Really Pissed!!

bjblackout · 12-05-2011, 08:40 PM

I hope I am posting this in the right forum but here goes.

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!!

What does he drive? I tease my friends all the time, maybe he was joking.. maybe he is jealous and is looking to make himself feel better by finding defects on something he can't have. Don't listen to him, the Z is NOT a girls car

Red__Zed · 12-05-2011, 08:44 PM

just let it go.

if it bothers you, just be glad you don't have an s2k, or worse, a miata. you can always join in on the joking, and it generally kills the fun for most people.

you will always run into people that will make comments like that...the less you let it bother you, the better.

Skeeterbop · 12-05-2011, 08:46 PM

Not a girls car, but a hot chick driving a hot car (the Z for example) is 2

themann1984 · 12-05-2011, 08:49 PM

The 370Z is pure sex! It is hot, loud, and rough!

frost · 12-05-2011, 08:49 PM

Most of the time when people bash what others have, it's out of jealousy.

onzedge · 12-05-2011, 08:51 PM

BJ -- an impressive first post, indeed. Let it go.

Thechidz · 12-05-2011, 08:51 PM

he's jelly. and he's probably trying to get a rise out of you. If my good friend said that I'd call him out on it and tell him he's full of ****. then hug it out bro

My brother in law once looked at a new car I bought and said "I wouldnt want that car if you gave it to me!"
Some people are just ignorant or jealous or both and you have to accept that..Have you spoken to him about it?> Maybe he was just joking...if not he is really rude and ignorant and you have to ask what kind of friend he is. IMO

adampetrasek · 12-05-2011, 08:54 PM

One, I hope you bought the car for how you feel about it and not for what your friends would think abut it. And second, if my friends think negatively about something i did or bought, i wouldn't get mad if they told me so or teased me about it. They are my friends, I want to hear what they think, good or bad. I don't have to agree.

Trips · 12-05-2011, 08:56 PM

That happened to me one time and this is how I fixed him

There u go.. he's jelly

bjblackout · 12-05-2011, 09:06 PM

Thanks for all the replies guys. Guess I should not let it bother me but I am just not that way with friends. If your happy I am happy and it takes some nerve to voice your negativity about my purchases. When I start getting my bills sent to your address then your opinion may count!! Gotta tell ya it will be quite some time before he gets a ride in my girly Z......LOL
