I work my *** off for what I have now and it kinda annoys me but then I remember what it took to get here and it makes me more pround of who I am and where I came from.

Don't sweat the BS...
Great stuff. Glad to read you made the change and are sticking to it... much respect for that.

I've noticed I get a lot more looks in the Z than in my Ridgeline. Especally from girls. Lots more smiles & waves when you're driving a red sports car vs. a pick up truck. And I get a lot of comments like 'Oh, I wouldn't park that on the street' & stuff. Heck, it was only $3,000 more than my Ridgeline and nobody said a word about being careful with my Ridgeline when it was new.

I haven't gotten waves or nods from other 370z drivers, but then again I don't see
too many.
