Filling up the wifes Z for her.
Fat girl in a beater Hyundai "Oh hi! Nice car!"
Me "Thanks. It's my wifes"
Fat girl "What's she do to afford a car like that"
Me "She's a hooker. Is that how you got the money for that sweet *** ride?":gtfo2:
Dude at the next pump almost fell out.

You guys are my kind of people. Quick with the wit and don't even miss a beat.

Some guy at my work told me I drive a really nice HONDA. I told him I don't own a honda and he insisted, "yeah the black car outside!"

I was a little offended but he knows nothing about cars. I was like "It says Nissan on the front in big letters"

I also get asked a lot if its a 350 or 370 and I cannot for the life of me figure out how people cannot tell them apart. They look so different to me

I have never been asked what kind of car it is whether I was in the 350Z or in the 370Z. If it ever happened, I'd answer with "it's a Porssh".

Trend setters eh?

Really ... it's just like a 240 ... it's just 130 more ... right?

:icon17:

Happens all the time...

Drive through is usually "Nice car!" or the apparently common "Is that a nice 350z?" or "Nice 350z".

Once went to five guys, when I walked in a older guy up to me to ask few questions
Guy: Hey my man!, Lemme ask you something!
Me: Sure!
Guy: Are you single? and have no kids?
Me: Yeah?
Guy: I knew it! No woman would let their man drive around town in a car like that alone.
Me: Haha, why do you say that?
Guy: Because I bet you get all the girls numbers!

I just laughed, although I get "hot guy with a hot car" when I was playing the field or hooking up... But after that, the cashier wanted to talk to me about 350Z's and 370Z's.

Took it to get the oil changed (i provide my own oil and filter) and get it washed/waxed and watched as they all had to walk around it staring at it, Even a customer had to walk over for a closer look.

wtf... i have had 0 luck 'getting chicks' with this car just randomly strolling around.

more often than not it's a guy fan-girl'ing my car (not that i don't mind)

guess it doesn't help when there are a bunch of toyobaru's (external aethetics), m3/m4, audi's and higher end luxury cars out there. or that my gf is like 'the FRS makes me wet'.

well go figure...

just got another one at mcdonalds.....

cashier girl: oh my your car is sexy. i love porsches.
me: i love porsches too.....maybe one day i'll own one.

*queue straight pipes leaving the drive thru*

:icon18::driving:

lol didnt think the porsche comparison was so common, one night i went out with a few buddies and ended up at a club, ended up meeting this smoking hot chick inside and we had a good time together, so i was being a gentlemen and offered to giver her a ride to her car since the parking lot was fairly large and of course the z was parked vip basically at the club entrance convo was like
girl: where are you parked at
me: right here infront that white car
girl: where (looks around and doesnt seem to know what color white is i guess)
me: right here common and hit the key fob to unlock the doors
Girl: thats your car!!?? no way (shock and aww)
me: yes
girl: Man baller i love your porsche
Me: Ohh umm.. yea thanx lol

Needless to say i didnt jst end up taking her to her car that night lol so that was the one special time that happend. The younger kids taking pics or people at the stop light looking at it and people checking out the work wheels is more common. OH and the fact i removed all the nissan burgers and 370z letters removed doesnt help the public

mishuko, so for a date, do you take your gf to a Scion showroom then rush home?? :icon17:

:rofl2:

The fact that people still don't know what it is, that's huge selling point. I can't throw a rock 100 feet in any direction around here without hitting a Mustang or a Camaro.

:icon18: Almost spewed beer on my laptop screen :icon18:

And now I have tears streaming down my face.

i much rather her sprawl all over the other cars instead of mine so i don't have to spend a weekend buffing out the swirls :happydance:

last time i buffed out my car the gf wasn't happy.

i had a date with my hand. the random orbital made my hands numb. felt like a stranger.

Thread should be renamed to "What kind of attention do you get while driving your Porsche" :tiphat:

Keep the stories coming fellas :tup:

Had a state trooper tell me nice 370 before writing me a ticket for passing on the shoulder...long story...

One day, when I got out of one store, I saw a Police Office looking at my car inside thru the window. I immediately thought that something was wrong:

I said: Excuse me, anything wrong?
Police said: I was just admiring your car, nice Z man.
I said: Thank you, I appreciate that.
Police: I have a Z32 TT at home
I Said: That's my favorite model of Z.
Police: I would race you if I see you.
I Said: Alright, sounds good but, I don't want a ticket.
Police: Oh **** I'm not being recorded right?
I said: Nah man. You are good.
Police: Gave me the thumbs up and said Have a good Night.

True Story.

Might as well...

So my girlfriend has always been jealous of the fact that I pay so much attention to my cars. One day, we got into an argument about how all I do is spend money on it. Once the argument got heated enough, we both stopped just to cool off outside on her porch while looking at the stars.

Her: "Your car isn't even that nice anyway. It looks weird! I don't know why people even like those things."
Stranger riding bike: "Hey is that your ride, nice car man!"
Her: "I'm sure he's lying"

10 seconds later...

Lady walking down the street: "Oh my god! I love your Porsche, it looks so sexy!"
Me: :rofl2: DAT PORSCHE

did that piss her off more? :happydance:

lol what did she say after that?

Time for a new girlfriend.

It definitely set her over the edge hahaha. She just got an ecoboost mustang and is in love, so I trade her daily. Now she knows how it feels to own a car she can actually appreciate.

tell her it's not a mustang unless it's the 5.0 and she should get a refund

Any more hp and she'll kill herself lol

Race her and let her win. She will be totally into it then.

This reminds of my gf telling me that my Z is immature teenager car, keep in mind that back then the Z was bone stock and I was 23 years old.

Now I'm happily single. True story. Lol

Good thread;

I gave up correcting people years ago with the Z (04 350, Lemans Sunset) and usually answered "you sir / ma'am have a good eye for cars...", I've found people, in general, don't like to be corrected, I just agree and move on "ya, Stallone was great as the Terminator"; unless safety is involved (ie bomb squad guy" I'm cutting the blue wire", "erm.. red wire")
I once complemented a guy, getting gas, on his well done civic (it happens!) and he was all offended "it's a type R man" and while feeling like saying "wow, and you take it of the museum?" just said "niice...."
So I just figure no one else is going to care if it's really a 370 or a 350 or an ecclipse or a nismo let them go home and say "I saw a Bugatti at the Qwuick-E-Mart"

But it was a type R Bugatti. :eek:

I have always referred to my Z as the poor mans Porsche! :rofl2:

Or a 350z Type R Nismo Lambo.

In the part of San Diego I live, it gets zero attention. Lots of tesla's, couple GTRs, lots of Porsche's. So I'm kinda the low rent guy.

Now if I can only get people around to learn to park worth a sh1t ...

Must have been the other Z Club...brz ;)

After being PASSED on the freeway with the cruise control set at 74 in a 65. Literally the family car passed me right in front of the cop that we both apparently didn't know was behind me, pulls me over about 10 seconds later. Super nice guy, talked for a bit and then said I'm giving you a warning just bc I can't imagine what insurance would be on a car like this. Said have a good night and was on his way. Whatever, I'll take the compliment. LOL

I prefer the company of other men. So you're pretty on point and in which case I prefer :p

Once I pulled up to the Whataburger menu to order and there was a guy out back cleaning. He apparently ran inside to tell someone else, because two others ran to the window and said, "I had to come see. Someone said there was a badass car outside." Then another walked out the side door to check it out. :icon17:

Gave them a :tup:.


As far as people calling it a 350Z... I just don't respond until they get it correct or give up. Then I ask them, "The 370Z?" :icon17:
