We come up to a turn in the road and I guess he doesn't like the speed I am going so he proceeds switch to the left lane and overtake me. At this point I am going 45-50mph and he blows by me at what must be 60+ and all of a sudden I hear his tires break loose. Dumb kid goes into a slide and over corrects, he ends up slamming over the curb and right into the metal guard rail.

I just :facepalm: and continue on my way. I had no intentions of wasting my time and stopping to help a moron that treats public roads as a race track. :shakes head:

I promply moved my car over a few spots while he gave me a dirty look :(
How do you park in the middle of 4 spots without taking up 2 spots? Or perhaps you meant you had 2 spots on each side. Or...

this is all just a conspiracy and you're working with the Federal Government and will soon be letting aliens take over the world. :ugh2:

I have my car up in Michigan right now... where you are lucky to see an import once a week unless its a BMW. I get a lot of looks. Most i think are people just being like "what the hell is that" cause they've probably never even heard of Nissan :p

However, i pass by at least 50+ Mustangs a day and most of them give me the evil eye....

Oh and the other day i had a guy with one of those "Out of a job yet? Keep buying foreign" stickers on his car come flying up to the parking space next to me. Sat there till i got out of my car and then drove off a few isles down to park.... i think he just wanted me to see his sticker.

I find that funny since a lot of Japanese manufacturers actually have factories here where they employ U.S. workers while American manufacturers have factories in Canada... :roflpuke2:

Yeah once again once wats with the mustangs man...maybe the Z and pony had a long rivalry back in the day (and they still do :icon17:)....:rolleyes:

fncrow 08-24-2011 05:06 PM
I think they are just upset that they have the same car as everyone else on the road and that we have something different and more exotic/sexy looking. :p

:icon17: i do agree every other car this day is a mustang (where i live especially), but most mustang owners could probably afford/buy a Z, they just decided not too. :p :rofl2:

techumper 08-24-2011 05:57 PM
damn haven't had anything like that around my area... just get a lot of people staring or pulling up RIGHT next to me at a light (driver to driver window) its a little annoying after a bit. Also SUV's tailgating me while driving or waiting to turn, I think they are trying to get me blinded by their lights but I have the touring package so their efforts are lost. :)

But I also live in close proximity to a naval base which equals an abundance of sport cars! :tup:

God, I hate hate, HATE! when they do this. I am confident I can stop in time if an emergency situation were to occur but I am also confident the moron behind me won't be able to stop in the same amount of distance/time as my Z can. :shakes head:

mjg 08-24-2011 06:31 PM
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

nmjaxx9 08-24-2011 06:40 PM
Yeah dam old women :roflpuke2:

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.

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.

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.

Because most are busy doing these tasks while driving... Unfortunately some of us have done that at some point too.

I find advanced notice brake checks effective for me and it usually gets aggressive drivers off my bumper. You might get funny stares once in a while.

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.

Somatic, I know how u feel, when I was at work on thursday I was at my desk window just looking out into the parking lot at my Z, when a busted as chevy car comes rolling in rell quick in front of my Z and parks over the line right next to it, I was like im jus waiting for that door to swing open and hit my Z and I swear I would be out there in two secs adn whoop sum behind...:mad: but luckily nothing happened and the young girl who got out was mindful of the car and she didnt hit it although still over the line. But if she did, I wouldnt hit a girl but still. :bowrofl: and there is a crappy parkers thread i rememebr seeing somewhere u should post that pic up there. :tup:

Well today I was working at the Rangers game and when I went to leave I heard a pop and right away I knew what it was, a ******* beer bottle stuck under my front right tire. Im still pissed about it and that was hours ago.

I dont think its punctured but I really considered just waiting out there in the passenger seat to see if any morons looked to check if its still there. :stirthepot:

birdmanx1 08-28-2011 10:24 AM
You are the second member to report that same issue. Not sure why people would take the time and go out of their way to do that. Haters gonna hate!

RN SHARK 01-25-2012 03:12 AM
Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's Southern California, but I don't get any of these 'haters' or feelings of jealousy from other drivers. I mean, really, we drive a Z. It's an introductory sports car. I see more 911 Turbos and GT3s than Z's. Why would somebody hate on a 35K car? Don't get me wrong, I love my car, but people here are too into themselves to care that I have a Z.

bigsix 01-25-2012 04:09 AM
I think we should remember: it takes balls to drive a car like the 370z. The car doesn't care what other people think of it. Neither should you.

Of course it's human nature to desire what you don't or can't have. Respect is a positive result, jealousy or hatred is a negative result.

Old thread but yeah we established the fact that some areas dont get the same hate, attitude, and etc in the Z.

Agreed.

Is there a universal Z sign for approval?

I ask because I was on the interstate the other day when heavily tinted & stickered 350Z caught up with me. They slowed down when he got next to me and gave me two quick revs (nice exhaust) then continued on his/her way at their original speed. I couldn't see if they were waving, thumbs-up, or giving me the finger because of the limo tint.:roflpuke2:

I took it as a "nice Z" gesture. :tiphat:

What do you think? :icon17:

I've only had my Z for two weeks, but the stare-downs at lights are ridiculous. As bad as it was when I had my WRX. I have zero interest in racing, let alone street racing. I think every 18-24 year old in a Musamaro assumes that we're lined up for a drag race. :bowrofl:
