First Thing People Ask/Say When They See You And Your Z?
 
For me the very first question I always get asked when people want to talk to me about my Z is "How many turbo's that thing have" or "is that the turbo model" :shakes head: My Z is pretty much stock besides stillen intakes. It makes me proud to say none sometimes.

GaleForce 10-31-2012 12:38 PM

People generally ask "what kind of car is that"

Others in the know, say "cool Z" and go on to tell me about their car history including their ownership of some old early model Z's.

Either way it's all good.

livethefunk 10-31-2012 12:41 PM

yeah people who know what it is usually then want to brag to me about their car. I do get a lot of people who were former Z owners which I love hearing.

NickTurnon 10-31-2012 12:41 PM

Is that the 3.5 or 3.7?

Is it fast?

Nismo89 10-31-2012 12:54 PM

the old fashioned Double take.

look at the car, then me, then car, then me again


as if to think " you? THIS car? how the F*ck?"

slumpey 10-31-2012 01:10 PM

All the time, "Is that a Porsche?"

Yeah, I get that one too.

jburke26 10-31-2012 01:22 PM

The question i hear mostly is.... How much did that thing cost?

Zenki370 10-31-2012 01:22 PM

"I dont understand how you could own a car so impractical"
"Must be nice having a car you only drive when its nice out"
"Wow its pretty tight inside of there"

MarkGideon 10-31-2012 01:28 PM

The one I got a lot at the office when I first got the Z, "How did you convince the wife to let you get that thing?"

To which I answered that all it took was first suggesting I might want a motorcycle, then it was easy to get her to agree to anything other than a motorcycle.

enkei2k 10-31-2012 02:04 PM

I had these two guys come up to me in a bright orange Supra once while I was sitting at a red light asking me "Nice car. What's the retail on one of those?"

I told them, "More than you can afford pal. Nissan." and tried my best impression at doing this:

I was going to hit the like button, but thought about it a bit and decided I really wouldn't like to hear that.

But your comment made me :rofl2:

DIGItonium 10-31-2012 04:12 PM

"Nice 350Z!"

Mt Tam I am 10-31-2012 05:39 PM

After Porsche, Why does it only get 12MPG.

FairladyZ 10-31-2012 06:17 PM

First, anyone can afford a Z. Its called financing.

Anyways, i never get anyone saying anything, everyone just secretly stares, when i drive pass i see them in the rear view or side mirror looking.

luigi90210 10-31-2012 07:53 PM

UNKNOWN_370 10-31-2012 07:56 PM

Most asked Question...
Luv your ride... Can i suck your c**k? lmfao.:inoutroflpuke:

Seriously though... The two most common question i get is,

How fast is it?
&
Is that a 350z? Which starts the correction convo and explanation of the evolution of the Z car.

TheGreatOne 10-31-2012 09:41 PM

"Is that a Porsche/Looks better than a Porsche"
"How much is it" (Its funny how many people think this car costs more than 50/60K)
"How wide are your tires!!?!?" (At least for me, I have 305's in back)

Followed by every random compliment in the book...which never gets old :)

dirtrat 10-31-2012 09:50 PM

Mid Life Crisis? My answewr is it prevented the Mid Life Crisis!

LakeShow 10-31-2012 10:21 PM

"Hey is that really your car?, aren't you a little young to be driving that?" Lol makes me laugh.

SmallermouseZ 10-31-2012 10:30 PM

How much do u pay each month?

$0 cause I bought it with cash.

Strangler 10-31-2012 10:39 PM

"is it fast?" - Most annoying question ever but they ask it very frequent.

The other part is people mistaken the car for a 350z, which is also annoying.
