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

Cmike2780 · 08-11-2011, 11:21 AM

I think it has less to do with our cars and more to do with sh*tty drivers in general.

a lot of this talk reminds me of pretty girls who think every girl hates them because they aren't as pretty, but in reality no one cares....

That being said. i had 2 maximas try to race me on 2 consecutive nights on the same road. I just kept cruising at like 70 mph. I really don't like when people try to instigate a race because it makes me look like i'm doing something wrong. The second night, after tailgating me and pulling next to me for a while, the guy sped off and turned on his flashers as if to say 'i won.' I hadn't even turned off cruise control

Probably the smartest post in this thread. Some of the hottest girls are the ones who don't realize it, or just plain don't give a sh*t.

How do most of you guys drive your Zs? Drive too fast/aggressive, and people think you're a self-righteous douche. Drive obnoxiously slow, and people will think you're... well, a self-righteous douche LOL!

Maybe you bought the car for its performance, so it would be a shame to cruise around just doing the speed limit? Maybe you don't want to waste your hard earned money by putting your car at risk with spirited driving?

We all make assumptions. I don't doubt that 'haters' exist out there. Me? I drive pretty beat looking cars, but I take reasonably good care of them. If I spot a Z, I get a little excited since I think it's a gorgeous car and still a pretty rare sight, even here in SoCal.

From some of these replies, I know a lot of you guys would get 'rubbed' the wrong way if I followed (not tailgated) you for a bit, or heaven forbid, park next to you, because I admired your car!

Actually, this may be the smartest post in the thread. While I do not doubt anyone's story in this thread, the idea that you all drive like little angels is probably a stretch. It only takes one person acting like a fool to bring prejudice on an entire group.

The smallest mis-interpreted action can generate outrageous responses, especially in today's "it's all about me" society. Anyone driving a nice car, especially a heavily modded one, is going to draw attention to themselves, both good and bad.

Would you like to dance?

No? You didn't hear me I said you look fat in those pants.

wheee! · 08-11-2011, 01:19 PM

I think I get it worse than most.... probably cuz my plate says "IMFASTR".... lol

I have Mercedes and Bimmers galore chasing my bumper in traffic and then blasting past as if to prove they are better! I just cruise and smile, knowing the plate pisses off the corvettes and mustang fanboi's while I just cruise along. The plate was supposed to be a joke, as I was trying to get "IMSLOWR" for my Lincoln... would've looked cool parked in the driveway together!

HA that would look funny!

I think they pick on you because your car is the best possible paint color for a Z, but then again I'm biased.

Boarding bandwagon...

I haven't noticed anyone particularly aggressive towards the Z and most give me space. When I had the white Altima, people acted like it was invisible... cutting me off, no blinkers, merging into my lane without warning. And I only put about 30 miles on it! I was happy to be back in the Z!!!

^ so true

I agree with it being the best paint offered on the Z. I don't agree with best possible.

NFSZ86 · 08-11-2011, 01:24 PM

Where I'm located at work I see hondas left and right and they always rev their engines thinking they're going to have a chance but I don't even pay attention since I know the Z is capable of a lot. =))
