Default Is it Normal

My office is on a busy high way. our parking lot runs the length of the building and is parallel to the high way. i park all the way at the end of the lot to stay away from everyone else and there doors. Apparently someone saw the car from the highway came back into our lot and took photos of my car. Now my car is dam sexy as we all know they are.

this being only my 3rd day of driving her, Is this normal? should I get use to the life of a celebrity or should I worry and move my car closer to the office windows? or both?

its a temporary thing, you get use to it after a while. Just be cautious when they start to ask you for a ride and try to be best buds with you after, their intentions are never good.

After a few weeks of looking down your nose at everyone you'll turn very political and eventually start adopting kids from 3rd world countries. It happens to all of us Z drivers eventually.

Haha! I have noticed people driving weird and aggressive around me all the time. Trying to race me from lights. Staring at me and shaking their heads at me.. I just lol at it all. I have also received a few compliments on the car but sadly I think I have gotten more negative remarks. People are just jealous that is all.

Welcome & congrats on your new ride. Thumbs up on becoming famous & I'm glad your enjoying yourself. You are now the sh*t big guy. Be careful of the wrong kind of ladies out there.

happens everytime man, happens every time

take this for example.......... mustangs and comaro's do not get the head turns the Z does, because there are so G$d Damn many of them, its just become a " eh whatever, we've seen them before" type deal. (yes even the 5.0 lol despite the HP difference)

i was driving behind this mustang today and everyone from little kids to elderly couples exc, stopped, pointed and stared..... snapping pictures of...Not the Mustange, but the car behind it..... My Z.....

you buy a 370.... your gonna get looks, its a dayum sexy looking car, and it just turns heads regardless!

as for people wantinga ride.... they always ask me "hey let me take your car for a ride!, i wont hurt it" blah blah blah.... i bought the Z and its 2 seats for a reason!!!!! (knew it would come in handy) Me and my Girl! ONLY! (cept when parents demand the key..... then its a shamefl let down and "ok......" lol

If someone is taking pictures of your car and you happen to be walking back to your car would you wait for them to take pictures and leave or go up to your car while they are still taking pictures.

......................


yes


always get the same response and same look too, like "OH! THATS YOUR CAR?!?! I I I I was just taking a picture and admiring it" the Satisfaction feeling you get after you first hit the unlock door button and see the lights flash a few times and see the people's heads start glancing over this way and that way... is priceless. "who owns this? " lol
