You can fix that by having a lot of money. Look at how many creepy old billionaires have trophy wives

I wouldn't say that Everybody stares at my Z when I go out but I know what you mean. I was actually thinking about this the other day. Sometimes, especially when I'm running errands, I just want to feel like I'm part of the traffic and I don't want to be stared at or egged on to race by some guy in a pickup truck. Oh well...the price to pay for such an extraordinary motor vehicle.

that's because you got the wrong bodystyle for that chassis... you needed to get a G35C.

Thats the truth, DFW and HOU are like the LA/SD in this region with tons of nice high end cars. No one gives a sh*t, now if I had a lifted F-150 I'm sure that I would get plenty of looks!

I don't mind being stared it, I feel important lol

But its true though, I often catch people breaking their necks, starting, thumbs up..and just before winter a dad driving his son (I imagine) and the son had his phone hanging out of the car taking video/pictures...

I will say when I'm driving the golf during winter I get totally disrespected...people cutting me off, going first when at the opposite stop sign, looks of disgust by people in higher end vehicles...total opposite in the Z

And Montreal had tons of high end vehicles...so I guess its a looker
