I think the best one was a dude who looked like he was in his late twenties and his friend (of a similar age) climbed out of a new SL65 AMG a couple years ago, and then proceeded to take photos of just the Z itself and then side to side with the Merc. Kind of odd being compared to a car in a 200k dollar bracket. Then I thought about why there are 200,000 dollar cars in my area where I had parked. In front of a Target.

I remember a friend of the female persuasion got into the passenger seat and just started touching everything. Everything. At some point I think I let her sit in the driver's seat while the engine was idling. She revved maybe twice and just quietly returned to her home, where I was dropping her off. I remembered thinking, "Weird."

Best compliment def goes to seeing a young couple driving and seeing an attractive female smile as she looks at you while her boyfriend is driving, completely oblivious:D

I have new neighbours moving in to the house next door. I introduced myself to them today and the guy says, oh you're the guy with the Porsche in the garage. I said, nah... It's just a little Nissan. :bowrofl:

He proceeded to tell me about the 240z he used to own that was race prepped. Turns out he might be a good neighbour. :tup:

seungklee 06-27-2012 11:36 PM

Yesterday I was at a shell station getting gas and this guy comes to me trying to sell his cleaning wax. He approached my car and started saying, "whoa is this a 450z?" (I'm like wow)...no...it's a 370z and he goes like, "really?! it's a nice car, I thought Nissan would've went up to 450z by now...but aside from that, I DID get a compliment saying how he liked my car!

NuffZed 06-27-2012 11:49 PM

Some interesting stories. Mine happened a bit over a week ago as I walked out to my car a Murcielago pulls up beside me in my out of the way spot. Guess I sould have taken a pic for the "who parks by your Z" thread. As I check out this awesome pearled orange beauty a mid-thirties guy and his hottie GF get out. "Nice ride man", I say. Thirties guy is too uber for me, closes his door and walks off. Thirties-guy hottie GF says with a smile and laugh that melts me on the spot "Great colour, convertibles are more fun!" She walks off looking back once at the car (I doubt it was me).

She honestly liked the car. :tup: I could see that and gladly take the complement but he took pains ignoring me so I'll take it as a compliment too. :cool:

I tried to be nice when we first moved here. Then after seeing the nieghbors let their dogs crap in my yard and their friends parking in mine because they didn't want to rut up their yard. I got a little bit pissy, except with the one hot chick she can park where ever she likes...:yum:

Their memories of speed and avoiding the Cops. the thrill and the excitement of the wind against their faces. the longing for their Z sports car again...... and at the end of it all..... just plain and simple..... admiration..... thats what i enjoy.

Plain and simple....the Z community......


OUCH........I am one of those "elderly" foks you're talking about but I'm still having fun enjoying my '09 370Z M/T. I remember the 240Zs and how awesome they looked. I never thought I would ever own one but here I am with my 370Z and the 240Z can't hold a candle to it :)

( I remember them well so guess I am an old geezer too!)

I see "pfizer" in onzedge's sig and I am wondering if the car takes pills or if it's a tuning house which I've never heard of (and am surprised they haven't been sued for all they own by pfizer's corporate lawyers).

Ha. You are only the second one to notice. Pfizer makes products that give my Z's a little "lift".

I've gotten relatively few compliments on my Z. Friends, family, and the one other guy in my town that owns a 370Z, but that's about it. I've had a few other Z drivers wave at me on the road, and actually several Corvettes. I get very little love from random strangers. I think a lot of folks actually dislike the car, judging from the stare-downs I get from Mustang, Camaro, & Challenger owners. Quite a bit of, "I only buy American" where I live. :icon23:

Or maybe I'm just a jerk and I don't know it. :shakes head:

I don't really care, as I didn't buy my Z for other's approvals. ;)

Right, I see the base camaros and challengers staring me down all the time and I just laugh.

One thing I really hate is all the lifted oil burning junker trucks that want to race me. I'll be cruising along with my windows down and they pull up next to me and then floor it. My car is low so often times their exhaust is literally pointed straight in my window and they fill my car with burnt oil diesel exhaust. Beyond obnoxious.....

Nice Altima Coupe? ...guess it looks like one? Is Altima like the luxury version of our cars? I said my car wasn't as fancy as an Altima but probably just as quick.

http://lamborghiniaventadorwallpaper...ltima-2013.jpg

SmallermouseZ 07-01-2012 10:43 PM

Altima is lower grade compared to the Z. How dare u compare our cars to that beater!!?? JFK haha!

LMBmikeZ 07-01-2012 11:43 PM

Altima's are good cars but anyone comparing them to a Z is not knowing what they are talking about when it comes to cars, completely different classes.

had a douche in a f250 superduty do this to me. i was behind him at a light, he eyeballs me through his side mirror while revving it until black smoke was everywhere several times. windows were up. embarressed him passing him on the four lane after following him in a right turn, then aggrivated him braking to turn left on my street. very slowly. love it.
