressed, there are some blanks I should fill in for clarification. I guess I wasn't thinking straight when I initially posted, but here goes. Please bear with me:

We both parked and got out of our cars at the same time. We all saw each other for a brief until I punked out and made a run for it into the store because it was like half-raining and "cold" (I know, I know, it's California...).

The driver was male, with his passenger female, so based on the plate - I assume it belongs to her (not to be sexist or anything)

Yes, the passenger (owner?) was very pretty. No, obviously I have no chance as I assume the driver was her significant other and I am happily whipped by my better half

Thanks for all your input, everyone. Hope you all had a great Superbowl weekend.

-James
