I was tres bored at work... :lol:

The first time I drove one it completely changed my mind about the car. I thought 230rwtq would feel slow and lack responsiveness under 4K compared to the V8's I was used to. I was surprised that it felt nothing of the sort, even hitting it from a low roll in first.

people hand me $20 bills

I have gotten loads of looks and compliments. Thumbs up. I've also won two show & shine events with the Z.

(wouldn't have gotten any of that without the Z)

1. A lot of people on the highway slow down to look

2. I wash my car daily (seriously). An attendant at the wash asked me if it was my first car for some reason... I'm 31 and No, it's like my 15th. The only difference is the other 13 cars sucked ***. The reason I say 13 is because one of them was a '72 240z which started my love.

3. A lot of people with cars that are beat up REALLY want to race for some reason. I don't bother. I'm not 16-18 anymore. I just don't care to beat my car up.

Wow, you're gonna wear the paint away. And, are you married or have a girlfriend? If so, you have a very understanding mate.

My GF (soon to be wife) doesn't really care what I do to my car. We pay for our stuff separate but pay for the stuff we share 50/50. I suppose that's why she doesn't care.

Car washes in Michigan are pretty cheap. I pay 40 dollars for an unlimited package per month. The Carwash is across the street from where I work so it's not out of the way. I just like to keep the road grime and salt off my car.

I had a guy in a truck stare down my car and he then proceeded to lick his lips.. It was a little creepy...

He must be breaking in his Cayman or thinking what a nice looking Sentra.

And not even 1 of the girls flash for you?

1. A guy in a Prius wanted to race me.

2. I waved to 350Zs, but not one waved me back, so i stopped waving to them. Now they must think i'm a snob in a 370z.

3. I have never seen another 370Z while i'm driving one, but i've seen a lot of Z while i'm driving my DD.

4. people at gas stations stare at my Z. few came and talked to me.

5. 370Z look awesome in motion on the freeway.

6. When we see a Porsche 911, my wife said, "I like your Z's butt better. It's nicer than that car."

You sure he was looking at the car?

Sounds like a scene from Deliverance.

my indian neighbor down the street invited himself into my cave while i was working on the Z... looked at my silver 370Z and looked at my silver G35C and said 'why you have the 2 exact same car, why?'

i kicked him out of my garage.
