No, the criminal that shot the gun did... And whether some young douchebag with enough money to buy a used sports car chooses to be a douche in a Z or a Mustang is really up to chance.

The fact is I encounter douchebag drivers on a daily basis, and sometimes they are in a Z, sometimes a Mustang, BMW, etc... but a douchebag is a douchebag and it doesn't matter what car they drive. If a douchebag Mustang driver traded his car in on a Z that's not going to change how he drives... however it might change how he is perceived by his own kind... just sayin'.
Brother please don't get it twisted. I don't blame the hunk of metal on the road by any means. I do blame the driver inside. All I'm saying is, the car does tend to attract a certain type. I never came across a Z33 dbag but I have met some G35 dbags and I used to own one of those as well as G37. I really don't like the G37 crowd. They are way different from the G35 crowd. It doesn't mean I hate G37's. I went to the Z because I hadn't owned a 2 seater in a decade. I wanted one again. You feel more connected to the road. The Z crowd is a mixed bag too. Plenty of Aholes in our thing. But, I'm not talking about our thing now. We are talking about the outsiders. You know... "your people". Lol.
