I can't help but be mad about it, i want to say something to him but i also don't want to come across as an *******. Hes a great guy and i have huge respect for him but its not something where we would work on our cars together or anything. He's not a car guy at all either. He told me the Zs only come in black(mine isn't black) and didn't know they even switched to the 370z. I don't want to be an ******* but i think if he got one it would kinda ruin it for me. What does everyone think if they were in my shoes?

he wants a sports car(more like his wife does) GT-R is too much but he did talk about liking porsche a lot too.

You should spend a little more time thinking about yourself and not what someone else is doing.

I would sell the Z and get a Prius and brag about how great the gas mileage is! winning!

Look at it another way: He doesn't like the wheels, buys aftermarket, makes you a killer deal on the factory 19". He then buys some aftermarket goodies, decided not to install them, and passes a killer deal on the parts to you.

Hey, I'd be a lot more concerned if he were to sleep with your fiancee, while you're at your bachelor party, and then he appears at your wedding with the same tux as you. That's something to really worry about!

Take it as a compliment....

Then tell him how nice his Z is... how much better it is than yours..... then go on photo shoots with him and his car.

Then ask for a raise.

Taddaaaaaaa

he wont do a thing to it. i would be surprised if he takes it to get washed once a month. maybe im just being selfish but i enjoy being the only person i know that has a z. i guess im not as special as i thought.

Don't think about it like that, man. As long as you enjoy the car and love to drive it that's all that matters.

Hell, I'm driving a Mustang and in general they outnumber Z's most places you go... but I love to drive it so it doesn't get on my nerves to see others out there. Just worry about what you think about your ride and not about being special... that's going to take all of the fun out of owning your Z.

They are super rare here in Buffalo, where its all cameros and stangs. Hopefully I'll have one by the end of summer and it will have the sports package so i'm going to one up ya! I think it would be cool to have your boss get one...if he was more of an enthusiast which it sounds like hes not. Sounds like he saw your sweet ride and now he wants one knowing nothing about the Z.

MyZ4U2C · 05-03-2011, 01:59 PM

That will give you all the more time to get your Z going, Hey, at least you have a Z...I still dont have one...so you 1upd me already

kenchan · 05-03-2011, 02:00 PM

i could careless if someone at my work got a Z or a GTR or any 'better' sportscar than mine, to tell the truth.

mainly because Z is one of my important toys, but it's not my life.

Econ · 05-03-2011, 02:40 PM

Yea not really a big deal....i bought a Z, my dad bout a Z..Z06 >:I
