How do most of you guys drive your Zs? Drive too fast/aggressive, and people think you're a self-righteous douche. Drive obnoxiously slow, and people will think you're... well, a self-righteous douche LOL!
Maybe you bought the car for its performance, so it would be a shame to cruise around just doing the speed limit? Maybe you don't want to waste your hard earned money by putting your car at risk with spirited driving?
We all make assumptions. I don't doubt that 'haters' exist out there. Me? I drive pretty beat looking cars, but I take reasonably good care of them. If I spot a Z, I get a little excited since I think it's a gorgeous car and still a pretty rare sight, even here in SoCal.
From some of these replies, I know a lot of you guys would get 'rubbed' the wrong way if I followed (not tailgated) you for a bit, or heaven forbid, park next to you, because I admired your car!  |

The smallest mis-interpreted action can generate outrageous responses, especially in today's "it's all about me" society. Anyone driving a nice car, especially a heavily modded one, is going to draw attention to themselves, both good and bad.

Well, speaking for myself, I do not think that how I drive is the main issue here. I follow the speed limits and traffic laws about 97% of the time. Which means I try my best to follow the speed limit, I make sure I indicate when im merging or switching lanes, I dont tailgate, (well not purposely anyways), but I do admit I speed up on the freeway sometimes, on the weekends when im out, or just with other friends we like to go for a drive or whatever, so yeah im in a happy medium between driving too fast/aggressive and too slow/cautious, yet there seems to be some person who decides they have to make a fool of themselves, why? I don't know it could be a combination of many of the factors already discussed, but I doubt its because of my driving habits.
