Crap like this happens to me in my neighborhood all the time. I live in a neighborhood made up of "villages" with lots of walking paths, parks and lakes and a little town center.

The neighborhood has elementary, middle and high schools so lots of kids are walking here and there.

On my street there is the entrance to a boardwalk designed to allow the little brats who live on the street to walk through the woods to the school. Of course, fat, lazy housewives all drop off and pick up there kids here instead of actually going to the school itself. Because of that I can barely get to and from my house in the hours this is happening (keep in mind it should not be happening at all)

The speed limit is 25 in the entire neighborhood. I rarely ever exceed it. I usually putt through the neighborhood going about 20.

Even so, I cannot count the number of times some self-important housewife spots my car and comes out in the road (next a row of street-blocking SUV's) and gives me the hand motions while mouthing "slow down" when I am not even speeding. I usually just give them the finger and keep my speed constant. occasionally i turn the music up too.

/\ ha! that's funny. Probably same douchebags that have the "I drive 25 in xxx" bumper stickers. (xxx is our neighborhood).

PS--my wife (juno) met you at our Mobile gas station back when we had our GTR and you were one of the first folks here to have a 370z.

So, howdy neighbor.

Was the girl in high school too? j/k

Seriously though, I've noticed the same thing. Had a neighbor give me "advice" on spending too much $ for sports cars that are not reliable, burn too much gas and are not convenient. I appreciate him looking out for me, after all he's saving the world with his Prius and the fallout of destroying those batteries someday. He told me that at my age (mid-30's) I should settle down and get a 4-seater. I then grabbed my other keys, hopped in my S2000 and asked if I was doing things correctly now (after all...2 roadsters = 4 seats). He just walked away.

Jealousy is a bad emotion. I do not care how nice a car somebody has as long as they are polite.

I didn't tailgate her as to avoid chips. I guess some people just have to make everyone else's life shitty because theirs is too.

drivers like that get to see the beautiful rear end of my Z soon enough

generally I drive alone, staying clear of other traffic

TheGreatOne · 04-19-2011, 11:48 AM

Yup, get it too.

Actually, one of my good friends, we used to both idolize the Z.

I just got married a few months ago, Honeymooned in Hawaii, came back and some how I managed to get the Z which doesn't make sense lol. He was kinda happy for me but I sensed a "WTF" in his voice, now I haven't heard or seen him in 2 months....

You don't see that many here in MTL, so some people may think it costs way more than it does, I'm ok with them thinking that lol

You just need to hang around the Old Port area & around Quebec City

but I agree with you, they are pretty hard to see in MTL.
