Getting the picture? Do you really think that because you got a Z no-one else you know can get one now? Grow up.

Besides, you should take it as a compliment that he's following your example.

:iagree:

dude, rejoice in the fact he's getting the same car as you. bosses should have better cars than their employees. They gave you a job. Use it as something you guys have in common, to your advantage.

When I bought my Z, the comparable Cayman S was another $10k. Sorry for being a pleb, but $10k is a significant amount of money to me. Info said the 370z was raw and more powerful. Maintenance on a Porsche is supposedly torturous. So, I bought the Z. But I'd love to know just how green the grass is on the other side.

I hear ya on that; but it's been my experience that the only reason why 'the grass is greener on the other side is bc of more sh!t' ;)

In the end; you guys have some really nice rides overall but in the end; depending where you are and as time passes the ride will become more and more common. For instance you can get a fully loaded G 6MT for less than a Honda Accord; that being said....they are becoming the new Civic; but....I still LOVE my ride (although I would trade her in for a 370z 6MT most days of the week)

well no... but if you're in a management position and aren't making close to 6 figures i feel bad for you. i'm making decent money with no degree or certifications, just experience. :happydance:

mmmmkay. so after sleeping on it, it doesn't bother me so much anymore. i don't really feel a need to butter up my boss because i'm confident enough that my work will speak enough for me. so i guess we'll just see what happens and i'll just have more incentive to wax and polish my car more often then

I understand how it can bum you out to see so many people with your ride and all. I get that but that is where modding comes in. I think you have a couple of options (other than the obvious of not worrying about it)

1. Tell him about the G37 and how they are comparable except with a backseat and a little bit more room. It's a nice blend of luxury and speed; he's probably not aware how both platforms are 'similar' and all; probably not even aware of the G to begin with ;)

2. Embrace the idea of him getting the same car as you and look to show him things about it that he might not be aware of. It will make you look good and it will allow for you to share something that you really enjoy...your ride.

You could drop some casual remark about how anyone can buy a car, but driving skill . . . not so much. ;)

good call. ive been in 3 car accidents in my life, 2 of them were with him driving.(luckily all just fender benders) so yeah, i think i could take him haha :driving:

This is why I started modding my Z the moment I bought it.. I like my car to be unique and I knew other 370Z's would appear on the streets as time went by..

I like what I've done so far and I believe it stands out from other 370Z's that I've seen around.. Hopefully I'll be able to accomplish the remaining plans I have to simply make it one of a kind..

Then you are very lucky IMHO. I dont know anyone who is making 6 figs personally, and many of them have college degrees and are well established.

It seems like you really didn't want to settle for the Base model but that's how it turned out for you. I know the feeling, because my 350 was a base model and all my buddies had the fully loaded ones. I really wanted to get the enthusiast model but at the time that was what I could afford. The reality is, no one really knows what model you have(besides Z enthusiasts). It's all in your head man. Besides, once you drop it and buy some rims and a few other accessories you'll be able to set yourself apart.
