Best Red Light Questions
 

I was sitting in my '04 Nissan 350z once and had a guy pull up in a Honda. The light was taking unusually long and I noticed out of the corner of my eye he was staring at me. When I finally made eye contact he looked at me and said "Nice car, is that the Nissan with the V8?".

I face palmed pretty hard

Was wondering if you guys had any funny dumb questions/stories about things people have said/asked about your Z.

a redneck in a massive truck next to me said something similar about 3 weeks ago, him: "hey boy, what kind of v8 is that? (with redneck slang)"
me: "it's not a v8 it's a v6" then he just tilted his head out if curiosity and squinted his eyes lol

Is that the new 350?:facepalm:

"Pardon me. Do you have any Grey Poupon?"

it's actually a V4

I typically get these 3:

1) does it go fast?

2) is that the new 350Z?

3) is that a porsche?

1) No
2) No
3) Why, yes! Yes it is!

Why won't you race me?

There's a cop behind us moron.

Not the best but certainly dumbass.

Can you do a burnout for me?

I totally would. The diff and RS3s make it a lot harder unless I'm doing a brake stand

I couldn't tell you how many times I've been asked if my Nismo was a Porsche haha

I get that alot too, but more that it looks like one rather then thinking it is

Hey neighbor!

Yes, theres a lot of rednecks around here that don't know anything outside of Duramax/Powerstroke/Cummins.

hey what's up

yeah that's why I don't go to any car clubs around here it's just civic's an diesel's

:icon17:

When I first got the Z like 4 years ago people used to ask me about it all the time. Now people just take photos of it at lights.

Twice in the past two weeks: What is that, a Porsche?

No. It's a Datsun.

When people pull up behind me they usually snap my plates... 'BVEX ###'. I thought it was fate I got that plate from the dealer

Him "Is that thing fast?"

Me: "No"

Him "It looks fast."

Last year, I had one of the regular panhandlers at an intersection on my way to work say to me, "I'm going to have to confiscate your vehicle. You know you can't drive 350Z on the street anymore, right?"

I responded, "Well, then it's a good thing I drive a 370Z." He said, "Oh $hit!" and gave a laugh :icon17:

A guy spit out his truck in the direction of my car but missed i dont know if it was meant to me an insult or what

:icon18:

when I pulled up at a grocery store and these girls out there smoking asked ...can I borrow your car?....right :driving:

Oh, you mean like this?

I was asked when I was ordering tires a long time ago (from Wal Mart) if my 240sx was a V4 or a V2

was in this redneck town and some chick in a pickup with her boyfriend or husband or cousin or stranger asked if i liked sushi.

wtf kind of question is that? :mad: i luv sushi!

One guy asked if it was a lotus..
some other teenager in a V6 mustang tried telling me how much faster his stock mustang is than the Z. He peeled off and I just shook my head.

I don't live out in the woods, but I had two redneck kids in an old hard body pull up next to me at a grocery store stop sign. The driver leaned out his window towards my Z and said "Yo, light 'em up." I couldn't help but laugh as I pulled away normally.

kids: Nice car is it fast?
Me: yha pretty fast thanks
kids: How fast?
Me: 65 mph
Kids: Thats not fast!
Me: I know but it gets there pretty fast and i dont like tickets

I had something similar when I had my 240 about 7 years ago.

also another big truck an guys in truck asked " what kind of soy sauce I was running."
my buddy in the passenger seat said idk what king of A1 u running

A 350Z rolled up next to me and was like, "You know we have the same engines."

Me: "Cool."

Him and his flat billed, sidways cap: "It's an HR."

Me: "Nice car man...", and drove off.

Moved from north of CLT to south of CLT:
Huntersville: "Nice car! Looks awesome!"
Monroe:
SRT-4 Neon drivers; *constantly rev's to get blow off to chirp*
Mustang owners (legal requirement here to have 3 Mustangs per 2 city blocks I believe): "That thing go as fast as it looks?/That thing is qui(eee)ck, no?"
Me: "Nope. Slow as d*ck."

I get some pretty stupid questions and today I got like 3 of them in a row...

1. "Why did you buy a sports car if you don't take it to the track to race it?"

2. "Why did you put aftermarket wheels on the car? It came with factory wheels"

3. "Why do you mess with the engine? Changing the engine, changes the car"

I got this prius pull up to me and ask:

"what oil should I use..??"

"Is that your car?"

I get that second one from people like my parents. :icon17:

Olive, but only if it's EXTRA Virgin, first cold pressed.

Now there's a pickup line if I ever heard it. :ugh2:

Just shows how well they pay attention, my plate reads "HER 370."

I looked at him and make sure he's not a :supergay:
