DrMIKE! you are still on our forum? Very glad to see you. I think you were one of the VERY first premium member. You're the OG of the all OGs!

How's everything?

Seen only 2 others on road in Broward County FL, both last week. One PW and one PG. And technically, I guess I see mine out the side mirror, so make that 3.

See 350s once a day - not enough to get boring...

See way more G35s and G37s.

I have only seen one 370Z in Arizona. I'd say they are pretty rare.

People around my area know it's me when they see a black 370z.
But yesterday my friend told me he saw someone else driving one but I think it's a person I met at my first meet. lol... Still rare around this part of town.

I've seen 3 370Zs on the road and 2 GTRs. Obviously seen much more at shows so I know they are out there, but the rarity in which I happen to pass by one on the road is still very high. I just drove to/from Montreal for business and didn't see a single one. I'm not out driving much during the daytime though, so that is also a factor that needs to be considered. I take great enjoyment driving past my local Nissan dealer at least 3 times a week to go to the gym and note that the same 3 370Zs are still sitting in the lot :P

Yup, enjoying it while it lasts!

When I first got my 350.... I worked at a place and one of the older sales guys got jealous.... aside from the business owners jags, the 350 was by far the nicest car there... so this D-bag went and bought one... automatic.... same color (silver). The first time I saw it I thought someone moved my car, lol. The next time he saw me he made sure to come over and rub it in and how it's just a toy... he was acting like a total **** about it. I'm like... uhhh... good for you buddy.... don't care... good luck with the mid-life crisis.

fast forward 5 years... my new place of employment.... I had my 370 a few months before someone else got one. Silver.... automatic... non sport (notice a trend here). The guy also has a handicap sticker and gets to park up front. My gf said he wears a nissan cap and used to have an older Z... so that's cool at least.

I've only seen a few others in OKC. There are probably 10 or so 350's where I work... I remember when I started there, there were only 2 or 3. Nobody really has any go-fast mods and my 350 was definitely the quickest of them all (even the HR's).

I don't mind the commonality like most of you dread. I never bought either Z for the attention... and don't really care for it. I like seeing other Z's out there. It's funny because most of the people you see on the street in a Z.... are like you guys. They look pissed like you're stealing their thunder. ha ha....

That's what pisses me off. Lots of the ones I have seen driven by men act like hardass d-bags.

What about the stuck-up chick I saw on my only test drive in Sept....still the only other 370Z I've seen on the road....she looked over at me at a stoplight, then when I politely gave a little hey, another 370Z wave, she gave me a pert hair-flip (no acknowledgment) and sped off.

A pert hair flip? You sure it wasn't a 'come hither' gesture?

I bought the Z for me and I don't really care if I see none or 100.

kannibul · 11-23-2009, 11:40 AM

Recently, I've seen only 1. I've not seen the blue one that was roaming my neighborhood...where every time I saw it, I thought, yep, I'll have one...

The one I keep seeing is black like mine. Haven't gotten enough of a look at it yet to tell "which" 370z it is. I know it's not NIZMO.
