First Thing People Ask/Say When They See You And Your Z?

livethefunk · 10-31-2012, 12:18 PM

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"

My Z is pretty much stock besides stillen intakes. It makes me proud to say none sometimes.

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.

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?"

All the time, "Is that a Porsche?"

When I first got it, the first question was, "How fast have you gone with it?"
The one I got the most from people at work (or even those that I don't know) say, "Jeez, it must be nice to get a car like this!" I reply, "I've been working for 39 years at the same place, my wife 28 years, we have one grown child, my wife and I have been saving for a car for a long time and we know how to manage our money!" To that they say, "Oh."

I get that a lot too... And the fastest was 115-120 when I first picked up the car... (Not street racing or anything) I just had no idea, driving from Austin to Dallas at night and I wasn't used to the speedo being sooooo tiny, and as I was driving I was like damn this thing makes a lot of road noise... Looked down... Uh, OHHHHHH, THAT'S the problem, lol
And I slowed down

EDIT: not the fastest I've gone, lol, I was on CC with my 2001 Toyota Avalon at 123, lol

jburke26 · 10-31-2012, 01:22 PM

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

Happened to me many times.

"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:

Didn't end well...
