yea, when you consider the fact that the same size house up here costs 2-300k or more than elsewhere, you think 'damn, i could literally live somewhere else and own a lambo or more certainly easily afford a GT-R'

To an extent... my same job would pay me literally 2x more anywhere around the NYC metro area or DC. That would give me about the same extra amount of cash if I lived in the burbs...

Professional salaried jobs are usually adjusted pretty well for the local cost of living, especially for engineers. I don't know about other fields and levels of jobs, but I assume some people get screwed based upon their location.

I was driving on I-40 on my way back into Raleigh yesterday and saw a late model M3 pull up behind me, I sped up a little (about 7-9 over) and he followed. I pulled in the right lane and we exchanged a little "thumbs up" and he drove off.

I guess some of the m3 drivers around here are alright. *gasp*

I think most d-bags are moving on to Audi's. That's why we are beginning to show signs of normal people driving M3's.

vman · 09-18-2010, 10:47 AM

I think I am one of those normal people. I use to drive a '05 G35 coupe and moved to a '04 E46 M3, after considering the 370Z. Whenever I see a 370Z on the street, I always stare and admire it. For some reason I still have that urge to buy one, but think I am going to save for a pre-owned GT-R.

I think every car maker has their d-bags, my friend who drives a Mustang told me Bimmer drivers are d-bags. I just thought "really.....". When I had a black G35 coupe a white G35 coupe apparently had something to prove and had to catch up and race by me. I had bimmers cut me off in my M3, so on and so on.

I think there are some people out there, like me, that buy a certain car, but can appreciate makes and models from other car makers. I had a lot of people tell me how nice my G and my M were and I did the same to nicely tuned Civics, Intergras, M's, etc.

I mean, if you watch:

YouTube - Inheritance - Nissan GT-R Short Film

How can you not appreciate the sound of the 280ZX?

Heck, although I bought an M, I still visit this site once in a while to see the latest and greatest news on the 370Z.

All we are saying, is give peace a chance?

I was sitting at a stop light the other afternoon to go out for the evening and saw a girl in an Explorer sitting way off of me(prob 3-4 car lengths) and i was trying to figure out what was going on. She popped out the drivers window and started taking pictures of my car and then out the sun roof doing the same. Guess people that don't see a Z everyday think its a big deal.

Maxima09 · 09-18-2010, 11:27 AM

I have been looking at M3 sedan myself and I drive like my grandmother does...I think some people can drive anything and still be cool about it.

daisuke149 · 09-18-2010, 10:27 PM

just as a side note, as I was pulling out of the neighborhood, a cop for Doraville (i live in Johns creek) was pulling in and he stopped rolled down his windows

"Hey is that the new z?? (yes) its really nice man looks awesome. take care"

he waved at me and drove on.

Was cool honestly I didnt see Doraville at first and almost **** myself.

MichaelNguyen · 09-21-2010, 12:23 PM

haha thats funny

4r3s · 09-25-2010, 09:20 PM

had a guy in a mercedes slk follow me into a parking lot this weekend, older guy, parked right next to me. I tend to park as far away from other people as possible so im thinking wtf does this toon want. I get out of my car and he proceeds to tell me how much he likes my car and its the first time hes seen the blue. Felt really weird to have someone in an slk to tell me how much he wished he waited for the 370s to come out to buy a new car. Then he drove off, he literally followed me into the parking lot to tell me he liked my car lol

ResQguy · 10-08-2010, 10:00 PM

Funny. One of my good friends drives a nicely modded '04 M3. He did nothing but talk smack about my Z when I bought it. Once he drove it, he had nothing but compliments.

KainZ · 10-09-2010, 09:17 AM

Gosh and to think I was looking at an M3 myself. >_<

I still like the car, but I don't see the sense in trying to bash someone else's car because it's "not your model/make". D-bags abound...where's my boom-stick?
