I'm just thankful to own such a car. I'm not loaded by no means but what
hacks me off is when someone comes up to you at the gas pumps and
wants to borrow!!! 10 bucks for gas to get to the next town.

Hahahaha Ive never been asked for money before cause of the car I have lol... at least I dont think so lol. I usually just say a simple thank you and let it be unless they actually start talking to me about the car. Theres just so many people in this town who like to think they know stuff about cars but really have no idea whatsoever and its pretty evident once you start talking to them lol.

I just say thanks, if they ask more, I interact, most are enthusiasts and some just don't know but they all appreciate it. Its amazing how much more attention I get now with the spoiler. Once I tell them I track it (and explain what that means), they have even more respect.

I had a guy ask me about my car then ask if I would walk with him to Chase Bank and co-sign a check for 20 dollars, so he could cash it, because he has no bank account. 2 hours after standing in line at the bank they finally get in touch with the account holder and approve the check. I guess he really needed that 20 bucks.

That's most always a scam. Used to happen a lot around Seattle. I had the same guy come up to me at 3 different stations within a month with the same story about being in town for the day to take his daughter for medical tests, forgetting to bring his wallet and needing gas.

They ask me about my car and this one guy asked me what I do for a living and if I went to college and crap like that. Talk about total creeper. Guess he must have thought it was a porsche or something. I do look young though so I guess he thought its too nice of a car for someone that looks young.

I had a guy come up to me and ask 'how many pounds do you sell a week' as in pounds of pot. He was serious, and then told me back in the day he used to sell 4lbs and drove a nice car. I was like ":ugh2:"

I have had a lot of folks tell me "nice car" and then wants to know what the NISMO means. The crowd at SCCA Solo events are interested in any thing differnt vehicle wise. I am like most of the rest of the responds by telling them a little about the car and how it is different from the regular 370Z. I do get a lot of thumbs up while driving with 4 of them from cops next to me at a light.

I tell people thanks and talk to them for a few minutes, unless I'm in a hurry. I was at a drive through with my wife and this girl about falls out of the window gushing over my Z. I told my wife I was gonna come back without her. lol
