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

You an I are in the same boat buddy. I actually turn 26 tomorrow.

That's why my windows are tinted at 10%. I rarely run any of my cars hard, I just enjoy building them. Everyone's a critic!

With me, 9/10 times it's been middle aged men in minivans...Apparently if I don't drop my clutch at a red light I'm not going fast enough for them.

I'm sorry I drive my car in a laxed manner when all the cars around me are soccer moms in SUV's and middle aged men in minivans.

i get the 'my weenie is bigger' type of behavior on the road too... my favorite was when i was turning into a parking lot, across a sidewalk... and i cut off a bicycle cop (female) who was patrolling... she stopped and looked in - i said sorry.. she smiled and said 'sweeet'.

not all haters i guess

None of this behavior is surprising. We live in a society of entitlement, and when people don't/can't get what they want, it's someone else's fault. Your car is a billboard for their jealousy. Add in the self-righteous twits who believe we should all be driving a Prius or taking the bus, and it's a pretty sad situation.

When I was growing up, my next door neighbor had three Porsches - a 356, a Carrera, and a 928. This was the late-70's.

The best lesson I ever learned from him was NEVER accept a challenge from some loser who wants to race you, it's always a lose-lose proposition.

If you really want to pizz these people off, do what my neighbor always did - drive slow and easy. Save the antics for track day. It absolutely drives the losers crazy. Nothing like revving engines with some guy in a '73 Camaro with Crager mags, glass packs and Hi-jacker shocks (god am I dating myself), only to turn right when the light turns green and watch as Johnny Hero has left 20 feet of Goodyear Polyglas rubber behind him.

It sounds like that's what most of you guys are doing, so obviously the strategy works.

It's not a racial thing, it's jealousy and self-righteousness pure and simple.

i want to know what the hell is up with mouth breathing rednecks tailgating me in a jacked up truck with hid's blasting rap music and wearing a baseball hat with a fish hook on the brim... seriously wtf

What was his probable cause? lol

Brutal 370Z

I honestly have no idea lol it was actually a female cop. She just checked my licence and registration, and then let me go. I didn't ask questions, because it wasn't much of a hassle. I was left pretty clueless lol

ive street raced since the 60s in all kinds of cars. ive had 6 roadsters and there are a lot of envious drivers out there that cannot aford these cars so they become as----- i figure i worked for it and im going to enjoy it,thats like we have a mustang running around with a license plate that reads [ you wont ] and hes looking to race everything in sight ,he comes up on my as- then comes next to me then speeds off ,i just shook my head and smiled its nice having a sports car that looks good and goes fast and dosent have to prove it at every stop light ,if i wanted that i would have bought a pile of metal with a big engine and not the tech and looks and class of the Z bye for now just cruzin.

yah, last weekend (was it?) some newer M3 pulled up next to me at a light and just floored the living schit out of his car for some reason making a buzzing noise near redline.. i just accelerated normally and watched him arrive early to the next red light...

then about 3sec later a jetta that was behind the M3 blew past me and cut me off and made a turn into a supermarket. wow, that was like 4 fails in a row... driving a jetta, 3 seconds too slow, cutting people off, then turn into a supermarket on a sunny afternoon...all while i drove normally and watched silly people do silly things.

i went home, QD'ed my car, enjoyed playing with my new camera and computer, had a nice supper with my wife and kids and just enjoyed the rest of my day.

bottomline, some folks have a need to prove something cause they are empty inside.

I don't really get much negativity from other people in the z...it has been mostly thumbs up's that I've gotten.

Now the s2k attracted a lot of ricers...but that was my fault for hanging an intercooler out like that.
