Cool What are your unique 370Z experiences?

What I mean is, what are some things that have happened to you since you got your Z, that wouldn't be possible if you didn't have it. It could be positive or negative.

It have something to do with he performance of the car or anything else.

Whether it be a person that looked at you a certain way (because of the Z) or other cars around OR small details about the car that just made you say, "W-Wow... Well ain't that something..."

I've mentioned this in another thread but I've had people in another car take pictures of me in the car while driving in a busy interstate.

Yeah, man, that's actually the thread that gave me this idea. LOL, if I was in your shoes, that would be the time you have to put the pedal to the metal.

A couple kids in an SRT-4 did that to me the week I got the car, was kind of scary.

For me though, it has to be a time when I was driving to work, which takes me right over the Bay Bridge into the city, I had a group of guys on sport bikes (CBR's Duc's SV's etc...) and the two lead guys pulled along side me a slowed down to give me a thumbs up, and it became all the guys in their group were about surrounding me on the middle of the bridge to look at my car.

A side note, I think this car is a hit with sport bike riders...

This car definitely turns heads. This is my first Z, and it gets way more looks than my M3 did.

I have not bought mine yet, but was test driving one during lunch (blue). The moment I got up onto the freeway and got over one lane, any car that was in eye sight got to the lane next to me to see the car and the car in front of me moved out of the way and nodded for me to go. I have never had that happen when driving in a car...but it felt...well, great.

1. A random guy stops his suv in front of my house. Gets out of his suv. Takes pictures of my Z. Then, drive away.

2. Numerous people in their car (on highway) pointing to the Z as I was passing them (or they were passing me).

3. A RN at a Doctor office loved the Z so much, she made an announcement in the waiting area looking for the owner and I had to show her the car.

4. At least 10 civics did ricer fly by as I was driving on public roads following strict break-in procedure

5. 3 Young girls(18-25 years) and a guy was crossing the street as I stopped at the light. Guy gave me while the girls approved the Z by smiling and pointing to it.

MY most unique experience is getting tailed by a black 350Z when I went to the bank. He backed into the spot next to mine and introduced himself as "Officer" and really freaked me out lol. Turns out he's in the local Z club here and just wanted to invite me to it. It was kind of surreal seeing my black 370 next to his black 350. The people in bank were all looking out of the huge glass doors at us, haha.

Ended up with my red 370 next to a red 350 on the way down the I-5 the other morning. The pair of Z's drew a lot of stares.

I have had numerous people who have given me the thumbs up.

I had one guy follow me down the road and into the gas station to tell me that my car is "one bad *** car" and that "it must be fast as $hit". I just smiled and said, "Yup"

Another guy was basically circling me at 70mph geting the full view. I was on the phone, otherwise I would have dusted him.

I have had numerous people take off from the stop lights wanting to race.

I have never had a car that has drawn so much attention. The only way I can describe it is that I now know what it's like to have very large breasts with everyone staring at them. I told my wife that if she wants to know what it feels like she should take the car for a spin. (I did actually say that and I have been married for 15 years..set the expectations very low boys and then you might have a chance of exceeding them.)

The only annoying thing that's happened several times is that if I decide to use my turn signal, people will close the gap and not let me in. Especially the BMW driven by guys who think they're cool and by SUV's driven by petite young women.
