I was waiting for this post. I get these every other day. The clowns almost kill people trying to merge on to the highway.:confused::driving::confused:

I don't think that is valid statement. You can drive like a gentleman and still get the douchebag response, people trying to push you off the road, and the folks that just have to pass that sports car in the minivan. It is just the way it is.

I don't get negative responses, but I typically drive just over the speed limit and in no occasion race people in 5:00 traffic on wet roads. However gentlemanly my driving is it doesn't stop every redneck with their turbo diesel brodozer from riding right up to my bumper and then passing me and slowing down trying to race before eventually taking off going 100+, mad because I wouldn't race them. At least where I am people want to race sports cars, and get mad when you want to obey laws.

Like I said before I can't say it's negative response but it is definitely unwanted. This happens more often if I drive slow and gentlemanly.

350z Back in the day-So I had to take this car to Mexico once as we were going to Rocky Point, our rental fell through bc I was under 25 at the time so just purchased international insurance and parked her at the resort.
1-So first as we are passing the border i got stopped going INTO Mexico and checked, I think he wanted to make sure it was my car and not somebody running across the border.
2-about 30 mins in we are driving through this just RUN down town, boarded up buildings and all and I'm on a single lane road. This guy drives up next to me (in what is not a lane), I see bullet holes along side his truck, thing is 3 different colors, I'm a little nervous, put it down in second gear so I can take off if I need to and finally see the driver. I'm met with the biggest happiest grin I've ever seen and a huge thumbs up. It was awesome.
3-On the drive back home, people posing in front of the car at a gas station and taking pictures.

---------------
370z Nismo- All the time people ask what kind of car that is, nice car, I was stopped at a light and a lady in her 40s talked about how much she loved the car and how she usually doesn't like white cars, but that is just absolutely gorgeous. Then once walking back to a parking lot there was a car circling it with their head completely out the window staring at it. HA. I'm assuming when I get the car back from FI the attention is only going to increase and I can't wait! :driving:

Pretty much every time I take the Z out I get a "Nice Z!" or catch someone breakin necks. Not surprising though as I've seen very few 370s around here...mostly Chargers and Mustangs with the occasional Camaro. But yeah, the kids are hilarious. Had a gang of them, around 10-12 years old, chasing me on their bicycles through my neighborhood yelling "Do a burnout!" and "Rev it!". Of course I didn't do a burnout but a couple 5-6k revs through the Ark had them hollering...lol.

I did have this one dude in a Del Sol try and start some stuff. Was sitting at a light and I hear a rattling, clattering racket coming from my left. This Del Sol was wrekt...lol. 5 different colors. Engine sounded like it was about to fall out of the damn thing. Light turns green and I take off with just mild acceleration. Next thing I know this Del Sol comes rolling up next to me hard. I literally thought to myself "This car is going to explode right next to me!". This thing was so loud it actually startled me. I was only at 4k in 1st so I hammered the gas, broke the end out a little, dropped it into 2nd and rolled out. Having that death trap next to me was seriously unsettling.

I get waves and head nods from other Z drivers. The wife gets hit on a lot when she drives it.

Was on my way to Cabela's the other day. Was doing about 75 mph. Had an R8 come up behind me. He stayed behind me for awhile. Basically pacing me. Then he comes up beside me and put the window down. I looked over and he game me the :tup: That made my day. :D

For the first time since owning my Z I've gotten some bad attention, well more like crazy guy going nuts over my car but whatever.

Went to the docs with the Wife for our annual physical, the location is not the best part of town so there's a few odd people around there, any ways I get out of the car and this guy just go nuts, he's about 60 feet away and starts screaming to go f*** my mother, called me a f***ing white basterd / etc. He then starts hitting a metal paper box like crazy and then finally walks away, I was just dumbfounded the entire time while the Wife is telling me not to say anything as the guy is definitely on drugs :).

Lol, more funny than anything, but just goes to show some people are just nuts, thank god when I got back for the doc there wasn't any damage to the car, it crossed my mind.

I think people think the car is more expensive than it really is, so in their minds it's some sorta power play show off car, and that pisses them off because they're jealous on some levels depending on where they set the bar in their minds... or they're just crazy or both!

What I don't get: If the "average" car is now $33k, why the hell are people buying such boring cars when they travel alone 95% of the time? One can pay movers and have most anything shipped directly to your home anymore, so why a "me too" four door sedan or Suv that people take camping once every other summer?

Mine hauls fire wood n beer just fine!!

I haven't received any negative attention. Mostly people just looking it over with smiles or nodding approvingly. Quite a few people have complimented it when getting gas or at stop light. But then it could be my intensely engaging appearance too.

DeliriousClam 08-30-2015 07:59 PM

Passing through a construction zone and a cop yelled to me "You have a beautiful car man!" First time I actually got a positive reaction...

370deep 08-31-2015 05:54 PM

being only z in town of 10k people, gets me lots of compliments and attention, specially for the short tails with titanium blue tips, since my car is midnight blue, titanium tips blends perfectly.

Most asked Question about Z.

Hey, Did it come like that ?

I got a thumbs from someone today on my way home from work. I didn't know what to do, so I gave him a thumbs up right back. :ugh2:
