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

That's what they call the "rat race". You know, all those rats who think they are racing you and know they are losing, so overcompensate or just plain hate.

That's just another Hater man. It comes with the territory. Just shake the haters off, she's not the last one you'll run into. I ran into more haters at Tom Peacock Nissan when i pulled in for a test drive in a 2012 Acura TL (salesman and possible customers), it was a loaner while my Acura was being serviced. To top it off, they didn't even have a Z for me to test drive that wasn't a roadster (very unprofessional dealership). Long story short, I found the perfect dealership for Z enthusiast here in Houston, Baker Jackson North. I'm just waiting for Nissan to release the pre- order list for the 2012 model, there's a shortage of Z's here in Houston, a bunch of roadsters available though.

You know the funny thing is the exact same thing happened to me, I went to a dealership in CT (Harte Nissan) and all they had for me to test drive was a roadster as well, I guess the shortage of vehicles because of the tsunami in Japan was to blame, but that was one of the main Nissan dealerships in CT, if they didn't have them I don't know who would. That dealership also told me it might be about 3 to 4 months till we get any coupes. So I contacted dealerships outside CT, and then I found one in Philly and NJ. Finally went with the one in NJ (since it was the color i wanted, red) went down on a Monday put in a deposit and picked it up the following Saturday. The people there were really nice, Classic Nissan in NJ, would recommend them to anyone around the NJ, NY, CT area.

I forgot to add in my post that Tom Peacock Nissan didn't offer a roadster for a test drive, I wound up test driving a test driving a base model at Baker Jackson North. I was very impressed with Baker Jackson North, they were very professional. To be honest, i had a problem with Tom Peacock back in 1997 when i had a 1987 nissan Maxima at the time (needed injectors replaced under TSB), had to get approved through corporate two weeks later, sure enough, none of the service managers or advisors were around when i was called by corporate to pick the up the Maxima from Tom Peacock . To be honest, i just went there because they were down the street from the Acura dealer i've been going to since 2001. I always told my wife i would end up buying my first Z from Baker Jackson.

I'm new to the Houston area, and have been amazed at the lack of Z inventory, not only in the Houston area, but Dallas and San Antonio as well. So far, I've had no luck locating a Silver Touring 7 AT with Sport and Nav.

While one local dealer had one listed on their web site, the car had been sold. To date, I've actually found only one car so-equipped, but didn't like the color. I'm just going to wait for the spring.

Can you recommend an Acura dealer for service? My wife has an MDX.

Tauruszguy · 08-13-2011, 10:58 PM

Ok Im glad I'm not the only one! I thought I was just being paranoid because when I drive my Z I notice so much more bs driving going on. All kinds of nonsense! When I drive my Mini Cooper to work it always seems to be a much more pleasant drive.... all smiles and sunshine around me lol. I drive the Z and its madness and chaos. The WORST is the people that purposely flick their cigarettes out at my car and give you that Eff U look. This thread just confirms my suspicions. I wonder if I put stripes and a Union Jack on the Z if things would change? LOL Now there's a photoshop challenge!

Z_ealot · 08-14-2011, 12:59 AM

i know how everyone here feels exactly now as i awoke yesterday morning to find that someone had actually spit on the driver side window and i've only had the car for a week now. I mean who the hell spits on someone elses car nowadays really?

yeah it was spit, little bubbles in it and all...at first i thought it was a big water droplet, but when i looked closer sure enough, someone had decided that they were going to turn back into being a 3 year old and spit on my car

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!

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.

Well, speaking for myself, I do not think that how I drive is the main issue here. I follow the speed limits and traffic laws about 97% of the time. Which means I try my best to follow the speed limit, I make sure I indicate when im merging or switching lanes, I dont tailgate, (well not purposely anyways), but I do admit I speed up on the freeway sometimes, on the weekends when im out, or just with other friends we like to go for a drive or whatever, so yeah im in a happy medium between driving too fast/aggressive and too slow/cautious, yet there seems to be some person who decides they have to make a fool of themselves, why? I don't know it could be a combination of many of the factors already discussed, but I doubt its because of my driving habits.

I had this happen to me when my car was brand new... but I'll take some of the blame because it happened at the nascar race in Michigan right outside of Detroit.... probably not the smartest idea on my part. lol
