Would this make you mad?

I seriously understand what you are talking about OP. I had a friend that literally did EVERYTHING I did. So I killed him.

wilsonp · 05-03-2011, 06:24 PM

I have a Touring Sport+Nav 7AT - do you feel one-upped? Oh, and its Black + Persimmon - pretty rare!

If you want to be the only one, you should have gotten an NSX. Not counting VIR, I saw two others in ten years of ownership in my town. I can hardly stand the other 370Z I see once a month.

At least its a roadster.

OTOH, just because you see another one every day doesn't make your car that much more common - yours will still be the only one most people see that day.

To the OP...

As long as you have a bigger &%$@ it won't matter...

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.

"I got a Z and now my boss wants a Z. Waaah, waah, waah."

"He's not a car guy. Waaah, waaah, waaah."

"He doesn't even know they switched to the 370. Waaah, waaah, waaah."

"It's his wife who really wants the Z. Waaah, waaah, waaah."

Getting the picture? Do you really think that because you got a Z no-one else you know can get one now? Grow up.

Besides, you should take it as a compliment that he's following your example.

New rims + Amuse kit = problem solved

We've got 2 of the big Bosses here who own sports cars

1 vette and 1 Porsche Cayman

You can be envious-these aren't their only cars

bottom line is the Boss should be able to outspend you and

really should drive a nicer car, don't you think?

If it bugs you, go get a Mustang GT

11Thumper · 05-03-2011, 07:27 PM

Get one of these. He'll be crying with jealousy...

yakz · 05-03-2011, 07:48 PM

To be honest, I would straight-up trade my 2009 370Z Base+Sport for a 2009 Cayman S (not just because the Porsche has a higher resale value!). Not because I dislike my Z in any way (in relation to the Porsche. The Z itself could use more torque), but because I want to know what it feels like to settle into that car.

When I bought my Z, the comparable Cayman S was another $10k. Sorry for being a pleb, but $10k is a significant amount of money to me. Info said the 370z was raw and more powerful. Maintenance on a Porsche is supposedly torturous. So, I bought the Z. But I'd love to know just how green the grass is on the other side.

I hear ya on that; but it's been my experience that the only reason why 'the grass is greener on the other side is bc of more sh!t'

In the end; you guys have some really nice rides overall but in the end; depending where you are and as time passes the ride will become more and more common. For instance you can get a fully loaded G 6MT for less than a Honda Accord; that being said....they are becoming the new Civic; but....I still LOVE my ride (although I would trade her in for a 370z 6MT most days of the week)

daisuke149 · 05-03-2011, 07:57 PM

my personal opinion is that if you feel that someone else getting the same car is one-upping you then perhaps your insecure and maybe you yourself got the car to feelbetter about yourself in some way? Like look at me im drivin a flashy car.

Yes a bit dramatic i am. but really, you have your car, worry about your car and what makes you love your car. More than likely, if he gets the Z without really thinking it through he will sell it shortly. Its not a car for people who purchase it without really knowing anything about it.

oleg · 05-03-2011, 08:04 PM

Or if you still don't want him to get one and he isn't a car guy say that you are willing to help him find another car if he hasn't looked into them yet, and maybe you can talk him into getting a g37 or something along those lines.

Parkerman · 05-03-2011, 08:22 PM

I'll be honest..

If someone else getting the same car as you "ruins it for you" you have issues...
