Annoying things people do, JUST because you are in a Z!

ShinyBlueZ

I get a LOT of minivans and pickups checking out my car at red lights.. then they floor it and peel out when it turns green, like "see? my dodge caravan is every bit as fast as your car."

but the craziest thing is that lately.. in the last month or 2.. I get 'a lot' of ALTIMAS and SENTRAS staring me down then doing their best to take off on me at red lights. what kinda retardation is that? it's the SAME BRAND but like 2/3/4 models lower!

it's like if I revved my car like I was fast and furious beside a GTR.. how do you not expect to just get laughed at?

same thing happens to me, Minivans peeling out

even worse is the one's in the versa hatchbacks, i dont know what it is but they always seem really ticked off that they are driving the versa when they pass me while they are flooring it.

In the last 24 hours I've had 3 douch encounters...
1st, new BMW 3 series, (not M3) rush hour traffic last night, drops a gear or 2 and punches it next to me. An M3 would never do that but the 3xx seem to have something to prove to themselves since they know they're slower. Didn't do anything , just thinking WTF. Actually he was the least annoying of the bunch.
2nd, nice turn coming onto a 45mph road. I like taking the turn at 45, gives me a little boost like a shot of espresso when it's all clear. This beo^#h in a minivan pulls decides to pull out of the McDonalds parking lot just as I'm coming out of the corner. WTF, have to slam on the brakes and nearly come to a stop waiting for her to make an illegal left turn.
3rd, getting onto the highway, about 50 feet before the ramp in a 35 zone, a new v6 camery had to jump in front of me. This is a nicely banked highway on-ramp. Man that ramp is fun when noone's in front of you. So, I have to cruise about 15mph slower than I would of and just putt around the ramp. Then he punches it when it's straight.

This car is a straight up magnet for people trying to race me. Its crazy i almost wish i had more blind spots so i didnt have to see these fools trying to get next to you or past you.

from the time I made this thread to now I have realized that the annoying people have become and less and less apparent. The compliments for my Z keep pouring in though, and those outweigh all the weird behaviors on the road. But i see the weird behaviors are a compliment as well, just in an unorthodox way.

oh wait I TOTALLY forgot the MOST annoying thing about my Z!!! I should have had this damn car when I was 16 instead of 30.

almost EVERY time I pull into a coffee shop or mall.. and at red lights, medium-sized groups of giggly slutty girls tell me how sexy or 'hawt' my car is.. so I'm all like SCORE, WHORES!

but then it's like:

"hold up so.. how old are you ladies?"

"16/17."

"k cool.. thanks for the props.. I gots to go.."

I get this alot also but for the most part I bought a 370z because I wanted something alot nicer than my 1997 camaro z-28 that I drove for 15 years, still have it mind you. Anyway, I wanted something nicer that handled really well and was sufficiently fast. Thats it, I've had it a little over a month and a half people in rustbuckets get next to me on the highway at about 65 look at me then take off, me I never adjust my throttle I'm simply in cruise mood and ignore them. 90% of them are in cars that it isn't even a race. Red lights, everybody tries to race me at them, well, if the driver is male and under 35 I suppose. Me I'm 42. I find it pretty amusing. Think of all these people that think they smoked a 370z on the highway or left one just standing at a red light. anyway, I did have one guy irk me enough that I did smoke him. This morning going to work an Acura TL got right behind me and tailgated me pretty bad for about 1 mile even though I couldn't go any faster because of traffic, so when traffic breaks he jumps over to right and goes full throttle, I let him get the running start on me and just go by me, I then dump it to 3rd, go full throttle and rapidly pull him back then continue pulling away from pretty badly I might add until I got off it at 95mph then of course 5 seconds later I get the obligatory he comes screaming by me.

I'm starting to feel like its not the other people that do the silly things, its me who thinks they're doing it.

Cut it down because they are jelly. Last night I was sitting minding my business waiting for my girl to get out of the bar and I hear one of them exclaim. "that car is gay." I laughed and yelled out "thanks bro!" and proceeded to drive off.

People definitely do stupid sh!t all the time when I'm driving my Z.
A few nights ago, I was driving home when a slammed riced out pos mazda hatchback came tailing my azz instead of just passing me. Because it was after midnight on a weekday with not many cars on the road, I downshifted and floored it to pull away from the douch bag. With my mods I expected to just easily leave him in the dust. But to my surprise, that pos almost kept up initially. He must have had some fat turbos and/or nitrous.
This is just one example. I get the same from the minivans too! I get guys in their pos tailgating, revving at red lights, doing the screaming pass bys, etc. And its always the pos cars, never those in nice cars.
