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

MJB · 12-01-2012, 08:04 PM

How many of you guys have had 350z's pull up next to you trying to get you to run? These guys are starting to get annoying. Passed one up tonight on the freeway and he decided to speed up and pull beside me. I paid no attention to him, nor all the other highway racer/stoplight dragsters that try to prove they have a bigger d!ck than I do.

Really 350 guys hate? Thats sad...

I miss the days when I was in my Subaru & we gave "thumbs up" or "peace signs" to every other WRX or STi no matter the year or modification level.

And to get the best reaction from racers, do not look at them or even acknowledge their existence lOl that tends to piss them off for some reason...

I live right outside Ft. Hood military base which is sports car/muscle car galore around here. I've had my share of 350z hate, but it might just be this area as there are a lot of young immature soldiers with fast cars. Like people have mentioned in previous posts, I get a ton of lifted trucks that try to nearly run me off the road when they get a chance. Since my Z isn't a DD, I tend to not even drive it at night anymore, especially on Friday and weekend nights. People are just to dangerous

Several times. Even a civic yesterday. It was a LX model so I backed off.

Yeah my Nismo isnt my daily & only brought it out today to go to the cleaners. Finally broke 100 mi today YAAAY!!!!!

Joelito · 12-02-2012, 08:52 AM

Happy to me this morning on my way to work! Some idiot decided to blow pass me in a trail blazer and pretty much cut me off/cornered me into the parked cars next to me for no apparent reason. Mind u this was at 6:30am on a Sunday morning! Thank god for my good brakes I had to literally slam on my breaks to avoid hitting him/ the parked cars next to me. Great start to my shift

morning times are the times all the grouchy coffee drinkers are on the road, seems the trail blazer didnt get his/her caffeine.

Its always the miatas I see on the highway trying to play speedracer.

B&W_Evader · 12-03-2012, 09:42 AM

Got a blocker this morning. Truck of course. Pulled the old "I'm driving slow and mellow" trick, fell back a little. Of course, as predicted, he slowed down to continue his block giving me a nice gap between him and the car in front of me. I put my foot into it and got over to the the exit I needed to take.

What a sucker...

theres this guy with a 300zx non turbo that I see sometimes on my commute to work, try to keep up with me, roasted him. He kind of looked like drake from degrassi anyways he did not know how to drive a manual kept stalling.

He should have done his research on the car before buying and the saddest part is he gave me like/thumbs up when I passed him later.

RonZwanson · 12-07-2012, 08:12 AM

I live in Bumblescum, PA and where I'm at it's the hill billies in their '98 Rams everywhere. (Also a healthy number of late 90s Z28s and Integras.) I'll be rolling to work at 70mph in a 55 zone, and they're all over my arse. Most of the time I just stick the needle at 70 and stay there. If they need to blow some diesel fumes and pass me to feel manly, so be it. I'll just enjoy my ride to work and my superior hygiene habits...

One time I did c*ck block a tow truck. Single lane road, I was going ten over, as was the five-car line ahead of me, and he was ALL over me. He tried to pass me twice and I wouldn't let him. Probably not the smartest thing to do, but he was pissing me off. Eventually he passed the entire five car line, including a tractor trailer, going over a hill. Good move. I actually debated chasing him down and getting his plate/company complaint number, but I was about a half mile from home, so I went home and watched Sons of Anarchy.

Definitely not alone! Seems like everyone and their brother wanna drag race. N the Z definitely demands the attention from the "boys in blue". I was pulled over once just because a state trooper wanted to know what type of car it was! The thing that happens most often to me is morons trying to cut me off because I'm driving a few mph faster than them, or they'll try n speed up when I attempt to pass them.

Mecinoid · 12-08-2012, 02:43 AM

This happens to me all the time. It doesn't matter what car I'm driving. The Vette, Z, Supercharged Firebird, Jeep or Volt. People are just in too much of a hurry. I like to slow down and look around while I drive. Especially now during the holidays being that many people just like run that red lights because they don't want to wait.

What are you going to do? I just let them go on up the road and get in their accident or pass them at the light. I love it when that happens especially when I'm in the Volt. BTW the Volt is no slacker with 250ft lbs of torque. I just rarely use in battery mode. In elect/gas mode I'll put her in L Sport mode and blast away from lights just to show people Volt have something under the hood. ;-) Maybe Childish.... but, hella fun.

Oh yeah, it always cracks me up win a SUV wants to try to beat me. I just let them go because if I get in front of them and I have to hit my brakes there is now way they'll stop in time and I'll be the one suffering from the rear ender.
