hehe, that's the problem with the internet.. we don't really know who we're talking about.. but anyways, no I don't DEPEND on my car to get the ladies.. but just like nice clothes, or being in shape a little doesn't HURT your chances, a chick magnet shouldn't either.. Right? I should know, I have the biggest chick magnet of them all, a sports bike. :tup:

Still, in the end it all comes down to just knowing how to play them and what to say/how to act, I know that..

Who said anything about 40k? And you're not really spending $30,000.. You're spending a few hundred a month.. :ugh2:

lol.. well I love the BMW 135i.. Im trying to decide between that and the 370z.. Its a REALLY HARD decision..

You will understand the implications when you study about this ongoing American recession in your history class :tup:

Yes but you are not in the gene pool I was referring to :tiphat: so your confusion is justified in my books.. lol

PS: I said $40k instead of 30k because when you add taxes (NY here) + other random fees + interest on a fully loaded Z, thats what it does come to. Try the calculation yourself you'll see.

Thats what I love about my girl she loves cars, and knows a lot about them , plus she thinks the Z's are sexy! she cant wait for me to get one so I can teach her to drive mt.

^^^^^^ Thats what I'm talking about.
Neela from Tokyo Drift is THE dream girl :)
I play that song on repeat over and over - thats how I fell in love with the Z.

^ It was painful. It blows my mind how so many drivers don't seem to be thinking even ONE step ahead of whatever action they're taking at the time. They just act on impulse all the time, as if tailgating is going to get you somewhere faster -- an especially funny assumption when the car in front of you is stopped or in heavy traffic.

E-brake did save the day in that latter case if my memory serves me correct. You do feel like a noob doing it, but sometimes the risk just isn't worth the aggravation, you know?

Sounds like there's a lot of angry/road rage drivers in the US.

In the short time I have had my Z I have noticed much of the opposite where I live. People stay out of my way, give way when not necessary and give me preference when in 50/50 situations. Almost like a level of respect for the car as opposed to the jealous/arrogant approach.

On the chick magnet front, most girls I've spoken too don't even have any idea what a 370z is....but they love it when they see it :tup: .

In general I've found people take it different ways. Most fall in love with the car and think "wow, nice work or having an amazing ride" others get a case of tall poppy syndrone and get jealous, thinking "who does this young guy think he is driving something like that". Happens from time to time, especially coming from a working class town.

funny thing is, the OPPOSITE happened to me once =p. i'm on the freeway in my subaru forester and what comes to tailgate me? a bike using his high beams on me the whole time. i was on the farthest left lane, but i wasn't going slow by any means 140 km/h, which is what im guessing around 80-85 mph? now on a road with a bunch of traffic thats not bad.

but anyways i didnt do the anything slow down (didnt feel like being an *** with him), speed up. but then when a space opened up on the right he gunned it past me and flipped me off.

anyways if i hit the brakes, theres no way his 2 wheels could have stopped him in time given the amount of space in between us.

Sorry.... I saw a few Japenese girls in the background shots I would take over Neela in a heartbeat!!!

A salute to Australia. Would that it were true here. One reason I gave up my bike was so many people seemed to be trying to kill me. I can't believe the difference between driving the 2006 Pathfinder I traded on the Z. People pull out in front of me, most often women on cell phones even though they are staring right at me. At four way stop signs, even when I am clearly first, I often let the other guy/gal go otherwise they go anyway. This morning a woman in a white SUV was waiting to pull onto a main road. In front of me was another white SUV. She waited for him to pass. The distance between the SUV waiting to pull out and the SUV she did not pull out in front of was the same. I was already prepared. Even though I was going faster than the SUV in front of me and my car is red, sure enough, she paused, and then pulled out in front of me. So typical.

I never had this problem

ever for some reason

Must be because Belgium and its drivers are perfect.
