Love Toyotas, no feelings on Subaru, but I do HATE that car. I'll race them (on a closed course obviously) in my dad's Maxima, and get to a stop, "Hey, how does that 3 banger and 200 horsepower feel? Sucks don't it, the family sedan with my fat áss, my friend, a glass roof, and cooled seats just raped you!"

That's exactly why I did not buy one after I sold my Celica - I was basically getting the same car.

From Los Angeles, CA ... we have plenty of d-bags to spare. Please take them!

Depending on areas, we have the mexi-style protruding rimmers, the I'm cooler than that (because I have style) ricers, the muscle heads in the camar/charg/llenger/stang- thing, the hurrying SUV who don't know how to drive, the giant American (I don't care if you're there- cause I'm an American hero) pickups, etc...

Hope I didn't offend anyone, just that LA is a melting pot of d-bags. Block to block, you'll always find a different one. Not just Z owners.

Sigh.....:shakes head:

I KNOW I do haha
Nashville! AKA: the land of civics with farts cans, ricers that THINK they're hot s**t and lifted trucks that "roll coal" with HIDs :werd:
At least in terms of the auto scene here or lack thereof.

Live to short to worry about stuff like that. Concentrate on those you love.

However, nine times out of ten, I can't tell if someone is waving/thumbs upping me when driving by - the tint is so dark on their car + my tint... I can't see.

I'll wave most of the time to other Z people, but I'm not obligated to nor do I expect them to acknowledge. Sounds like the OP thinks he's better than the others, expecting reciprocation from other Z drivers.

Some people like to pay attention to the road... :stirthepot:
Not when you're sitting at a light or in a parking space

If you did not like how the other driver modified their car, and you thought he/she just ruined the look of a car you really like, would you still wave to them?

Most Z owners I've come across (regardless of gen) have been d-bags. LITERALLY less than a handful I have met have shown good comradery. TWO different Z owners I came across here in the Nashville area (one even in our TN G/Z FB group) actually gave me a hard time about owning a touring model and not a "sport model".
Seriously!? Judging a fellow enthusiast about his or her trim level? :wtf:

I LOVE the amount of information on this forum and the knowledge of it's members but, DAMN I have REALLY been disappointed in the community. I had a friend of mine put it this way. "Think of Z owners like BMW owners. React and respond as such" He is a former Z owner and now drives a BMW X5 lol

Just my POV and I'll side with the OP.
well, yah, the proper trim a true enthusiast would get is the base with sport package, illuminated sills and splash guards... oh and wheel locks and trunk floor carpeting. dont forget the trunk floor carpeting.

touring. sheesh... :shakes head:

I get more waves and hellos from the Subaru family than I ever did in my Nissan :stirthepot:

I've never thought about that… I want to say yes I would but I feel that if it was too far gone, I wouldn't.

Plenty of love down south between Z owners on the roads and whatnot.

I don't care to glance at other cars when sitting at the light.

Joepro 01-29-2014 11:48 AM
Some yes some no, I try to make a habit to wave or beep at other Z owners, 350s too, some respond others do not. The 370s have a somewhat mixed bag or repsect around here, so some owners I would say are alreadt on the defensive...I was talking casually to a customer of mine that had a crz and I told him I had a 350 and was going to turbo my 370 soon and he told me I was stupid modding my 370 and should have kept my 350 and TTed it...it takes all kinds.

KaienZ34 01-29-2014 11:49 AM
To answer the thread title, not because of whatever car/truck/bike/plane/ufo I'm in. Nor do I need name brand clothes, shoes etc.. to be "cool" or feel better about myself.

I just do this....;)
