Is it Just Me or What?

Obviously the 350 owner was not a true car guy. True car guys like talking to other car guys. Even if their car is not your preference, you say "nice (fill in the blank)" or "how do you like your (fill in the blank)" and they say "thanks" or "I like it" at the very LEAST.

I interacted with only one 350 owner - pulled up next to me at a light. We both did the "nice car" with thumbs up at the same time.

And he looks at me and says thanks me too. and that was it. not kiss my xxs
or anything else. am i making to much of this? there must be some friendly z drivers somewhere. this forum is proof there out there...........

When I had my Z I pulled up to a pump right behind a silver NISMO 350. I said "nice car" to the guy and he said, "whatever" and turned away. Oh well.

then why buy a Z?

Because they like it? If that's your argument then why buy ANY vehicle? Why not walk or take public transportation

On my first post i wasn't trying to stir anything up. It was an observation from
me that at least in my experince in my area fellow z owners to be honest can
be arrogant.......... but i'm a big boy i can deal with it...........

but you would think when two z owners cross paths they would have something to comment on..........

i guess thats why i find this forum enjoyable everyones pretty cool about everything....... coming over from the 350 forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
