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

True that!

Nobody else at my company has a Z and since I'm the boss and control salaries...I'm safe.

let the modding begin! LOL now the OP's going to make up stores he got the base of the base cause he's going to mod it anyways.

TheGreatOne · 05-03-2011, 03:11 PM

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

To the OP: How old are you ?
Not only should you not be worrying about it, you shouldn't even be bringing it up on a public forum like you need a support group or something.

sonic370 · 05-03-2011, 08:16 PM

I'm guessing he's 11-teen or something. Honestly, it's totally rediculous to get upset that your boss wants the same car. It's a sweet car and if your boss, the cook at a local cafe, or the grabage man want one then F-ING AWESOME!

The OP is all bent up about it because for some reason he's tied his identity to the car. I'm sure when he heads out to the local club scene he's wearing ALL the 370Z clothing he can find. I mean hat, gloves, t-shirt, sweater, jacket, socks, etc. He's like "hey baby...I've got a 370Z. Let's head back to my crib" (room at his parents' house

).

As they're walking out his boss walks up to them dressed in a nice suit with cool shades, looks at the girl and says "hey baby...I've got a 370Z touring model with nav and the sport package. My wheels are bigger than his and they're forged. Yeah baby...I said FORGED! Come back to my HOUSE and we'll have a great time."

The chick leaves with his boss and the lonely dude is stuck washing his base model 370Z alone in the morning with his tears.

i don't mind seeing other people with better models than mine. i'd love for my friend who i do car stuff with all the time to get a Z instead another random dodge car. but yeah, like you said, in buffalo Zs are really rare. I still don't like the idea of having to park my car all summer in the same lot in the shadow of the slightly better Z. Although theres no doubt mine will be nicer and better taken care of in the long run. I have an 04 celica and even with that, i like being able to go days without seeing anyone without my car.

Astrosfan · 05-03-2011, 04:02 PM

Feel a little 1^ed?
I wouldnt worry about it. It will give you good conversation once he gets "the bug". Plus, its never bad to be on the bosses good side, he does write your checks

Colbizle · 05-03-2011, 05:08 PM

errrm... I wouldn't say anything.. especially if it's your boss. I mean come on.. It's your BOSS. The dude could fire you if he wanted right? Why get on his bad side?

Also think of it this way. You both have Zs all the more he can talk to you about it and get advice from you making your relationship better. Meaning more brown nosing and better pay? Right?
