What's the best compliment you gotten about your Z ?

sfearl1 · 06-26-2012, 08:58 AM

The girl at the coffee shop drive-thru always compliments me on it. And all the guys at Jimmy John's are all, "duuuuude, sick 370". Had a guy drive up next to me the other day honking and waving. Once he got my attention he yells out his window, "young man, that is one BADASS CAR you have there!!!!" I gave him a thumbs up, hit my blinker and made my turn haha.

Watched a tractor trailer driver in his side mirror watch me passing him-he was grinning and honked at me as I passed, I may have been traveling faster than he was...hmmm... he seemed to enjoy it!

The only recurring "compliment" I get is that all the lifted, black-diesel-belching, vertical-exhaust-out-the-bed, blue-headlighted, rusted-out pickup trucks want to race me at every traffic light. Does that count?

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.

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

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

Buy American.

Get a Camaro (Canada) or a Mustang (Many components made in China and Japan).

Don't buy a Nissan (other than the Z, many models made in factories in the US).

Most of the time I don't get comments I get why didn't you buy a camaro or a mustang or a Corvette.

But when people actually know about the GTR and the 370z I get alot of thumbs up as I drive down the road.

The most consistent comment I get is that Monterey Blue is an amazing color!

chillz · 06-26-2012, 07:59 PM

People here don't usually seem to notice the Z, but when they do comment, it's invariably to say that it's a "beautiful car" -- which it is. It's usually men who comment, but one soccer mom in a huge SUV said the same thing

We have that up here north of the boarder to....... Toyotas are huge in my area because we have two of the main north american factories in our area. But yet there's still a lot of people would argue that its import or you should domestic. Mean while drive 2-3km from my house and there's a huge toyota plant pumping out lexus SUV's and corolla's!
