The one thing I hate about the Z

I went to the grocery store today and discovered another item to add to the list. The trunk volume is too freaking small.

So I'm pulling up to a red light near my home a few weeks ago, downshifting with the match rev as I usually do. Had no idea some dude in a Cobra was pulling up next to me and I guess the matchrev got him a bit too excited. Light tunrs green we cruise to 2nd gear, Then he decides IT'S GO TIME! Stomps his gas petal and his rear broke completely lose sending him fish tailing into my lane side ways towards to center concrete median, nails it with his front end (im assuming his front bumper took a beating) somehow he bounces off the median (probably not the best way of describing it, but just go with it) straightens back up and keeps driving like nothing ever happened.

I was in shock. I thought it was hilarious but felt super bad for the car. Just really thankful he didn't take me out.

This is so sad and hilarious at the same time. Dude just drove off like nothing happened. He probably felt like the biggest ***.

Doesn't matter what car you drive. People around you are going to drive like idiots. With the Z for some reason, there are toolbags out there that feel the need to "challenge" you when you're just trying to drive home from work. Best advice I can give is to ignore them. If they're a real car enthusiast, they'll wave or give a thumbs up. If they're talking shyt, well...anyone can talk shyt. Just the other day I had a repair man come in to fix by boiler. He said nice car and asked how much hp it had. I told him 332 and he said "that's it?!"...my Chrysler 300 has 380hp...I got a chip installed. I thought those things were a lot faster." I could have told him a lot of things about what makes for a fast car, but it's all a bit silly and pointless. He obviously knew very little about cars other than what he read in the brochures and magazines. The same goes for a lot of idiots out there who think they have RACECAR because loud exhaust! Next time, turn your camera phone on for video, rev at the red light and watch these morons look like idiots.

There's no way you're seriously asking that question. It's not possible. Someone that has to seriously ask that question is not capable of using a computer.

Thing I hate bout the z is.....she can't fly and that she doesn't have one of those batmobile gadgets that with a hit of a button a armor shield covers the z. I love my Z.

lol this particular thread starts off with a kid crying over another kid calling his ride slow and then b*tches about douche drivers when he himself cut off the other kid. then you have another kid who asks if a civic is faster than a Z. it's the perfect storm.
