Anyone notice the sharp stare you get from police as you pass them in the opposite direction while you are making all your movements legally? It is interesting, i guess i am just not used to the amount of attention i am receiving. Time to be human and adapt and overcome.

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.

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 ""

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
