This is why its never really good to leave your car parked out in one location for a long amount of time.

I take pics of cars I see all the time and post them on forums in sighting threads

All I get is the occassional "Hey man nice car" at the gas station.

The "Oh nice car..is it fast" from the girls at the gym if I park it up front. But I think someone just stole my thunder as another guy just got a brand new 5.0 yesterday and was showing it off. Hmm maybe I need to trade in already...not

And last and not least someone knocking on my window as I am about to drive off and its some old lady asking me for gas money to get home.....ummm how did you get to the store if you didn't have gas to get back?

Then there is the honda's trying to race me and/or cut me off if I don't.

common scam at gas stations, parking lots, etc. you'll probably see her again asking other people in the same place later.

back on topic. i had some guy in a truck follow me off the highway and pull up next to me all fast at a light. i thought he wanted to race? but he just stopped to tell me he liked my car. why couldn't it be a woman?

best was when i was getting out of my car and a little kid walked up to me and asked "is that your racecar?"

2 things happened to me recently:

1) 3 sexy ladies pulled up next to me and got me to roll down my windows to tell me that my car was 'oh my gawd so hawt' and I was cute (naturally). I asked them how old they were and they told me.. 17. I had a pretty good feeling they were 16/15 so I left it at 'oh my gawd thx' and drove off.

2) I was at the mall chatting with my friend at her store.. and I saw a 15-ish kid checking out my car. He stuck his nose right up against my side window to look inside cuz it's tinted.. when I went back out I noticed he left a sizeable spot of SNOT on my window. SNOT. It was 'not' hawt.

Side note - I've been looking at this emoticon for weeks. WTF is it supposed to be? A butt crack? A belly button?

That doesn't surprise me... My wife really wanted a G37, but we knew we weren't going to push the budget that far. She still wants a G sedan, but I'm liking the whole one car payment thing we got going on right now. Not really interested in another car payment, especially if it's more than the Z.

bobZter · 04-19-2012, 05:04 PM

My Z story!

I was joining some friends for our weekly breakfast at a local cafe. (It's what retired people do) I was able to park my Black Cherry 370Z Roadster right in front of the cafe and as I walked in a couple had noticed the car. The guy was really interested and asked a ton of the usually questions, which I answered with enthusiasm as I always do to anyone who shows the interest. .... but his scowling really overweight wife look at my Z and at me and said very sarcastically "It looks like a Mid Life Crises to me"!!! Again, this woman was very sarcastic. I was taken back a little..... and responded: "why thank you so very much" I said, "I guess that means I'm going to live 140 years as I will be celebrating my 70th birthday in a few months"! Things got very quite until my friends started laughing and joking about my mid life crises car. Mid life crises! I wish! I love my Z, i love to drive it, and I love the positive attention it gets from almost everyone.

cuz she was a fatty & knew she could never fit in there. jealousy. I get that too from poorly employed peeps. they try hard to come up with criticisms to try to convince themselves that even with our riches they would still drive their ford focus and not buy our sexinesses.

I would let them take the photos assuming they do not look ghetto, or could possible steal my ride.

+1......her fat a** probably couldn't fit in there to begin with & the seats would be all stretched out FOR SURE. People will always be envy of what other's have. There is nothing that you can do about it.

mhcoss · 04-19-2012, 07:20 PM

I got out of my car yesterday and a little boy came running up to me and said very enthusiastically

"Now that is what I call a car!!"

Made me smile
