Cheers to that lad!
I've noticed the kids get hyped up most :) I like to give them a show every now and then.

I remember when I was young I'd see sports cars and always give the owners thumbs up and they'd just ignore me, so I'd like to change that haha.

Done that on the interstate. His head was hanging out the window when I was done.....LOL All Smiles in the whole car, MOM included.

This car just gets too much attention. It is the one thing that I don't like about the Z. Especially in the big city, drawing attention to yourself is not a good thing. I've actually thought about trading the car on this issue alone. The car is a blast to drive though and that balances it out. At least I know, that even if I could afford a Ferrari I would never buy one...too much attention. I'm trying to think of something more stealthy, but still fun. I had a Bimmer 3 series which was a good alternative, but the damn thing was a piece of crap. Now I don't trust the so called great German engineering so Mercedes and Audi are out as well.

The car gets so much attention you have considering trading it and you had a BMW 3 series you didn't like so all German cars are not good enough.

Holy hyperbole, Batman! :rolleyes:

Ever have someone whistle at you at a red light :ugh2:?

So awkward.. I'm in the Z with my friend and were talking and I hear a noise but I ignore it and then this guy yells at me from behind me on the left side saying, "hey I like your set up." LOL.

Thanks bro.

:iagree:

Kids are more honest than adults, so if a kid says he likes your car, it must be true :happydance:

Got the "you have a cute car" comment, from a female co-worker today. That's a compliment right? :confused:

Ever since Nissan ran those Altima race car commercials, Altimas keep racing at me. I don't race, but it's pure joy to get up to the speed limit as fast as I can.

Everywhere I go, everyone is looking at my Z. Every sports car revs (which I take that as a compliment because our cars just look aggressive). I've had ladies blow kisses and one even asked if I was married.

I didn't consider this before I bought my Z, and don't mind it most of the time...BUT I get very nervous about where I park and like to be able to see my car when I go someplace in the city.. Sometimes I'm shopping and feel the urge to go check on my car. It's the attention that u don't want if u know what I mean sometimes.

Recently I've discovered challengers love to rev at stop lights next to me.

a bee took a crap on my Z's hood while parked inside my garage.

I had two random guys stop and talk to me last night while my wife was picking up her phone (she left it in a restaurant ) but one guy asked me, "what nationality are you?" I replied American, the guy responded, "Are you a tuner or a ricer?" I was a little confused and just said tuner, the other guy with him said, "See?" then said, "Nice car man," while the first guy said, "No you're a ricer" and walked off.

To clarify to you guys the only modifications I have to my Z are tinted windows, K&N drop ins HPS tubes and a Berk CBE.

Apparently driving any import in the Southern states still makes you a ricer to the hardcore rednecks.

Oh well, the other guy liked the car and gave a thumbs up as I drove off since the Berk CBE sounds amazing.

welcome to america

honestly speaking, most people gravitate more towards my modded G than my Z.

when i was working on PDR'ing my dd's due to a hail storm a few weeks back, i had the G parked on the driveway. people stopped by even taking pictures of my ride complimenting me, etc.

no comment on my Z. :ugh:

No kidding. It's like complaining that your **** is too big.

HAHAH LMAO! I would say that is a compliment.. Only if she, herself is cute.

Yes, any muscle car. Over here in the bay area, they're are SO many mustangs, camaros and challengers. It's ridiculous how many there are lol. One thing I love about the 370z is that you won't see many out there so I somewhat feel like I have a rare car haha..

Oh. And I hate driving near Altimas. Those commercials on TV insprire those drivers a little bit too much.
