Hum......... what am I doing wrong? :icon14:

If we are talking feel, to me it feels a bit like a combination of an MX-5 and an E46 M3, both of which I am a big fan of.

To be honest, 95% of those comments come from women. So maybe hang around more women??? LOL! :icon17:

I've had little kids to old people give me the :tup:. Had pictures and video's taken. Sitting still and in motion. :rofl2: One of the best was a school bus full of kids putting the windows down and sticking their cell phones out taking pictures and video. The neighbor girl who was 14 at the time. Was out front of her house with a couple of her friends. When I started to back out of the garage and head towards them. They all started with their cell phones. :rofl2:

As much as i wont a bike i know buying one might cost me my life with the way these clowns drive in NY..Maybe if i lived down south i would get one. One of the reasons i got my Z fun and safe.

I turn on my car and that nice deep growl of the Ark grip exhaust got his attention and moments later as i was leaving the gas station the dude just looked at me with a dirty look at called me a entitled douche bag... :rolleyes: and shouted something along the lines mommy n daddys money.. :tup:

I take it as a compliment of course! Lets face it, the Z has got timeless curves & well if done nicely n well maintained is honestly a neck breaker!

I also love it when i got other cars like Honda's and whatnot tailgating me and trying to get me to react. I just keep calmly cruising while they make all the noise they want right behind me.. until they eventually feel stupid and pull back. Not worth the Z's time nor gas.. I cant help but to feel its like a civic trying to rev up next to a lambo :icon17: not in just speed wise but style, class, everything.

People think im paranoid or delusional when i explain these weird daily encounters. I had people cut me off at a stop light, i had a soccer dad cut me off on the highway doing 100 he lost control and flipped his jeep 9 times and almost land in oncoming traffic on the other side..Thank god the fool didnt hit nobody else more,my car only got scratched and he still has his life!

People keep saying it dont matter what you drive theres idiots everywhere and i totally agree but driving a sports car that looks like it might cost a lot of money brings out a speciel group of morons that i never experienced before coming from a honda civic.:shakes head::eek::tiphat::driving:

I've always loved the second gen 300Z twin turbo. The design is timeless and I believe the 370Z will be looked at in the same way in 15 years.

That was the first Z i saw and loved. Really enjoyed looking at it parked across from my school every day walking home from school back in the day, and a 94 toyata supra parked around my block made those long walks so much fun:excited: Big fan of all those classic japanese legend cars like the mazda rx7 and nissan skylines.:yum:

I was never a fan of the 350 either. I've developed an appreciation for it over the years, but I have zero desire to own one.

The 350z is a little turtle. I never liked them and I am a Z person through and through. When the 370z came out I wanted one. Go figure.

I don't know how bad it is in NY but, here in S AR, bikers seem to be invisible to many drivers. But we don't have near as much traffic, so that makes things a less scary.

From what I've heard/read, it's pretty much a global thing. Might be universal - watch out for E.T. when you're cruising on Mars.

I've rode a motorcycle since I was 7yrs old. Both dirt and street. When I'm on a bike. I keep my head on a swivel. I try to anticipate other drivers moves in advance. Never had an encounter with a car or truck. But with a cow on a back road on night. :eek:

That's how I fell too. Until I bought one. I live in Utica New York and it is quite a show. Terrible drivers but you'll have that everywhere. Started off on a 600 mid-year I bought a brand new 1000. Don't hold yourself back.
