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
A cop told me the same thing once. Pretty much let me go on a warning (gave me a no front plate ticket instead), after saying that insurance would probably skyrocket if he gave me the speeding ticket. He also considered the fact that I was 21 at the time.

On a different note, everyone still sure seems to be getting lots of compliments on their Z. When I first got my Z, I used to get lots of them, too. Recently, however, the comments had sort of diminished.

My next car will hopefully be a Porsche . I've been drooling over them big time as of late. My friend owns a 911 GT3 and it's just so ******* sexy. I also really like the Cayman's. Until then, the Z will have to do.

I pulled mine through the dealership service garage and while talking to the service person two guys were
Checking out my Z. My husband was off to the side watching. Not sure if it was because I got my Z at a Chevrolet dealer but it got some attention that day. And finally my husband got to see what a eye catcher
A Z is !

According to Porsche, the 911, Cayman and Boxster are due for a redesign for 2017. I'm going to wait and see if I like what they've done. If it's good, then I'm going to order a 2018 Cayman in Nissan Monterey Blue to match Belle, since the guy at Porsche North America told me I can order the car in any color I want (for a price, of course).

Lmfao at 1st post.

I went to in-n-out and saw the staff 'miring from the window. When I pulled up to pay, 3-4 crew members gathered around the 2nd window so that one of the guys could deliver my food as he eye'd my car. I heard someone in the back say, "I think it's a Nissan s1000."

I lulz'd pretty hard and revved my engine for their entertainment (and mine as well).

Why does everyone confuse it for the 350z? It's so very different o_O

I attended the largest car show in Nebraska a few weeks ago and all of the people running the car show (4 or 5 people thought the day) referred to my car as "that 350z". When I was parking "oh just follow that other 350z" and "what is this 350z here, does it even make noise" (joking I hope). Etc. all the 350z owners knew that I was different. I don't get it, they look so different to me.

Also I was the only 370 at the whole show, which was kinda cool but, at the same time, I wanted to meet some fellow 370Z enthusiasts.
