How much attention does your Nismo get?

MJB · 07-07-2012, 09:58 AM

As I was driving down the road in my Nismo yesterday, had a really mean looking mustang (newer Boss, possibly Shelby) drive by me going the opposite direction... As he went passed me he rev his engine and it scared the living sh*t out of me, as I had my windows down and was not expecting that lol. He probably got a good laugh at my reaction.

Had a few people ask to take pics when stopped for gas. Guess there are not too many Nismos in De. Have only seen one with De. plates this year.

Drive to work this morning, the daily radar cop had someone pulled over...he was just half a block ahead of me and I got on it a little off the light. The way he made a double take at me and raised his eyebrows was just hilarious... I wish I could have that on tape haha. Well I'm sure it was my exhaust that got him to turn lol

My Nismo does not get as much attention as my 1994 MKIV TT Supra, but I see people looking!!

Nuki · 07-09-2012, 09:53 PM

I'd be staring too if I saw you driving that sucker. The Z is a dream car for me, even more so the Nismo, but the MKIV Supra.... I had a MKIII that I loved dearly, and always dreamed of getting the MKIV.

Someday, someday.

Whats up with all these big trucks always trying to race? Tonight I was getting on the freeway and went immediately to the fast lane. This big redneck lifted dodge or ford diesel sped up and got right up my arse. He was driving the speed limit till I got in the fast lane and then he wanted to act stupid. So I sped up a little just to get him off my tail (he couldn't have been more than a couple feet from my bumper) and he proceeded to speed up and match me. So I turned on my turn signal to get in the right lane and as I was merging over he decides to go the same way around me, I had to jerk back into the fast lane. He speeds by also cutting off a few other people and starts weaving in and out of the lanes around people just to get ahead of the crowd. Like I said, he was driving normal till he saw my Nismo. I've seen a bunch of these types of trucks drive real aggressively on the freeway like these. Whats up with these guys?

I got this every now and then when I was in the 350Z. My best assessment comes down to guys with misguided "buy 'Merican, I hate dem dere rice burnin jap mobiles... Remember Pearl Harbor" douchebags that usually have some Penile length issues so they have to buy the biggest truck they can and jack it up to compensate. Cuz nothing takes away those insecurities like a big manly truck for all to see. These guys are usually mad haters when they see a vehicle of our type.

Seriously, this is why I have a CCW. You never know when one of them is going to take it further than just harassment while driving.

My apologies to all those with trucks here and aren't like this. I love me a nice truck and would have one any day of the week. I just never felt the need to compensate.

Thats exactly whats going though my mind when they are on my @ss. But i wonder if they are actually in a friendly mindset and just exited to see the car? We should post on the truck forums and ask what in the hell they are thinking? Whats the website again douchebagrepressedhomosexuality4x4.com/forums

No, I don't believe they have that mentality. I really do think they want to race or have something to prove. I've had several of these types of trucks that will drive next to me and then take off full throttle. I remember when I had my 350z I had this Toyota Tundra that kept trying to get me to run.

Dude, when theyre three feet off your bumper, I don't think theyre looking to run. They're trying to intimidate you with their projection of manliness. When they weave dangerously through traffic, thats your sign right there.

The Japanese site is sukoshipenis.com (South Park reference), and its American site littlemanbigtruck.org.

You can always tell who the haters are. I respect all vehicles and have no particular hate for any particular model, just the drivers that tend to buy them. Some models do have tendency to draw a certain "type" to them, SRT-4 douchenozzles come to mind to anyone? These guys have a tendency to have a Calvin pissing on a ford/chevy decal somewhere on the back window. That's usually a dead give away.

A true car enthusiast, respects any nice ride.
