Yesterday I had a few kids in their 20s in a newer Ford Explorer roll up next to me and go, "Dude, rev the engine, PLEASE!" I accommodated and they all went "WOAH! AWESOME!" and got what I consider overly excited, haha. Thing sounds beastly with the exhaust and HFCs, though.

A few hours later, I was at the gas station and the guy next to me asked about a million questions while we filled up. I explained the difference between the base car and the Nismo, etc. and, as we were parting ways, he said, "Hey, wait - what year is that?" I told him 2012... and cautioned him against the 2014s and newer due to the gray body kit and red decals. Sorry new Nismo folks, but love the clean look of the 2009-2013.

Speaking of which, wow... are there really 7 model years of our car? Sure gets a lot of looks and compliments for a car that aged.

Talking

Me and the wife went for a drive on Thursday up in the mountains. On the way home. I passed a G35 that had wheels and a glass hood on it. After I passed it. I looked in the mirrors to see it. Told the wife to look back and tell what she sees. She starts to laugh and tells me that the driver of the G35 is trying to keep up and take a video of us with his phone. He followed us all the way home. He turned off the block before I turned.

The 2014's are he nicest IMO. Reminds me of the 350 Nismo which I originally fell in love with.

Now the 2015...

A bit off topic but I had a group of highschool kids standing on a corner, waiting for either a ride or the bus, scream out my car sucks.

Drove off laughing as these kids stand there with no ride.

Some drunk college kids tried to get me to do a burn out. Being of higher stature, I ignored the request. Two gentlemen proceeded to call me a P***y. I stopped the car and asked them "Why do you feel the need to yell that at a complete stranger?" They just froze and walked off. I enjoy getting in the head of some of the douchebags I encounter. Haters gonna hate.

The other day my roommate asked me to take him to pick up his motorcycle. On the way to the place I was stopped at a red light in the right lane. In the left lane next to me was a nice SUV and a little girl about 8 I think in the back seat. She had her window down and told me I had the nicest car she had ever seen. I could hear her mom laughing in the fount. I told the little girl she was awesome and thanked her. The look on her face when she was looking at my nismo just made me smile.
