Careful with the Mustang comments, we have more Mustang fan boys on this forum then Z lovers :stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot:

Anyway I think I know what you are talking about. People tend to drive faster around me almost like there trying to race me in there normal everyday cars. I never got the finger LOL but I have had many dirty looks for no reason at all.

Man, I know exactly what you mena. Something about the Z draws jeleousy and rage and disrepsect. People constantly try and race me off lights, cut me off, you name it. I find it incredible a 30k nissan can draw such negative attention, people are idiots.

WOW... Is it something with Accord drivers maybe? I had one follow me on the Causeway Bridge (24 mile long bridge over water from New Orleans to the North Shore). He was up my A$$ so I sped off, created some distance pretty quickly then slowed down (65mph limit) and went to cruising again. Next I know he was up my BEE-Hind yet again, so I again sped off and created some more distance... this happened about three times till the fourth time I decided ok, have had enough, so I boxed him in with another large vehicle (it is a two lane bridge either direction) so he couldn't go anywhere, and completed the last 8 miles of the bridge going the speed limit... about 3 miles from the end of the bridge, he puts his flashers on... hmmm... by the time I reach the end of the bridge, a Causeway PD unit was staged waiting. The Accord came to almost a stand still and the cop very reluctantly slipped in behind me, now about 50 yds yards behind me... and stayed that way till I got to the first light. Cop's lights go on, I pull over, cop comes up to me and says "we've had some complaints about you speeding and weaving in and out of traffic... I didn't get a violation on you myself, so I'm not gonna write you a ticket, but just be careful"... now how about that? That Accord SOB called me in even though he was being the Jerk... the only thing I could think off is - pure Jealousy... he must have been GREEN with envy... Really? Sorry Dude, and all like him... I work very hard for my money, and this is my reward to myself - what a bunch of losers there are out there...:gtfo2:

Hey Paul - I ha a very similar incident in my G37S on the Causeway a few years back. Dumb-arse tried to merge at the last second getting onto the Bridge on the southshore by jumping the line and couldn't make it past me and ended-up getting stuck behind three other cars.

He raced up to me once on the bridge and started running his mouth. I just opened my sunroof and flipped him off. He dropped back, pulled out his cell phone and waived it at me.

As soon as I passed the first crossover, a cop pulls out and follows me all the way to the draw bridge. Apparently, there was nothing he could pull me over for, so he just pulled into the next crossover.

Between the draw bridge and the end of the Causeway, the douche bag catches up to, pulls along side me and flips me off. I looked at him and just laughed. That really pizzed him off. I followed him all the way up 190 laughing at him as he looked nback in his mirror until I got on I-12.

If the cop had pulled me over, I would have pointed out the jerk as he passed up, and told the cop to go after him.

Glad I don't have to cross that bridge anymore!

Driving fast cars fast provokes some strange behavior in other drivers.

1) Used to go trolling for fast drivers, starting out around 80mph and waiting for some guy to stick with me, then gradually speeding up to see how fast they would go. Once a guy in a maroon Buick went up to 90mph with me for a half-mile, but then backed off. I kicked it up to 100 and went off looking for other fish.

2) Once driving 95mph at night through northern Michigan and noticed some lights far back, but they were very, very slowly gaining. I thought a cop would be gaining faster, so just kept going 95. After many long minutes, a caramel-colored old Pinto pulled along side and slowly on ahead. I caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a young guy in a plaid shirt behind the wheel. I went up to his speed, 97mph, which appeared to be the top speed of his Pinto, and we went on through the cool Michigan night for quite a while. Then my radar detector went off and I honked at the dude and slowed down, and he did too, and we motored by a radar cop at 65mph, and after 30 seconds or so, went back to 97mph. When I slowed for my exit, he flashed his lights, i flashed mine, something of a strange bond in the outlaw love of speed. I often wonder about the kid in the caramel Pinto and wonder if he ever got a better car--or a radar detector. He was the only driver I ever ran across who would drive at or above 90mph for more than a few seconds.

So i have found over the past couple weeks driving the roads are filled with morons. Not only some but now everyone acts like one...especially if you are in a 370z. I have noticed people wave, and give the thumbs up to rev their engine, give the thumbs down, pull up next to you speed off, (but not getting very far because they are driving a camry) or just plain and simple give u the ugly look and give u the finger. I had a lady pull up next to me the other day in her late 40s early 50s prolly, and give me the finger....I dont know why but by the way she zoomed off and looked at my car in disgust I was like uhhh...really? :bowrofl: Are people really that much haters....I find it funny, but then when the cops get in on it its not. One cop decided to follow me down a road then he pulled up next to me, gave the glance then shaked his head...then before the light turned green he floored it ( and went no where) but still managed to leave me at the red light confused. Has anyone else experienced this type of behavior since you have gotten a Z, I mean sheesh I know its a nice car and all....but relax people. Also ESPECIALLY other tuners, or muscle cars act the most annoying...sorry mustang lovers but all u mustang pppl (especially the older ones before 2002ish) always try to "race" me, even when im just cruising on the highway. They intentionally tailgate me and then speed off...like im suppost to chase them? :ugh2::bowrofl: I dont mean to intetnionally show off, I can afford it so I drive it. Never had this problem when I had my T-bird....I wonder what has changed.....:roflpuke2: :driving:

There's a small group of you that understand the Z thing. :p


I was stuck behind an Altima yesterday on an on ramp to an 80mph toll road. This guy was going 40 mph. As soon as I can, I swing over to the left lane to accelerate to speed and go around the guy. As soon as I am passing him by a car length or two, he decides to speed up too and ride next to me, not allowing me to get back over. There are cars in front of both of us but I can tell he is closing in on his faster than me and if I keep my speed, I'll be fine and not give him an opportunity to cut me off. So I shut him out of the lane, cut to the right after passing his blocker and gun it. I just hate that they get so uppity about being passed, especially when trying to merge onto a very fast road. Move it or lose it toots!

The ricer fly by makes me laugh....the family sedan/minivan fly by or tearing off from a light makes me laugh.

It's the idiots in jumbo sized pick up trucks that go flying by that are annoying. The fools with the giant cow balls hanging off their bumper are particularly annoying. I'd never seen anything like that prior to moving to Kansas from Boston.

Must be a gay cowboy thing or something....and gay cowboy business in Kansas must be BOOMING based on how many of them are around.

the ones i hate the most though are BMW drivers, i remembered this one lady yelled at me at a signal light because she didnt like my eclipse(this was before i owned my Z) or something and when i told her to stfu, she started going off about how her old *** bimmer was the **** and i was no one and blah blah blah, i just laughed at her and when the light turned green i speed off leaving her in the dust

needless to say after that experience, i noticed bmw drivers are just douche bags in general, like this morning when this guy in his z3 wouldnt move when the light turned green, i beeped my horn and he flipped me off and waited until it turned yellow to attempt to speed off, he didnt get far and when i pulled up next to him i just started laughing because he looked like a typical neckbeard /v/irgin

i just hope you know all bimmer drivers arent like that... remember its the driver of the car thats a douche, not the car theyre driving...

The prick is in the inside of the BMW.

But don't get me wrong, I don't really find most BMW drivers (that I've seen) to be pricks or anything close to that. Driving in glendale, most of them are friendly. Always traded thumbs up everytime I played cat-mouse with them.
