Drove the Z to work today. On the way, I spotted a mustang with stripes (I forgot its primary color), and in front of him was a silver 350Z. Both were in the left lane, turning left, while I was in the right lane, also turning left. When I exited my turn, I pulled up alongside the mustang, and peered over at the driver. He glanced over in my direction, and hit the gas for a short burst of acceleration, and then slowed quickly, because traffic was a little tight, and most of the lead cars had stopped at the approaching traffic light. I moved to the left lane behind the stang so that the two of us Z owners sandwiched the stang. After a short while, I moved back to the right lane, because I saw an opening where I could get alongside the 350, and give him a thumbs up. I did, but I wasn't sure whether he saw me, and I couldn't slow down with traffic behind me. It was a cool encounter, and the weather was gorgeous this morning, and it will be for the rest of the day -- sunny, 55 to 77 degrees F.
When I reached work, a fellow employee commented about how my Z is the hottest car in the parking lot. I'd say, the hottest in the county!
Anyway, he mentioned his new Lexus, and how he had never owned a luxury car before. I mentioned that I thought about buying a Lexus IS 250c, but that I changed my mind, and returned to my roots -- a Z. He agreed that that was the better choice. His Lexus is a fine car, and I'm sure that he's happy with it. That's the important thing.
Anyway, it was a good morning.
