Now you need to post your wheels!

July 4th party, I've had the car for a week. Monterey blue.

Number one comment from the women: I love that color. It's beautiful.

I get asked about the wheels and brakes a lot. I get the occasional, "I have never seen a 350Z that looks like that". (Me either!)

I gets more looks than I expected. Quite a few took pics of the car last weekend at the car show. They especially checked out the engine bay.

The funny thing is, my ugly nova gets more attention. And it only has primer for paint.

Got my weekly dose of complimets today while washing my car...

60+ yr old man(in a green car with neon green sneakers and neon green shirt :tup:) asking about my ark grip exhaust

Him: nice exhaust, did it come with the car or did you buy in a store?
Me: Nope, i ordered from the internet
Him: oh, so where did you take it to get installed?
Me: i installed it myself
Him: oh, so you know how to weld?
[2 seconds of silence]
Me: oh no, everything screws together with nuts and bolts
Him::icon14:[2+ seconds of silence]
Me: its an exhaust "kit"! Comes with the tubes, nuts, bolts, mufflers...
Him: ooohhh... niiice! Looks great in your car.

I laughed because i imagined myself in his place in 30 years from now :rofl2:

Yea, 30 years ago you couldn't get kits like these. No such thing as a bolt on performance exhaust as I recall. It was 30 year ago and around that time ... things were always ... um ... kinda hazy.

I see people breaking their necks to check out my Nismo on a daily basis!

Yes you could, I helped install one on an E21 BMW. Man that was biatch! Then again I was a wee lad also at the time.

I had an MGB. I could find KITS but they all required welding. My El-Camino was the same way. In betwixt those, I was married to that biatch! Never had money for fun stuff. She kept spending it on stupid knick-knack sh!t for the house we couldn't afford. Or drinks at the bar. Luckily she found some other poor sap at the bar to put up with her.

Life is much better now. :tup:

True Dat, they did indeed require welding. Sorry I as per usual failed to comprihend that part ;)

I read someplace that welding is the number one reason for divorce. But that might have been solely among welders...I didn't read it that closely.
:p

I always let the pro's handle the welding. Maybe THAT was the problem? However, my current research might indicate otherwise. I don't weld now and the second marriage has lasted 20+. Hope this doesn't jinx it.

A lot of good and bad. More attention towards a car than I am use to. I bought the car for myself, but I can see why people say it's an eye turner and panty dropper. Just be caureful with people trying to race you or do harm to your car off and while on the road

this happens quite a bit. Even on the way home today, I had a mustang GT bob and weave thru traffic to catch up.. then to bob and weave some more to get ahead of me. I could tell he was trying to race...because the min he passed me and I did not try to keep up, he slowed down.

Best thing so far, is I have had cops pull up alongside @ a light and compliment the car.

Attention!?
 

My Z gets lots of attention. I marvel at it in the morning, dust it off a little later. Then drive like a mad man in the afternoon.
Cheers,

In my experience, the Z gets the most attention from people who don't know anything about cars. - As with most things when you get older, if someone doesn't know what they are talking about, it is probably not worth your time to care about their opinion. ha ha.

I try to promote the appreciation and camaraderie as much as I can in the z community, I get haters and fans of all sorts, I've had kids say it was their dream car, had a cop pull me over just to admire and even a 5.0 mustang tell me it was a gorgeous car... At the end of the day I got the car of my dreams and could care less what anyone thinks but I do catch a lot of looks and I admit it feels pretty awesome
