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

freking8 · 08-11-2011, 08:08 PM

I've seen the same behavior too...I had one moron in an econobox cut in front of me and then speeding off using a highway exit lane. Unfortunately for him, there was a cop not too far behind and he got pulled over lol

sonic370 · 08-11-2011, 08:26 PM

IV'e had a couple a holes try and mess with me. The worst or maybe the funniest was this guy pulled up along beside me on interstate. i was doing about 70-75 and he's driving this piece of crap ford f150 like a 1975 model revs his engine up and wants to jack with me. i just laughed at him and looked away.

but to be honest i think we all have a little bit of an ego. which could be one of the many reasons we bought a Z. which screams hey look at me.............

I had a friend in high school who lived in East Baltimore, in a not-so-nice neighborhood. His neighbor had an NRA sticker on their car and kept empty ammunition boxes in the back seat. That car was never touched.

The best way to keep these morons driving crappy cars from messing with you is drive faster than them. They'll never catch you.

I've never had a lot of what has been mentioned happen. Mostly because I think people have less respect or are less willing to talk to me once they realize a young looking guy is driving. 50% of the time, older people give me the "look at that spoiled brat" type stare. I am extremely lucky and privileged to have parents that helped me buy it (did a half/half deal) but I never take it for granted.

Young women love it though, I cruise with my brother by the beach in Newport and I have got a number of thumbs up from chicks. My favorite was this pretty girl in a semi-riced Civic; I did a little WOT pull and passed her on the highway and once we both stopped at a light in town, she kept looking and smiling. I waved and she said that was awesome, it made my night for sure!

I am in the chicago area and have seen nothing but jealous looks so far. Kinda cool because driving a sport bike before provided very mixed looks

BeachZTT · 08-12-2011, 12:48 PM

I admit it.... I have. To pick up a tool that I needed or couldn't find during a mod.

TheGreatOne · 08-12-2011, 01:00 PM

couple days back I had the shopping cart guys at the IGA (grocery store) compliment me and ask me to do a burn out and leave skid marks in the parking lot....

lol, it was late but i said no.... but I gave them a slight peel out so they could hear the exhaust..saw the grins on their faces in my rear view...i like that stuff.

most people are respectful...and notice me. I will say one thing about the guy commenting he was Asian, I think I get even more looks in the Z cause i'm black lol.

I mean, I've seen this other black dude driving a sick Porsche GT3 and another driving a Austin Martin Vantage around my area but most others are driving old Altima's or G20 sedans with heavy tint and those gold crown air fresheners on the dash lmao

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?

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?

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.....

OP, I know what you mean and all, as I have had this happen as well. But in your case with the lady giving you the finger, are you sure you didn't accidentally cut her off, or tail gate her, or pass her, etc... or do anything that would warrant her reaction? My point is, she still should not have reacted that way, but I'm saying it may have been possible that you accidentally (not INTENTIONALLY) did something to her that would have made her react that way.

Reason why I say this is some people are just weird that way...... they see you making a perfectly legal lane merge or a legal pass on a 2 lane road, and they get all huffy...

Yeah well it was on a two lane road, she was behind me and I was going as per the speed limit, she was tailgating me, then I slowed down for the red light and she just floored it and cut into the other lane in next to me, while we were both waiting for the green she stood there looked at my car, ( i dont even think she looked at me) and gave me the finger I was like uhh?

Then she gave me the disgust look and floored it when it turned green, I went about my way, letting her go ( I met her at the next light but she didnt even look) soo yeah idk i did just notice her rust bucket station wagon tho
