Who compliments your Z?
 
This may seem like a strange thread, but I've noticed a very particular demographic that likes/compliments my car. Please note that in NO WAY is this meant to be racist...it's merely a description of my interactions of late. Random experiences have shown that middle-age African American men absolutely love the 370Z. I occasionally get a middle-age woman who says it's cool or that she wants one eventually. Kids randomly comment as well. But by and large, African American men stop me at gas stations, walk up while I'm stopped at traffic lights, or gesture for a window roll down all the time. Not sure how to explain it, but I certainly agree with them. I love this car too :tup:

x2, same thing for me actually. I also get many comps and "that stare of awe" from men and women in far more expensive cars (the best was from a middle aged white couple in a Ferrari California that gave me smiles, waves, and fist pumps)!

Within this week, I had kids point their fingers at the car as I was driving past them; I had my employer tell me my car was hot; yesterday I had a older lady stop at my car and told me that my car was sexy. The lady was driving a newer mercedes. They were all white. :icon23::icon23::icon23:

Mostly middle aged women notice mine.

Yea, black people love this car. I usually get a "Dammmmmmnn" followed by a "How much you pay for that?". I got the same reaction from them with the G37. Little kids love it too (although half of them think its a porsche or something). I had some 7 year old kid run to my car when I ran into the store real quick and when I came back he told me how the 370 was his favorite car in the world lol. It was cool that he actually knew what it was

When I occasionally bring my car to work, Ive watched people drive into our parking lot, stop near my car, stare at it, and then just leave! Makes you feel good in a "yeah, thats mine" kinda way!

How wierd is this thread. More often than not it'd be a black guy or a middle aged woman that would actually come up to me and talk to me about the Z. probably 70% of the time I'd say. Kids love the 370 as well.

When I lived in an apartment one of my neighbor's kids would always drool over it but he kept calling it a Corvette. :icon18:

Though the best car guy encounter ever was an old WWII/Korea vet that came up and told me how much my car reminded him of his first Corvette. Pretty cool considering he spent a few years shooting at the people that built it!
