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

I think we should remember: it takes balls to drive a car like the 370z. The car doesn't care what other people think of it. Neither should you.

Of course it's human nature to desire what you don't or can't have. Respect is a positive result, jealousy or hatred is a negative result.

Old thread but yeah we established the fact that some areas dont get the same hate, attitude, and etc in the Z.

Agreed.

Is there a universal Z sign for approval?

I ask because I was on the interstate the other day when heavily tinted & stickered 350Z caught up with me. They slowed down when he got next to me and gave me two quick revs (nice exhaust) then continued on his/her way at their original speed. I couldn't see if they were waving, thumbs-up, or giving me the finger because of the limo tint.

I took it as a "nice Z" gesture.

What do you think?

I've only had my Z for two weeks, but the stare-downs at lights are ridiculous. As bad as it was when I had my WRX. I have zero interest in racing, let alone street racing. I think every 18-24 year old in a Musamaro assumes that we're lined up for a drag race.

I believe the universal sign for approval is the head nod (hard to see through limo tint...).

When people act dumb next to me on the road, I just stare straight ahead (wearing dark sunglasses) you've just got to bada** them until they go away
