How much attention does your Nismo get?

When I was pulling out of the gas station earlier this morning, a couple of teenage guys in a Altima or Maxima pulled in and gave me a thumbs up.

When I was pulling out of the gas station earlier this morning, a couple of teenage guys in a Altima or Maxima pulled in and gave me a thumbs up. I felt kinda bad because I was trying to get across the road which has tons of traffic on it so I didn't even acknowledge them, lol.

I picked up a bit to eat after playing golf today and parked way far off in the corner of the parking lot as I usually do. After getting my food, I walk out to see that a nice SUV had parked right next to me, which annoyed me just a bit. But as I am walking out there I see a couple of older women getting out and congregating around my Z like they were studying a painting at a museum. When I get to my car they were making nice comments and asked what a NISMO was. The guy (presumably one of the husbands of the ladies) in the SUV gave a compliment and said something along that lines that parking next to me ensured that he wouldn't have any door dings...and he gave me plenty of space which was cool. As I drove out of the parking lot one of the ladies just wanted to admire while in motion; I don't blame her

I went to go see Total Recall today. As I was coming out of the theater and getting in my Z, an older couple walked by and I heard the guy say to his wife, "a Porsche"??, and I'm not 100% sure but I believe her reply was, "no I think its a Bimmer".. Lol. I guess they couldn't read my blacked out hamburger with the word 'Nissan' on it, lol.

Oh by the way, the Arnold version was better

Thats funny. You just reminded me of something similar happened to me.

I was leaving this Mexican Restaurant here in Bakersfield with a friend of mine. He wanted to see my car. I parked away from everyone but behind me was a bus stop. As I was showing my friend my car, This black guy black guy comes up to me asking me if it was my car. I told him yes it is. He starts walking around it, saying "Yo man, you should get those doors that open up like a Lambo ya know!" He just kept circling the car asking me if it gets its speed on. Telling me to take care of it and then had to leave cause the bus was leaving. It was a little funny. He was a nice guy. He shook my hand before taking off too.. when he left he was telling his girl, " See, I told you it gets its speed on! "

awesome...

Won best in class today at a (small) show. Really just wanted to drink and talk cars with people - had no expectations whatsoever. Lots of love at the show, then had to give an impromptu speech about nissan, the Zcar lineage and the GT-R/Skyline at a gas station on my way home to an audience of gas station employees and sketchy dudes wearing wifebeaters hanging around outside.

when I had the 09 solid red nismo I can't even count how many times I was asked "what yearis your Porsche?"

so hopefully the new magma red on my 13 will put a stop to that insult lol

I've had mine a few weeks now, and it just breaks necks! Sometimes I'm at a four way stop sign - I'll wave another car through before me, and they won't move... they just want to keep looking at the car. You can kind of tell the expression... "WHAT IS THAT!"

Love this car.

Not for the attention, just because it really is special.

When i got my oil changed at nissan, the girl who was helping me said it was amazing and was staring at it saying she can only dream of having one. Then three dealer employees went out of their way to say nice car and congrats (?), as i was picking it up. I was being bombarded lol.

Hey NissanGuy, I think my GF was checking you out in your car the other day hahaha. She came over and said she saw the exact same car as me so she was looking at it hardcore to see if it was me only to soon realize it wasn't. She said she never saw somebody else with that same car and I immediately knew it had to be you. Just thought it was funny

I few weeks back a couple of teenagers were walking past and said "Look! It's a Nismo" and gave me a thumbs up! Also at Boardwalk Nissan I was bombarded with employees looking at my car. This thing really does look exotic! Nismo FTW!

they want some vanilla in thier coffee? lol



My 07 is on jacks right now for some upgrades....


Still all my neighbors kids (boys) come to my door, no sh!t just to ask if I'm going to work on her today. One day I came out to a this on my windshield.


Moments like that always reassures me that it was, and still is a great car/buy. Even if I haven't driven it in months. The idea behind the Z, more so the Nismo model is something special!
fuct and shadoquad like this.
