I once lived in a neighborhood of 50 homes where 3 of us had late 80's RED 911 Carerras.

Mine was the first. I like to think that my good taste influenced those guys in a positive way.....:driving:

(besides, I had cooler wheels on mine)....;)

Yeah, but as you've owned roughly 7.5 billion models of cars in your lifetime, the statistical probability that someone in a 10 sq. mi. radius is driving the same car as you is roughly 100%.

lol :bowrofl:

Jeffblue 10-14-2010 03:40 PM

any differences in trim level? do a mod or two. if he copies your mods too then THAT is annoying.

ProfessorDave 10-14-2010 05:59 PM

Your neighbor is in love with you. Can't everyone see it?!?

FL 4Motion 10-14-2010 06:13 PM

OP, of all the shitty things in life to get stressed over, some guy who lives next to you and happens to own the exact same car as you is what you decide warrants a post on this forum and getting all upset over?? :shakes head:

my advice: grow the fukc up and stop giving a sh!t what other people think and do.

SophiaZ 10-14-2010 06:14 PM

my boss told me the day after I bought my Blue Z that he's gonna trade in his 350z for the 40th anniv. That really got me heated...but felt ok in a sense becuz he doesnt do mods on his cars so mine'll look better in the long run IMO. But it was just the fact, ya know?! Anyways..he took the Z for a test drive and told me he won't buy it becuz it didn't do anything for him. That had me shocked since he's coming from on 03 Red 350 with no mods except Nismo exhaust. Either which way..I'm relieved :)

And sorry to hear about your neightbor, what a douche!

He obviously wanted to let loose and say how f'ed up this situation is. No need to lash out on him.....maybe YOU need to go scream into a pillow or something for your own troubles :stirthepot:

I am thinking I'll have to trade mine in for a GTR, that should hold off the Joneses for a while.

I suppose eventually these cars will be as common as the old 350Zs were back in the days when everyone had a house to mortgage away to buy a car.

RED? Nah.....Blackout Fangz, Black Rimz, Exhaust, Xtra Dark Tint, Blackout tail lightz....Blackout or Color Match Door Handles.....Maybe even do a Stillen or Amuse or even Veilside body kit.....won't look the same and cheaper than a GTR :)

cab83_750 10-14-2010 06:24 PM

It's a free country and world. Anyone could buy anything? They don't have to differentiate their choices just beCause it would offend the neighbor.

It should not bother you. But then again, we are all different and only you can answer the issue.


FYI, my left and right neighbors both have the same suv and same color. It doesn't seem to bother them.

Lemers 10-14-2010 06:27 PM

Zees are 30k to 40k. I would hope that he had better reasons than "I wanna be like Mike".

When I went to buy my Z I told my dealer I would only get blue or black cherry. Maybe he only liked the car in red? It's not like there is an over abunance of colors for the Z ( unless you want a shade of gray).

seriously is miata doors that great? I would be piss for a few days but if the neighbor was a fine female it would be another story :tiphat:

His post was immature and ridiculous, much like you getting "worried" that your boss migth get a Z that is better than yours. I'll repeat what I said earlier, imo, BOTH of you need to grow up and gain some perspective as to what's worth worrying about in life.

Oh, and as for screaming into my pillow about my problems, I'm doing just fine thank you, my only regret is wasting my time even posting in this thread.

Jeffblue 10-14-2010 06:57 PM

i say OP should do some mods if it bothers him that much. The irony is that we go on some internet forum and SEEK OUT other people with the same car, but some people are annoying if someone from their neighborhood gets one? i'd be happy if a neighbor got one or if a friend of mine got one. if you hate that people have the same car as you then why would you come on this forum site or go to a Z meet?

Someone getting the same car as you isnt a big deal. I could definitely understand if your neighbor got all the same mods as you and that bothered you. But otherwise, its really not that big of a deal. if you just totalled your Z or something and then he bought the exact model you had and rubs it in your face, yes, thats rude, otherwise, not.

tjlazer 10-14-2010 06:57 PM

I seriously do not see what the problem is about neighbors or bosses getting a 370Z. The more the merrier I say! If they get the same color as you? MOD and be different...

SoCal 370Z 10-14-2010 07:07 PM

This situation has opportunity written all over it:
  • You're speeding and make haste to your garage. When the officer arrives, you point at your neighbor.
  • Wife asks where you've been, and you answer, "At work." You get your other neighbors to verify they saw you leave when you were really at home.
  • It could be worse, Phelan could be your neighbor bearing pillows and JDM parts.

umm you are mad that another human being has the same car as you???? serious? If it really bothers you that much and you need to be all unique -buy some wheels / get some body work done and make him all jealous :)

I will say this however - if you grew that jealous of your boss / neighbor / whatever for potentially getting the same car as you - how jealous are you of all the other people here w/ better or equal Zs? Makes me think that if we all met in real life - most of us would be hating on each others cars lol...

I honestly say - the more the merrier - more Zs out there means more R&D / means cheaper parts and better service. And please remember - its starting to get to the point where college kids can start buying 370z's used - so you will see a lot more Zs around.

It bothered you enough to post your "similar" feelings about your boss thinking about getting a nicer Z than yours, so I infered that it must have bothered you a least a little bit. I'm not judging you at all, besides, even if I was, I'm just some random dude on the internet, why should you give a sh!t what I think about you?

I am truly sorry to hear about your dad, I hope he pulls through. My father went thru cancer last year and I can emphathize with that.

And I have no idea what you're refering to with the "tampon" comment...nor do I want to. :ughdance:

This forum is just like a mircocosym of the real world, where most people don't get along, there's selfish self absorbed bastards everywhere and there's a bunch of insecure douchebags who worry too much about what their neighbor is/isn't driving. There's also some good helpful people thrown in the mix too. Deal with it, we can't all hold hands and sing songs around the campfire together, it's not human nature.

I do agree.
But I don't think we're trying to say that we're jealous..just shocked that someone so close to us would " steal our thunder." All in all, it doesn't really matter that much to ME. I do enjoy looking at all the Z's on our forum and saying "Daym, i wih mine looked like that haha...."
Just another topic that people blow out of proportion and mix up the words, is all

I never said the 40th is better than mine..that'd be your opinion, not mine. Think I explained myself enough to not have to ramble on and on, it's not necessary. This conversation on my part is done. Guess I won't put in my stories next time....I'll just read all the negatives others have to say about other peoples threads

You need to learn to have thick skin if you intend to post on a forum. Nobody cares how other people feel on the internet and the sooner you realize, the better. You DO set yourself up for a lot of stuff though...just sayin!
