FuTuRe is Z 11-27-2013 04:30 AM

I drove a Genesis coupe prior to the Z, I would receive comments very similar to what most of you have been discussing in this thread.

The worst was when someone asked me if my car was the new Scion TC. I don't see how someone could confuse the two, the Genesis is substantially larger and wider.

Either way, I haven't really received many compliments on the Z yet, but then again I didn't purchase it for compliments. I just wanted to start a new project.

I had a guy coming up to me at the gym, asking me if it was a GTR :icon17:

When I tell folks I bought a Z they tend to make comments about the "class of car" or get this wide eyed, wow look on their face like I spent 75k on a sports car. LOL

I saw GT-R when I went to buy my Z and I thought it was a Z, only the gold brake calipers gave it away at first glance.

Back when I owned my Porsche Cayenne S I got ribbed by folks who said, "If it has four doors it's not a Porsche." Just goes to show that you will never make everyone happy. In face when I posted on facebook about wanting a Mustang I got dozens of replies each with their own opinion. But no one was offering to buy the car for me. :-)

We have been looking at both Cayenne's and Panameras. True Porsche people dont care as long as it is a Porsche. At least the ones in my chapter of the PCA.

The drop in value of a used Panamera is ridiculous. I see ones with 10k miles selling for the low 60's.

Had a Dominos delivery guy follow me for about a mile all the way into a gas station because he wanted to know what exhaust I had he. He said he thought I was a GTR. :p

So your car gets Dominoes drivers to follow you? That's a small step below supermodels now isn't it? :p

I think it's not a bad thing sometimes if people thought we are driving a porsche or whatever....


scenario:

you: (driving the Z going 80 in a 55 zone)
officer bob: (spot you speeding on the other side thus cannot chase you)
officer bob: there's a (whatever colour) porsche going on the eastbound on interstate xx
you: (driving the Z while officer john is looking for the porsche)




not bad.... eh..??

Yesterday I was leaving work. It was a beautiful day so I rolled the windows down. Guy in suv next to me asks. What does it cost a month to drive a car like that? I said I don't know I paid cash. His response, how much? I guess I am getting tired of ignorance, I said 70k. I don't think he even knew what it was, alll he saw was exotic.

When you guys look back at your car, do you see what I see? I see a sweet sexy little exotic car.
