Some guy pulled up next to me in a pickup ( don't remember the make) and said I had a nice japanese rocket. I honestly didn't know how to respond. He then asked if it was fun. I said yea and went on my way.

Also had someone pull up next to me, again in a pickup, and ask what nismo meant. I didn't know how to answer that in the three seconds we had at the stop light, so I just said it means sportier.

I showed my wife a picture of a McLaren 12C in a magazine last night. She told me that the 370 is sexier.

Did you smack her? Just kidding!!!

That's OK, she is probably not a "car person", so I would have taken that statement as a compliment. Most times, I just consider the source and go from there. I usually get "man, that car is really sick" and yes, most people don't have a clue what kind of car it is. I do notice a lot of people just stare at it while I am driving. Of course, I stare at it all the time as well

I get 350 all the time... even my Nissan service (girl) referred to it as a 350 numerous times.

Otherwise no one has ever insulted me (to my face at least).

That is due to you being a Premium Member, I think.

i get batmobile alot too. 350 a ton. Or "what is that". this one kid was trying tell me how bad the 370z sounds and that they sound ricey. I just calmly disagreed and moved on.

twinturbonet · 07-10-2012, 12:26 PM

Well, idk about my worst compliment, but my best was from a guy driving a black 911 Turbo who gave me a thumbs up on my Nismo. I should have asked him if he wanted to trade!

FlawlessZ · 07-10-2012, 12:33 PM

**** the haters.

I hate getting called cute, specially coming from a MINI (cute machine) I thought nobody would call the Z cute but I still get chicks all the time...

Cmike2780 · 07-10-2012, 12:54 PM

This girl I dated said the Z was "girlie"....I didn't call her back for a second date. True story.

Personally, I don't understand why people get so butt hurt when somebody tries to complement their car & they don't know exactly what type of car it is ie, 350, Porsche, Audi ect. Not everyone is an avid car buff & knows every single model of car. If they say it's nice, be nice & say thank you while explaining to them what it actually is. Attitude seems to bounce.

All the women I know say it's cute. I say "it's husky yet athletic... sort of like you."

This made me laugh out loud at work.

I get cute sometimes, I think thats just girls being nice, too scared to say its hot or sweet or anything like that. Cute to me is a compliment and not demeaning in anyway, perhaps their way of opening up a means of communication?
