I drive to a club/restaurant and employees immediately think I'm going to valet park the car. It's annoying because you pay a dude to park and pick it up from 15 feet away just so it can be front and center... I should ask to park it myself and see if they'll only charge me half.

I don't even have a NISMO but I seem to attract the same behavior.

The other night, I had a guy in beat up integra riding my rear. He then nearly rear ended me as he did his fly by (meanwhile, I'm already doing 55ish in a 45).

When I got up to the light, he gave me this angry look and revved the hell out of the engine. I'm a jerk, so I revved a bit back and gave him some crazy eyes. I just made a right turn when the light changed as he sped away.

A few days ago I was at a light and the guy on the other lane hit the car in front of him because he was checking the Z out LOL.. and yesterday a guy on a Scion tC pulled next to me at another light and complimented me on the car. He said something about how he was thinking about getting one and some other stuff, I was too busy checking his gf out

I had a newer corvette riding my arse today on the freeway, and as soon as he got the chance he did his ricer flyby. I haven't gotten to many of the street racer wanna be's trying to get me to run, but my Nismo isn't a DD, so I don't drive it all that often at night. Which that seems to be when they are lurking.

LMFAO! Totally agree! I also think the car is way more a guy magnet than a chick magnet. What I mean by that is I have received about 10 times more compliments on the car from guys.

Vnismo370z · 11-17-2011, 06:05 PM

Aggressively passed an Integra and when it caught it there was a number on the window.

Lmao ^^^^ I know when I pass by or on a stop light guys pull their windows down and ask is it a Porsche? I get mad but inside, I know they don't know and when I say is a Nissan they always have this shock face. Priceless is like when you enter a club with a super fine girl and all guys are drooling wishing they had her =)) best feeling ever lol

Cmike2780 · 11-17-2011, 06:47 PM

^^ it's always the middle aged guy driving a family car... or middle aged women. Its always the same questions too...Is it fast? How do you do like it? How fast have you gone?

Also, it's a miracle if I can go through one day while driving Z and not have someone try and race me at a stop light. I never bite, but I think it might have something to do with the louder exhaust and the way I shift. Lately though, I find it pretty funny if I rev the engine while waiting for the light to change and stare the other driver down... then accelerate normally. You can usually spot the stop light racers a mile a way. Funny enough, this usually works and most people just back off after seeing the car....or they just look like an idiot launching their car.

NFSZ86 · 11-17-2011, 07:50 PM

^^^^ or the other ? Is it a V8 lol I always get hondas and Acuras try to race me. But I always en up taking them they don't know that our Zs peel in 2nd as well lol

USMCram · 11-18-2011, 07:09 AM

too much. from all the wrong places. I had this guy box me in behind another car and a semi. the semi slowed down so I took off to get away,(can't stand being behind or around other cars and semis, especially when they're right up on my ***...deployment stuff) this guy wouldn't let up. so I took off and got away from the rest of traffic, slowed down and kept on minding my own business, couple of miles down the road, here comes jackass again and starts screwing around. I had to get off the damned freeway. Really pissed me off.

birdmanx1 · 11-18-2011, 12:35 PM

I get a lot of guys in trucks rev hard past me, I just look at them and laugh like I won 10 million pesos. They NO like it much hombres

NFSZ86 · 11-18-2011, 01:38 PM

It's funny one time a Range Rover Supercharged tried his hardest on getting me to race him, once I did he had a sad face when I took him lol. Ohhh and let's not say the Cherokees SRT8 and the Trailblazer SS always trying Too LMAO

quicksilverCC · 11-21-2011, 09:51 AM

I've now had my nismo for 3 weeks now and I had no idea it would attract attention that it does. Every time I go to a gas station I get stared down, 2 mustangs have tried to race me already (I just got the damn thing, I'm not about to fvck around with it just yet), I was driving through a small town and an older guy with his family was next to me looking over and he kept saying wow with the biggest smile on his face, and the other day a kid was following me taking pics with his iPhone.

I can't imagine what you guys must go through that have a bright color like red

The best though was the other day a van, for some odd reason, got mad when I was passing him so he sped up and started doing like 90. He starts to pass this SUV on the right and the SUV gets pissed and starts racing him. They were hauling 100 down the road going neck and neck so naturally I sped up laughing behind them because I wanted to see what happened. The van eventually backed off before traffic got thicker. It made my day though knowing I was the catalyst for a SUV/minivan showdown.

bigsix · 11-21-2011, 10:23 PM

I imagine some of you guys really enjoy the attention this car attracts, while some of you resent it ( maybe both in the same day by the same guy).

It is akin to being with a really hot girl. Of course she'll attract attention, stares, jealousy, anger, lust, etc.
