I'll probably have to tint my windows and blackout everything, put some chrome 22" spinners to make people think the car belongs to some gangster or mafia member.

Wow that sucks man. I can't believe there are people out there who do this Crap.

Unfortunately cannot drive my z to work because of the parking lot speed bumps. I don't think the car can clear those f'ing things. Besides, being only a mile from home, the car wouldn't even get warmed up.

Yeah I definitely don't see the point of driving to work if you live only a mile away. Unless you're trying to show off that sweet Nismo

I'm in the same boat about distance. But where I work there are so many construction going on, detours, rocks flying from dump trucks and potholes that I just take my "huptie" truck and don't have to worry about it.

im a minority too and the only person that asked me "excuse me is this ur car?"was a cop that pulled me over for not wearing my seatbelt. i work in a warehouse and the supervisor said one day in front of alot of employees , hey this guy gotta be making good money cuz he driving a 370z ,we get paid incentives now everyone thinks im a high production employee ,i took that as a compliment ,

When someone says "nice car" I just smile and say "thanks! I bought it myself".

Yep lots of complements here as well from people I know and total strangers. But at the same time also alot of negative comments from people I thought where my friends, family members and some co-workers. Mostly not to my face, I find out later. The most popular negative comment is Must have a nice mom, or Mommy must have bought it (mom cause my farther past away a few years ago)

I hate people like that. They're just jealous.

Usually compliments come from folks who drive uninteresting cars. I got two compliments this week that broke that rule. One from a BMW Z8 driver, and one from an Astin Martin Vantage V12. both gorgeous cars. I noted their cars first, then they asked if it was my Z parked out there, and complimented it as well.

red6spd · 06-10-2011, 08:56 PM

Yep me to, I mean I understand the car is not the cheapest thing in the world but its also not a M3 or a AMG Benz, as long as you work hard you can have one.

Yeah, but to someone who isn't a car person it looks like a very expensive car. Don't understand why those people can't believe someone just worked hard for it.

Jealous like you said before I guess.

In my country the 370z is a very exclusive car and rarely seen on the road, when I drive around sometimes people roll down their windows all excited and have this droll face, some even yell out "nice car man can I drive it". I also receive compliments from all my friends and co-workers. My parents thinks this is a ferrari or some exotic car, I guess they still don't understand.

Bad part is... there are a lot of haters, jealous kids with no respect for others, I've been hit with rocks twice, once with a half full soda can from the incoming lane, a long black marker pen line and a nasty spit in my wheels while I was in a public parking. And this is my first month of ownership.

I'll probably have to tint my windows and blackout everything, put some chrome 22" spinners to make people think the car belongs to some gangster or mafia member.

I get some of that too...

I hired b1adesofcha0s to protect my car, and have not been bothered since.
