Nissan 370Z Forum  

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

Before I upgraded to the 370Z, I had an 07 350Z and got alot of attention. Now with the 370Z, I feel like I get less attention, although the few

Before I upgraded to the 370Z, I had an 07 350Z and got alot of attention. Now with the 370Z, I feel like I get less attention, although the few that ask about my car are shocked when I tell them it's an 09.

The worst compliment I've gotten: "You're car is cute!" dumb sorority b*tch....

One cold winter evening, I had this family drive right behind me in the next lane going on the highway. They took a good few photos with their windows down lol
That or they were calling the cops because my car is too cool to go the speed limit?!

Whenever I park my Z in my shop and all the salesman were looking at my car trying to figure it out who own the car that nobody don't know I own it and they like my car.

Once this $hit is paid off, then I'd be really cool.

This reminds me of a time some random guy asked me "how is the Z life?"

He was seriously asking me this. I just looked at him.

It's a car. Just a car.

When I drove my Beamer, no one admired it because there's too many of them! Once I bought my Z, get complimented at gas stations and on the road haha Also a lot of stares wherever I go. (DRL also helps the attention cause of the brightness haha)

LOL how awkward right? i've honestly seen more maserati's than 370's this winter on the road.




on a mini day-trip when i was stopping for breakfast this guy with his 3 year old in a g37 was talking to me about how his dad got the 370 and gave him the g37. apparently he needed 4 seats... i told him about the child anchor in the hatch and that his wife could probably fit in the trunk. problem solved.

Leaving the grocery store two days ago, a mom was walking with what I guess were her two daughters, about 7 to 9 years old. One of the girls hollered, "Nice car".

Does that make me cool?



As a point of information, my 240Z gets way more attention than the 370.

I don't think a car can make a person cool, becuase an a...hole will allways be an a...hole no matter what he drives. I stopped over my daughters place yesterday and her neighbor runs out kind of mean looking and asks me why the hell I drive "that" car in the Winter...I looked at him with a smile and said it's just a Z....he says is that a Porsche new model?... I said yeah and walked away shaking my head but smiling

Reality really sunk in when this hillbilly kid with half his teeth missing told me the Z was his dream car. At least his dream is somewhat attainable. Mine is an Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale...don't think that's going to happen.

I get compliments and stares at my NISMO daily. Its rare to see The 2014 Pearl White model with the Charcoal accents, also people tend to get mesmerized by my rims with Red lips and NISMO decals and wet look tires.
