Are you the coolest person just because you are driving a Z?

BigT · 03-11-2015, 01:01 PM

I was gawking over a 996 GT3 that drove passed me when my wife asked me why i'm staring at a car that is not as good looking as my Z. Best compliment I ever got.

I think your wife is up to something. Seriously!
Was it pay day when she said that?

You bet, I love when a wrx gets next to me trying to act all tough and when I'm driving down a neighborhood and kids give me thumbs up!

Yes I am the coolest person, and only because I'm driving a z.

I get tons of compliments but it's always fun to drive into the Nissan stealership and have the salesmen, managers and techs drool over my car even though there's a brand new GTR on the floor room. That happened today as I stopped by the stealership to get a battery for the fob. One of the managers could not get over the car an the Fugimura hood...he just said awesome car and the best looking hood I have ever seen on Z!!! Cool....maybe, but I don't really care cause I got lots of cool friends.

Well, I dunno... in theory its like any other material thing: At best its a very, very tiny window of insight into the tastes and resources of the possessor.

Cool people like cool things, moneyed people have nicer, more expensive things, etc (although with cars in particular, A + B usually = person is a fucking nob).

EDIT -- On second thought, I should also add: People who think they are cool (or not cool) because of the things they own, regardless of relative wealth, are also fucking nobs.

My black car had guys breaking necks when I got on the gas. I saw one guy, in his driver seat completely stick his head out the window and look behind him screaming "That sounds amazing!" It was also great at scaring kids at the grocery store when turning on the car just as they pass. My Wife gave me an ugly look for that one. My new car, I get more opposite sex attention, mostly because they think it looks pretty and it has a pretty color. When I take it to a dealership, most guys working there never seen the Nismo in that color and always ask if it was painted lol.

If I'm having a sh!t day, I just take my car out, she always makes me smile. Boost makes me smile harder. I want to smile harder.

jrod629 · 03-12-2015, 03:44 PM

I usually get a lot of older guys that'll make their way over at car washes to check mine out and tell me stories about their 240s and 300s, coworkers ask if I get more *** than a toilet seat but I have a girlfriend(unfortunately?) lol, but I have a restored 1969 chevelle that takes the cake with attention people literally yell out nice car from the sidewalks and such, wish I got that kind of attention in the Z lol

Jordo! · 03-12-2015, 09:05 PM

Hilariously (disturbingly?), my old 2000 Celica GT-S was a real piece of eye candy to random 9 - 13 yr olds... random children were always coming over to ogle and paw at it.

Aspiring pedo's take note: Sell the ice cream truck and buy a gently used late model Celica...

Less disturbingly: I have noticed that my red 370Z was a bigger crowd pleaser than the black one. I guess sports cars really should just come in red... oh well.

DOOMMONKEY777 · 03-12-2015, 09:25 PM

No i dont think am cool, but ever since i got the Z, girls keep walking towards me and sometimes they walk wright in front of my car while am driving on the street, i got it on video if u would like to see it.

I personally think its like a all girls suicide car at this point.
