Would this make you mad?

Hey, I'd be a lot more concerned if he were to sleep with your fiancee, while you're at your bachelor party, and then he appears at your wedding with the same tux as you. That's something to really worry about!

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there!

They are super rare here in Buffalo, where its all cameros and stangs. Hopefully I'll have one by the end of summer and it will have the sports package so i'm going to one up ya! I think it would be cool to have your boss get one...if he was more of an enthusiast which it sounds like hes not. Sounds like he saw your sweet ride and now he wants one knowing nothing about the Z.

i don't mind seeing other people with better models than mine. i'd love for my friend who i do car stuff with all the time to get a Z instead another random dodge car. but yeah, like you said, in buffalo Zs are really rare. I still don't like the idea of having to park my car all summer in the same lot in the shadow of the slightly better Z. Although theres no doubt mine will be nicer and better taken care of in the long run. I have an 04 celica and even with that, i like being able to go days without seeing anyone without my car.

Feel a little 1^ed?
I wouldnt worry about it. It will give you good conversation once he gets "the bug". Plus, its never bad to be on the bosses good side, he does write your checks

Colbizle · 05-03-2011, 06:08 PM

errrm... I wouldn't say anything.. especially if it's your boss. I mean come on.. It's your BOSS. The dude could fire you if he wanted right? Why get on his bad side?

Also think of it this way. You both have Zs all the more he can talk to you about it and get advice from you making your relationship better. Meaning more brown nosing and better pay? Right?

I seriously understand what you are talking about OP. I had a friend that literally did EVERYTHING I did. So I killed him.

wilsonp · 05-03-2011, 07:24 PM

I have a Touring Sport+Nav 7AT - do you feel one-upped? Oh, and its Black + Persimmon - pretty rare!

If you want to be the only one, you should have gotten an NSX. Not counting VIR, I saw two others in ten years of ownership in my town. I can hardly stand the other 370Z I see once a month.

At least its a roadster.

OTOH, just because you see another one every day doesn't make your car that much more common - yours will still be the only one most people see that day.

To the OP...

As long as you have a bigger &%$@ it won't matter...

I can't help but be mad about it, i want to say something to him but i also don't want to come across as an *******. Hes a great guy and i have huge respect for him but its not something where we would work on our cars together or anything. He's not a car guy at all either. He told me the Zs only come in black(mine isn't black) and didn't know they even switched to the 370z. I don't want to be an ******* but i think if he got one it would kinda ruin it for me. What does everyone think if they were in my shoes?

he wants a sports car(more like his wife does) GT-R is too much but he did talk about liking porsche a lot too.

"I got a Z and now my boss wants a Z. Waaah, waah, waah."

"He's not a car guy. Waaah, waaah, waaah."

"He doesn't even know they switched to the 370. Waaah, waaah, waaah."

"It's his wife who really wants the Z. Waaah, waaah, waaah."

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.

New rims + Amuse kit = problem solved

True that!

Nobody else at my company has a Z and since I'm the boss and control salaries...I'm safe.

We've got 2 of the big Bosses here who own sports cars

1 vette and 1 Porsche Cayman

You can be envious-these aren't their only cars

bottom line is the Boss should be able to outspend you and

really should drive a nicer car, don't you think?

If it bugs you, go get a Mustang GT

11Thumper · 05-03-2011, 08:27 PM

Get one of these. He'll be crying with jealousy...
