Fueling the car this morning and a pretty young girl working for a local utility asked "What kind of car is that? I've never seen one before. That is BEAUTIFUL!". Totally made my day!

When I first got my car last year, a young gal in a civic pulled up next to me at light and said, "your car is f@#king sick", while her drunk passenger told me how much he hated me.
I remember smiling ear to ear from that.

A little kid barely old enough to talk pointed at the car with wide eyes and said 'race car'.

That's when I knew the Z passed the 'hot wheels' test.

THAT is awesome. Kids are the ultimate of Ultimate's as far as a passing grade goes for sure! i know my nephew likes to sit in the drivers seat of my car , both hands on the steering wheel, look at me and wink and whisper " Zoom Zoom" made me proud lol

I hate when people just ask outright how much your paid for your car...sometimes I find it rude depending on the context

Anyways, I got asked that today again by 2 guys outside of the grocery store...both are like "Oh, I thought that was easily a 100K car" lmao

I was like no, not at all. He said "well it sure looks like it"

I can't argue with a compliment like that..the car does get more looks than cars with 2 or 3x the price tag.

I got a parking ticket on campus, and at first I was furious, because I was parked in the correct spot. As I got closer and read the ticket, it was a "warning" and the comment said "nice car" I will post a pic of it up later!

So Friday I was cruising back from work around 530 down 495. All of a sudden in my rearview I see a black ISF speeding ahead. Thing was *MINT* looked like it had just been fully detailed. I was in the far left lane, and as he approached he stayed in the far right lane.

I noticed he kept looking over at my car, as I was his, (my windows are very tinted so he can’t see in... I think...)

I proceeded to drive up ahead of him until he shoots over next to me and signal to put my window down. He was driving like a dink, but made it look good. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I obliged. I look over and the middle aged Asian man yells out DUDEEE I FREAKIN LOVE YOUR CARRR!!!!

Maybe he was a fan of the Z's heritage or maybe our cars are just that sexyy!?!

I yelled back that his car is amazing, we exchanged thumbs up (phone numbers cough coughh...), and he sped away into the distance...

Got a wave and a head nod from an Audi TT driver this weekend (pretty cool I thought)-which is more than I can say for the PW Roadster Z I passed when I was in town 2 days earlier...also received a thumbs up (with my husband in the car with me-so he saw it too;-) from a guy in an old van this weekend.
god I love this car!

Today a high school kid in his G35 followed me home just to get a good look at the Z. Turns out he lives just a few blocks down the street.

We shot the **** for a few minutes and he took some pics for instagram. His G35 was pretty sweet too. Feels good man.
