My thoughts exactly. I can't stand it either. A couple times on i95 traffic has come to a sudden stop and I just watch the guy behind me barrel down and see his front end nose dive. I'm always watching and gauging, preparing to escape! Sometimes I'll brake a little harder than the guy in front of me to set distance from me and the guy in front of me. That way the guy behind me gets a little early warning. Even though he can probably see right over my car...But of course most idiot drivers are hardly paying attention to ANYTHING.

I've received nothing but compliments since I got my Z 3 weeks ago from young guys, older guys, cute young chicks, almost everyone loves the Z.... Even having people yielding to let me go a head... Have only received "hate" from one category of people -- busted older women. Cutting my *** off (while I'm breaking my car in) tail gating, you name it... It's happened like 5 times already. Go figure, no one loves them, they love no one LOL

I'm seeing allot of 370z owners are Asian? What have I done by buying this car? Joking, but I get compliments all the time.

Really bro?

We're good at math and know what to drive.

I get compliments from all ages. The best one was a dude on his cane giving me a thumbs up and pointing at the car. Most of the issues I get are from a few guys in their Camaro's.

Earlier this summer I was working the weekend shift and my boss was carpooling with me (he lives in the next housing development down from mine). It was about 730 pm and I was just cruising on the interstate on the way home when I had a some douche in a crossfire srt pull up next to me and then proceed to floor it. The thing that amazed me was even if I was provoked into racing him, all three lanes in front of us were packed with cars. He cut me off and then ended up using the median as a pasing lane and kicked up a ton of rocks onto the hood of my car. I was so pissed that my boss had to calm me down. Everytime I see the rock chips on my front bumper/hood it just reminds me of this and pisses me off again.

Living in Koreatown, about 50% of the Z owners here are Asian. A trend that I've personally been seeing is female drivers in a 350z. Even the last 370z I spotted was a female driver! Thought that was cool to share... Oh, and I'm Asian btw. Do I qualify for the fast and the furious?

Idiot drivers in Cadiallic Escalades turn right in front of you even though they see you coming. Then, they stop halfway in your lane and look at you.






Idiots.

Off topic, but related to many posts here about american vs import made. I remember one time and friend of mine rented a Honda Accord while we were at Chicago for a convention. Since both of us were Asian, some dude in a Ford Mustang (new one) shouted "you're in the wrong area, go buy American."

Since my friend works for Honda corporate, he replied back "fucker, this car was made in Marysville, Ohio since the 80s. Your **** still get parts from China and Mexico." Both the mustang driver and I were stunned.

I was cut off yesterday as two lanes merged in a bumper-to-bumper crawl by a woman in a Ford Expedition who was yacking away, both hands flailing, on her cell phone.

No more than 50 feet past the merge, she switched lanes. Dumb azz.
