No real comments so far, just a lot of neck cranking.

I drive by a campground resort type place everyday, county road, very country tucked in the hills.. They have some cabins built along the road...a couple of guys standing on the front porch shooting the bull, i swear it was like a car commercial...slow motion ....me driving , their conversation stops as one guy catches sight of the Z, the other guy looks to see what his buddy is gaping at....they both stare as i drive by.....i just smiled.....and enjoyed the attention:tup:

My brother and I parked in a store parking lot on Saturday. As usual I parked in the very back spot and we started walking in. As we're walking I feel a car coming up behind us and starting to slow. I look over and the car stops and the guy says "Sweet ride. That car is just sick!" I laughed and thanked him and said "you just gotta be prepared to do some walking in parking lots if you drive one of these!" :) Made my day. I do get comments all the time at drive-thru's, etc but there's only around 3 370z's in my town. In the McDonalds drive-thru this morning I had a Mustang in front of me and the whole time he was staring at my car in the side mirror. Not a hating stare but a stare of jealousy lol It's good to drive a Z...

According to the girlfriend, my dogs now know the sound of my exhaust and get excited when I'm down the street.

I was so shocked that someone noticed my rear fog light it was pretty awesome

Was he good looking at least??? Lol

DEpointfive0 01-22-2013 05:11 AM

A lot of people ask if my tow hook/handles are stock, and I say they're painted (plastidipped) and I get a lot of compliments that it looks good

I get a decent amount of "nice car"s and such
Had and older couple ask me if they could have my car because it looked so good. I offered to let them take it for a spin, but they declined, lol

Best was my neighbor saying "is this your new car, (yes) it's sexy, when are you taking me for a ride?"
I took her out once in a Bentley and she didn't give a damn about it, lol
Good ol Smurf Blue, and she thinks it's sexy, lol

DEpointfive0 01-22-2013 05:28 AM

The thing that makes me really happy is that pretty much every little boy stares at my car, and every once in a while I'll see a really small kid wave, thanks to movies like Cars and hot wheels and such, lol
That and it's blue... And loud... Lol!!!

I pass by a preschool once a week and I am going up a hill in 2nd usually at 30 and I can see every bit just dgaf'd about whatever they were doing, lol

370zGatorman 01-22-2013 09:12 AM

Yeah, kids go crazy. In the Chic Fil a drivethru I was sitting there after placing my order. I look over and a family was walking to their car and a young boy was snapping pics of my car with his phone lol I guess it all depends on where you live but the 370z is pretty much like a lambo in my town. Everyone else is driving pickups or family cars.

JohnsZ 06-14-2013 03:22 PM

I received a nice one today while going through the drive-in window at a Wendys picking up lunch. The woman at the window says as she is handing me my bag "you can have this for free if you give me your car". I said in return "It will cost you the whole franchise". She laughed and said "you can have it". She went on about how nice my car was. Just a little compliment that you never get tired of hearing.

My girlfriend said she saw some guy in a red R8 staring at my car as he drove by.

Even gets looks from people that own cars three times as expensive!

brucelidat 06-14-2013 06:39 PM

Had a gas station attendant tell me it was nice and asked how much ti cost once.

Another time at a supermarket, a woman asked if I wanted to trade cars. She had a Prius. I told her she got much better gas mileage and she said some days, she just doesn't care, haha.

Other than that, not much since there are tons of fancy cars here in socal. Int he neighborhood I live in now, bimmers and benzes ar elike accords and Porsches are like quite abundant.

Walked in to a Jimmy Johns to grab lunch parking right next to front door. While I am in line waiting for my sandwich, I can hear the two guys behind the counter debating on whether or not the car is a Nismo 370z (which it isn't). The one guy turns to the other and says "I bet the guy gets laid all the time"...at this point, I jumped in the conversation and said "I've been married for over 13 years, I don't get laid at all regardless what I drive". We all laughed and the one guy came out from the counter to take a closer look it. He was awestruck...

Elan 06-16-2013 02:07 PM

I've pulled up to two Nissan dealerships for service/recall and everyone was staring. Finally one of the service guys came up and said "Wow I've never seen a red one yet. When we're done with the service, just don't look at the odometer". I got a kick out of that one.
Aside from the stares and pointing I get, I've had a 350Z owner drive out of his way to the gas station I was at. Came out to look at my car and ask questions because he has never seen a 370Z Nismo before. After that, he jumped back in and drove off. Feels pretty good when people go out of their way to look at the car.

I find it awkward when people stare at me in traffic so thats why I got dark tints. Sometimes I feel like they think I am driving daddy's car because I am only 21. I am paying for it myself as a commercial pilot. When people tell me I am too young for it or it's daddy's car I just tell them "Well I can fly airplanes pretty well so this is nothing". Usually shuts them up pretty quickly.

lmao nice one.
I had my Z since I was 19, but working at a hospital, many patients and co-workers think I look like I'm 15-16 LOL.
I had someone at a grocery store parking lot ask me if I took dads car out on a joy ride when she saw me I step out of my Z. She rolls her window down and she is says, that can't be your car; do you even have your drivers license?
It was quite funny lol.

2xtreme1 06-16-2013 02:45 PM

My latest compliments:

1. Took a friend out for a drive in the Z. She stated how well the car could handle. :D

2. I was driving around town, and this girl was keeping up just to see my Z. It was really obvious. She kept looking at me and smiling lol. I always find it funny when people do this.

3. I was leaving work with my co-worker. She has seen my car about twice before. I parked next to her, and when we got to our cars she said " damn, your car really is so sexyyyyy" :D Then I told her she could sit in it. She loved it and like other girls, found it "cute" being inside.

on a side note, why does every girl find the little cubby or ( not sure of spelling) where the nav should be, if you have that option, "cute".

blackcherry20 06-16-2013 03:34 PM

"The only thing hotter than that car is the driver ;)"

That's a good one. Double duty compliment.

DLSTR 06-16-2013 03:57 PM

Ive always liked simple compliments - 'Nice car', 'great looking car' etc. I try to give simple direct one's myself and not make the owner feel uncomfortable at all.

P's_Z 06-16-2013 05:44 PM

Sort of an indirect compliment.... Washing my car the other day at a gas station and two girls pull up and ask me if they can wash my car... And that they would do it for for free! :excited:

I was at a hookah bar and found a spot right up front where I could see it. I was sitting there puffing on some orange mint ( y'all should try it very tasty) and a group of guys with a couple of girls walked out. The girls start talking and took pictures with my car in the background while the guys were walking around and checking out my car. Surprisingly my friends I were with knew one of them and my friends starts pointing to me and says it's mine. The guy walks in and says my car looks sick. We chat a little and exchanged some fist bumps here and there and when back to enjoying some hookah.

Best compliments I've gotten for my z:

1. I was driving down the road and a Red R8 pulls on to the road and stays side by side to me in the other lane and we drive down for a bit.. he was occasionally revving at me, not to race, but just for fun :icon17: We stopped at a light but he had to make a right but before he did, he had the biggest smile from ear to ear and gave me a big thumbs up and I gave him one as well :tup:

2. I was stopped at a light and I look over to my rearview and an suv with its turn signal to the right, turned it off and swerved into the left lane beside me. I had my windows rolled down and a hot chick rolled hers and looked at my car and then stared me in the eyes for about 20 seconds no words and then asked me for my number :p :rofl2:

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."

She was def on molly lmao

Had a few people tell me, "Beautiful car." and one older, trashy looking lady say the same and that I looked good in it. :ugh2:

No one in traffic has said anything. I get a lot of stares, that's about it still.

Though... it is dirty right now. :(

I've had some pretty interesting experiences so far from onlookers driving my 2010 MB Nismo.

Bought the car in Miami FL last summer and drove it all the way home to MI with my wife. I had the TPMS light come on driving through the Everglades. Stopped in at the Naples FL Nissan dealership to have it checked out. Couldn't believe how many of the salesmen rubbernecked as I drove by to the service dept.

Same trip home on I 75 in FL, had a 18 -21 yo pass me in his blue 350z. As he passed by, he stuck his head and neck out the window staring backwards a good 6 car lengths past me smiling ear to ear before he pulled his head back in.

Multiple people passed taking pictures with cell phones. My wife was asking what is the deal with all these people staring. I said "This is the flagship car for all Z fans".

Since being home with the car the past year I've had:
A guy come racing up on me comes along side me and slows down. Does the heavy look over on the car. Then he makes the "hang loose" thing with his hand and continues to pass. His exit comes up pretty quickly. Rolls down his window, sticks his hand out doing it again and start's screaming "Wooohooo.. Yeah" about 5 times.

The staring as people pass by is pretty common anymore. Still get the cell phone photos.

Best one to date, I was driving on US -12 through a small town. A group of 4 teens was walking on the sidewalk coming toward me. A boy in the lead comes to a dead stop. His jaw drops open. He stares and twists his body as I slowly go by passing by.
