do you ever forget...?

BamBamZ · 03-23-2015, 08:30 AM

I've only had mine for several weeks by now. But in my last truck, I got a lot of compliments and people stopping me to talk about it. (it was a bright red tacoma x-runner).

I guess I might just be used to people staring that I don't notice it much... However, I thought it was funny when I went to get the oil changed and have them wash/wax the Z that they all stared at it and a customer bringing in his Jeep wondered over to it to get a closer look... I snapped a shot of it.

"mere mortals"....dude, it's just a matter of time, probably sooner than later, before the 370z goes into civic status

The 350z isn't even there yet (at least by me) so no worries here.

350Z has been in civic status for a while IMO. when you see high school kids driving them, then you know your car is outdated.

well, just hang tight for another 5-6yrs and kids will go onto the next thing and we just enjoy the car the way it should be enjoyed.

It's hard to forget how unique and nice looking my Z is. I get at least a couple compliments every week. From strangers mostly too! Also friends/family of course.

k, never driven my z to lowes.. or homedepot.. ikea.. or any home improvement stores..

'do you ever forget' per title, that this is a sports car and not a pick up truck?

I live in a place with small town mentalities, I get lots of compliments on my Porsche ( I drive a '10 370z). I just say thank you as I have not found a polite way to correct them.

Next time I'm told I drive a Porsche my reply will be ..yes is the Japanese Porsche made in Japan not Germany and see what happens

I have the opposite problem. I sometimes will nod at a driver in a nice sports car, and then realize that I'm rolling in my Ford Transit work van..complete with ladder rack.
