Really Pissed!!

The bottom line is it does it even matter what they think? Are we all so insecure about the image of our cars that we have to defend their "manliness"

Exactly.
I mean, I have a girly Z and a gay Miata and I'm still getting laid despite my cars... and that's after 13 years of marriage which is even more impressive.
(Shhhh, don't tell Mrs. Luna I'm getting laid. )

lol, tell that to a user named TorqueMachine over on youtube...just look for a video entitled "srt vs 370Z" and you'll know what i mean. Had a good conversation with that guy that was backed up with facts and supposedly he was a 370Z owner (hopefully not someone on here), but guess he couldnt take the facts and called it a day by calling me a moron and letting me know he wasnt going to respond to any more of my comments.

The Z made that dude feel his supressed homosexual feelings start to come out and he freaked! The gentle curves mixed with the masculine haunches were just too much for him.

The shallowness of those types of comments clearly indicate the shallowness of his knowledge of the car. Most people that know details and history of a car tend to have some level of respect regardless of the type of car and what demographic it is most popular with.

For the cracked out bum I would have put some lead in his kneecaps followed by two broken collarbones. Then I would have taken the $10.

So I am at dinner Saturday night with my wife and two other couples. One of the guys there I consider a great friend but I wanted to share just a little of our conversation over dinner that night.

I won't bore you with all of the conversation but let me start by saying I am a new Z owner for two weeks now. I bought a 2009 and absolutely love it. Let me also say I 38 years old and am 6 foot 1 and about 240lbs. My purchase of the Z came up in the conversation at dinner somehow and my "good friend" proceeds to say that the Z is a girls car.I have to tell you this kind of got under my skin immediately and the reason I am posting this is because I have thought about it ever since. I am the type of guy that is happy for you no matter what. I was brought up to not say anything if you have nothing nice to say. Your purchase could be the most hideous thing ever but I will congratulate you on it if it makes you happy. He also went on to say that the Bose surround sound I bought is over priced and not worth the money but thats for another forum.

When he commented on the Z being a girls car I let it go as to not make a scene at dinner but again I am posting because I am really bothered by the whole thing. Sorry for venting on here guys but I have to ask two questions.

Does a real friend really say these things?

What would your response to this be?

Thanks in advance everyone for letting me vent!!
Are you questioning your manhood or do you just like to randomly throw out your age, height, and weight? Why the insecurity?

Laugh and ask your friend if he thinks you look pretty in your car and if he wants to pay for your meal if you go home with him tonight, crack the whole table up, come off as quick-thinking and make HIM feel like the one behind the curve. This is much more preferable to acting like some man-child brooding over his supper because someone made a crack about you/your car.

Jesus. I hope owning a Z won't do this to me. I might have to hang onto the 'vette a little longer and just continue on with the gold-chains and mullet.
