Dude, I live in Florida... FLOR-AH-DUH. They post notices on highways here called "Silver Alerts", which apparently means a cognitively impaired senior has gone astray

If she was lucid and reasonably sighted, no need for a Rascal just yet

She saw you and recognized the car so that's a good sign.

You are clearly disappointed that your expectations were not met. Maybe you should not expect too much or change your approach like say something nice about her car instead of a wave. Then again, onzedge may be onto something.

Back in NORCAL where I grew up my friends grandmother around the corner drove a bright red 300zx vert. Let's say he never heard the end of it about how smokin his GILF was driving that beauty around. I'm pretty sure she was well into her 50's but mmmmmm..mmmmm. This was also like circa 1999 ish.

For many people a car is just a car, not a brotherhood. I hardly see 370s on the road here. I met someone that lives in my neighborhood (only 373 homes) with a Monterey Blue coupe and I have the roadster in MB. I pulled in his driveway and tried to drum up a conversation. He was like "it's a pretty cool car, nice to meet you. See ya."

A lot of people where I live are native from NYC and are just like Londoners, boring stuck up farts with attitudes to boot.

Generally, when people approach me in public I assume they want something from me, perhaps my car, my wallet, or maybe just a handout.

I don't really engage these people that much.

If a guy with a Z pulled up like that and said "Nice car" I'd say thanks and that would be it. I don't really enjoy that "Hey you and me bought the same car, so we should be friends" thing.

You know who shouldn't own a Z? Immature kids that drive like a**holes, cut their mufflers off and straight pipe, and plasti-dip their 'rims' because they're cheap. Sadly as our cars depreciate, this will be more common. Case in point, the 350z.

I'd rather have her own the Z.

Oh yeah especially when it's "those guys" i.e. "stance kids" with the "Hey bro nice car what mods you got planned man you should debadge and everyone will think it's a 911, that's what people always ask me."

Go away, kid, you bother me.

I hella agree.

Maybe the arthritis in her shoulder prevents her from waiving pain-free?

Virtual · 08-16-2014, 11:47 AM

Yea she probably acted like a cun+, but the forum must have to make up for a small amount of Z owners in real life. I felt like the Z cars were the frs/brz before they existed, meaning a lot of people bought them for looks and then there were the enthusiasts after. If that makes sense, its like the people that buy the frs/brz cause they look cool, and then there's those guys that bought it cause they handle well or whatever that cars good at lol.

Codename067 · 08-17-2014, 03:59 PM

Its half/half when it comes down to the Zs I see. Some dont look, some do and do nothing, and some of the ones that look throw a thumbs up or a head nod or something.
