How are people reacting...
I'm just your average if there is such a thing Z lover. I have always loved the Z every since those black 300 ZX commercials that came on Monday night football where I was more excited about them then the game. I have had a used 300 twin turbo and was blessed to be able to purchase a new 09 red 370 which I love. I'm have worked hard to get it and wish I could do many of the mods that I seen some of the member here are doing but right now I do what I can do... I try very hard to take good care of it...
My question is how are people on the street reacting to the car. I notice that some people seem to be bothered by the car. I mean I'm driving on the interstate and I may pass a mini van. The next thing I know...they are going by me. The same in regular traffic...its like they are saying, "I bet that guy thinks he is all that in that 370Z..how dare he pass me!" It seems to happen alot. And I have not even said anything about the kids who always want to race.... I have read that many people say they get a lot of positive attention and looks. I get some but I the other as well.... There are not many 370Z in my area.... Are you getting those kind of reactions on the road? |

He may have not had the same opportunities as the next man but its what you do with what you've got... example: It's like you come onto this planet with a crayon box. Now you may get the 8 pack, you may get the 16 pack but it's all in what you do with the crayons - the colors - that you're given. I mean give me a burnt piece of stick and I can create a charcoal Picasso Don't hate the Player... Hate the game |

I get people stopping and talking to me all the time since iver owned the car...when i had my Audi, people just went in the opposite direction, the Z is a car that goes back in time, and this Z is very similar to the 240's of yesteryear just as beautiful. on my road there are a couple Datsun's and whatnot mostly owned by a crowd in there late 30's - 50's and that is mostly the general range of people that i have walk up to me. They all ask for rides too...but thats not going to happen at least until i know them well enough to be comfortable...

Yup i get it all the time.
I usually look on driver's side mirror and know that the car behind me is checking out my Z. I slow down and let them pass but I don't turn my head to look at them, but I know that they're checking me out. But somehow i know when a chick is checking out my Z. I turn my head suddenly, make eye contact with her, and smile. She gets caught off-guard and is like doesn't know what to do. I do get a lot of punk-azz mustangs and civics that try to engage me in a race. They always rev their engine at the red lights. i don't know why, maybe they're jealous. |
