Ever since I purchased the Nismo 2 months ago I have noticed a big change in how people treat you. Previously, I drove a 2008 Honda Civic LX...nothing fancy, just a great commuter car. Now with the Z, I have gotten a lot more attention from people I knew but never really hung out with. I find it odd because I still act the same and treat people the same before and after the Z. Now these people I never hung out with are calling me to go hang out and asks if I want to join their car meet etc. As for another example, people at work keep asking me if I received a promotion (which I didn't). They say my family must be rich and asks me how much the car cost me (somebody thought it cost over 50k). When I tell them it wasn't expensive and cost under 30k they were shocked. I bought the Z because I've always loved the Z car and thought it was a great price for all that you get. Have you guys experienced the same thing happen to you when you got your Z?
