If you had your current Z in high school...

So then I thought...what if I drove my current Z back then? Yes, I know it was only the 280 or 300 ZX that was the latest model at least in my HS years, but work with me here. If you drove your current Z in high school, how would:

A. You be different (more confident, "stuck-up," happy go lucky, etc.)?

B. Or how might others treat you differently?

A. yes I would be an arrogant prick because my car would have been the best out of my whole school and I would accelerate really fast in the parking lot to show off

B. yes everybody would hate me

I purchased my Z at age 18, now 20. I drove it through my senior year only.

A. You be different (more confident, "stuck-up," happy go lucky, etc.)?

-It never really gave me any extra confidence, it was just fun to drive

Always wanted a Z.

B. Or how might others treat you differently?

-I wasn't what they call "popular" I had my same group of friends throughout the year. No one really knew who I was so they never associated that sexy Z in the parking lot with that random guy.

I always got out early also, so no one ever saw me leave in it. Until one day there was a group of like 12 dudes chilling around my car in the parking lot??

A few of them knew me and kept asking if this was my car blah blah. Just drove off after that. Sorry for the story!
