Kinda related.....

Our Daily driver is a Nissan Cube.. The Z is a weekend/fun car for me..

I've noticed driving on the highway if I come up on someone going slow in the left lane, if I'm driving the Z, 9 times out of 10, they will move over for me.. like they know its a sports car and seem to respect that I am going to pass them either way..

But if I'm driving the Cube, fk that.. I couldn't get someone to move over if my life depended on it.. And I'm not one of those tail-gating, lights flashing ******** either. Just a slight move over to the left shoulder to give them a hint that I'm back there..

Just started noticing that and its pretty funny..

/cool story bro..

They really don't know what kind of car we have in Columbia, South Cackalacky (SC). We have been called out for driving a porsche as well (Not into volkswagens on steroids.) Heck, we had two people here think our old sweet aztec red z32 tt was a ferrari. So, we might as well act like we are balling here. A dollar LOOKS like it goes a long way here. :icon14:

The night I was driving home after the purchase, a Mustang pulled along side me on the I'state and slowed down to parallel me. Then speeded up and slowed down again to drop back beside me. That's the only time anyone has ever acted that way and the car is almost 9 months old now.

I am, however, up to about 15 "Dude ! COOL CAR!" comments now and even one person in the parking lot photographing it. Three of those have been females at red lights that pull up beside me raving about the car. Of course, then they see I'm an old fart...:roflpuke2:

How old is an old fart? Some think 40 is pretty old. Now, if you are talking 70, then yeah, that is pretty old. :inoutroflpuke:

Maybe tint your windows pretty dark. It may be worth the money for all the enjoyment you will get out of it.

The bad habit that us asians have is staring. We just tend to stare without knowing. lol.

I drive the red nismo in Columbia SC! haha.
BTW Mexican ricers like the cars and try to race it with their fart cannons and c-130 spoilers. I look at them like some idiot. I don't care if they're reving or not, its stupid as hell.

I agree, even though I am tempted, and my wife tells me, “Don’t you dare,” which makes me wanna do it even more, I let them go do their thing while I know what I can do. Just getting the satisfaction of letting them speed off while I don’t even bother is fun. Then, in the back of my mind I am hoping there is a po-po somewhere watching. If a mustang does that or another reputable car, I have a very hard time with the temptation. My wife doesn’t really know what cars temps me, she just assumes all of them do. I need a challenge.

I can’t wait until we get our light system going on our targa. I know this is going to happen. Night time, secondary road, maybe late at night, I’m going to get a car that will show off and pass me going way over the speed limit. I’ll count to 10 and turn on the blue strobes and scare the poo out of them. Yes, I know it is illegal, but so would be racing. The lights are less dangerous of the two. :stirthepot:
