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.

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.

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.

I think ur more mad because he's getting a fully loaded and you got a stock one. If you had the fully loaded and he had the stock one I don't think you would have been as pissed. Anyway what you can do is maybe tell him to trade rims with you .

I know what you're saying

At the end of the day though, you can say you have the same car as your boss, kinda makes you look better anyways

Unless it was a car I was really looking at for a long time, I probably would try not to buy the same car as a close co-worker or boss, that might just be me.

I remember years back an old room mate buying the same jeans as me and then wearing them to where we both worked, car and jeans not the same though lol

Try and push him into getting a Camaro or Audi TT
