Seems like every gas station in Colorado has some hobo always asking for spare change or a dollar or two....when I say no...they say you really can't spare anything stupid rich guy...I say no...and say no buddy you've got it all wrong.....smarts is what made me afford this car buddy and you're the stupid hobo for asking.

I had a hobo do that to me, but I said "where do you think all my money went? do you have any pointers?"

Edit* Also on topic, people accuse me of driving my daddy's car, I'm 26, I thought I was beyond this. This has happened more than once, the last guy asked me what I did for a living and for shock value(and because I was rather annoyed) I told him I was in the adult entertainment industry. He made a rather funny face.

I'm in Iowa, a ton of people drive trucks, they don't really understand that the $40k they spent on their truck could be used to buy something fun.

Did he seem like he was all like "'Merica, F*ck Yeah!"?
He was prolly hatin' on your Jap car thinkin' "she shoulda got a Mustang."

:tup: I was confused. It wasn't a mean look or "'Merica, F*ck Yeah!".
It wasn't even a full SMH. just kind of a slight smirkish head shake.
That's why I said Good Morning, thought maybe he was just tired or something. LOL

yesterday a Range Rover filled with 5-6 college age kids matched speeds with me and practically begged for me to take off... so I did :driving:

Haboob 06-01-2013 04:31 PM

Had three people today cut me off or damn near do it.

One guy was literally about a foot off my bumper when he came over. I of course laid on the horn and didn't even get as much as a wave or apology.


Fkn old people sometimes. :shakes head:

We have to many idiot drivers in Miami playing with the radio, on the cell phone, talking to the passenger while looking at them, or scratching there bawls so I feel the need much like motorcyclists to be seen and heard at all times or else I probably would be victimized more often on the road.

What does this mean? Well, my driving style is a little more aggressive. I keep it in S mode so that everyone hears me when I shift. When douche bigalows try to tail gate I rev and inch forward to get them off my tail. I will even go 5 mph until they pass by or get off my rear end. So far I have had 0 accidents 19 years of driving and these retards are really trying hard!

I have gotten the random finger...the "your car is to loud"...the stair down...etc. What have I learned...stay as far away from traffic even if it means speeding. I would rather a ticket then an accident. The irony...A cop saw me do this once and pulled me over. At first he gave me some attitude and asked me why I was going so fast. I proceeded to inform the officer that the people in front of me were unnecessarily braking when no one was in front of them because they felt the need to watch the road work on the unrelated side of the street and therefore decided I should go around. He then said: does that make what you did right (again attitude)? I replied by telling him I was not denying guilt what so ever only that I was attempting to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. His response was "I know you have a fast car just slow it down a bit...have a nice day". I guess he understood.

This morning I was quietly cruising along I-75 towards Valdosta then this lady about 50's driving a corolla started tailgating me. I tried to speed off and move to the right lane to let her pass but she did follow me to the right lane then tailgaited me again....what the F! seriously a corolla is trying to egg me for a race?
Did not bite the ploy as she wanted me to speed off and wishfully get caught and eventually get a ticket. I just thought that was her intentions.
What's wrong with this people?:shakes head:

Some people just wanna be in the front no matter what. And some people just want to be up your A**. I believe it is a fetish thing. No sure why. But! As long as you either ignore them or handle them smartly, all is well. I personally live by my sig. And that is exactly how I drive. Unfortunately, the latter is more the norm due to Virginia Beach drivers. :ugh2:

Just do what I do when I get an ugly or smart azz remark while driving. I fishtail them Into the nearest intersection. By the way, I'm in search for a new front bumper. Any offers? ;)

Typically, teenagers in their sedans fitted with rims will mistake my 1st-2nd revs for wanting to race.

white_wolf 06-02-2013 01:44 PM

Oahu's freeways are "hilly" sometimes, and I often put my car into neutral to coast. I have SRM and exhaust, so... when I go from 6th to N, my car blips the throttle kinda loud.

I forget my car does ^that sometimes, and I will put my car in N right next to another car at times... sometimes I get the "O_o!? da f*q?" look from drivers lol. Other times I get :shakes head:, and once in a great while :tiphat:.

Thank God Hawaii drivers are pretty chill... no one has thrown agression my way *knock on wood*

Lol! You'll need to get it painted but yeah, still at the body shop collecting dust now. ;)

7speed 06-12-2013 07:52 PM

Getting mail at my complex someone asked hey did you get the fenders aftermarket or does it come like that. Guess after 4 yrs he never seen a 370 before , he was like what model is that a new model. Haha it was all good but at same
time I had to make sure he was being serious and not trying to jack me.

Well... once mods start it IS expensive. But I guess it is all relative.

I finally realized that i want everyone to enjoy their Z, just because there are a few issues with mine doesnt mean everyone else has to hear my crap. Also i dont know what it is maybe the engine is breaking in but the car is gaining some better mpg and a slight smoother rpm, typical VQ stlye.

Tired of seeing us complain about other driver's behaviors. This thread needs some self reflection.

Annoying things we do JUST because we drive a Z

I've done some annoying things because I drive a Z. I zip through traffic because the car feels so nimble, I take corners a little more spirited than most. I use srm and downshift at every chance I get under a tunnel or a bridge because it sounds loud and sweet. Surely that would be annoying for some other drivers.

Also, has not happened to me but we've got forum members getting passive aggressive nasty grams posted on their windshield complaining about their driving.

That's where I'm coming from......but I digress. Did not mean to derail. Back on topic I guess.

San Antonio is filled with ricers. I like pulling up next to them and listening to them rev their engines and revving back. Putting on my sunglasses and lighting a smoke up and doing my best to look like a badass :rofl2:

Then when the light turns green I just sit there and watch them race off. I'm sure there are dozens of people around town who are bragging how they "destroyed a black Z off the line" lol.

///PureSwank 06-13-2013 11:34 AM

I like to find corvette, audis, mistangs, pretty much anything and just fuckin fly by them. Then wait to see if they want to catch up. And if they bite and catch up I just exit the nearest ramp in hopes of not getting crushed. But if they decide to keep cruising about their way then I'm a bad ***.

I try not to look like a douche driver... sure I'll downshift and gun it past someone whose been sitting in the left hand lane at 5 under the speed limit. But other than that, I just drive fast. Even when I drove a Nissan Sentra 5+ years ago, I floored that beast everywhere. What I love about the Z is it's plenty fast for DD and doesn't even have to be pushed to go fast :driving:

///PureSwank 06-13-2013 12:32 PM

If a sports car os behind me at a stop light I rev the car to redline while I'm in first with the clutch all the way in. Then smoke out and when it turns green I automatically turn left into the nearest parking lot so I can have the last word.

I launch my Z at every red light. Even if I have to stop again one block down.

Let's the people around me know who's boss

THIS
thread doesn't need that sort of self-reflection since it's about other people, but you're certainly welcome to start a new one for people to confess to their own ricer behaviour. :stirthepot:

I was joking. I'm typically in the right lane doing the same thing. I find the faster the car is....the slower I drive it (on the street). :tup:
