Nissan 370Z Forum  

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

I'm starting to feel like its not the other people that do the silly things, its me who thinks they're doing it.

Cut it down because they are jelly. Last night I was sitting minding my business waiting for my girl to get out of the bar and I hear one of them exclaim. "that car is gay." I laughed and yelled out "thanks bro!" and proceeded to drive off.

People definitely do stupid sh!t all the time when I'm driving my Z.
A few nights ago, I was driving home when a slammed riced out pos mazda hatchback came tailing my azz instead of just passing me. Because it was after midnight on a weekday with not many cars on the road, I downshifted and floored it to pull away from the douch bag. With my mods I expected to just easily leave him in the dust. But to my surprise, that pos almost kept up initially. He must have had some fat turbos and/or nitrous.
This is just one example. I get the same from the minivans too! I get guys in their pos tailgating, revving at red lights, doing the screaming pass bys, etc. And its always the pos cars, never those in nice cars.

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.

He asked me to race so I spent a good 7-8 seconds looking his minivan over and then said 'Um, why?'

He got pissed and ran through the red light. Nuts!!

Haha man this happens to me all the time! I'm chillin at a red light next to a minivan and the light turns green and the minivans wheels are spinning. I'm like wtf really? how old are we now. This is usually middle aged men too. I guess it hurts their pride to see a 25 year old male driving a 370

it happens to me since I was driving my Rx8. I get used to with it and sometime when I full of it this is how I take it off. ( last time I used it it was last year when the fast and furious movie came out with a punk truck driver) 1. glance back at them even you are on the traffic light 2. rev your engine or even you're driving just rev up the engine 3. they will floor their gas pedal 4. just let them go and get back on your natural speed lol In my opinion, they might think wat a chicken are you but it better than wreck up your car. I used to wreck my car when I was like 16 or 17 I can't remember because of racing, I never do race anymore even Im on my Z or Rx8.

Ok so I got one:

Today I was chillin at a light and a 10 year old kid goes riding by on his bike. I glance over at him and notice he is staring right at me with his middle finger stickin out. I just shook my head and drove away confused. What a little @#$% he probably has the worst parents in the world.

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.
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.

Really? I have never had that happen here in Oiltown... usually just a lot of gawkers and cell phone picture snappers.

...maybe it's you, not the Z, that attracts such attention...
