do you ever forget...?
I get thumbs up, smiles and "great looking car" from strangers, always forgetting I'm driving the Z. Maybe because I'm so used to it being my daily ride that I totally forget how unique this vehicle is to the mere mortals...just saying

All the time! I remember the first day driving it home I had the biggest smile on my face not only because I just got a Z, but because as I looked around people were breaking their necks looking at it lol. It's pretty easy to forget once you get used to the car, you just become numb to it I guess.

Never noticed too many stares until I actually started modding. With amuse, a drop, wheels, headlights, etc, etc, etc its starting to become a piece of art but before that... Nothing neck breaking.
My s2k used to get way more looks stock for stock than the Z, thats for sure

I just bought mine a month ago, so I haven't forgot yet. I went to Lowes's last week and was walking to the entrance and young man was exiting the store and was looking at the car. He stared and said, "Man that thing is sick! Can I take a picture?" :-)

Apparently mortals can't go to their local bank and get financed for $30k.

......and then you have to deal with stupid mustang, camaro, and charger owners who because of their ugly @$$ v8's want to prove a point to compensate for their ugly cars. You guys know what I mean

Yesterday I drove up to my friend's house and back and people were driving like idiots, nearly swerving into me, passing me then slowing down, coming up next to me and then pacing me... Then I realized it's because of my sweet-*** car. People can't stop looking at it instead of driving. It's like my car creates its own traffic hazards.
I need an uglier car. |

I've only had mine for several weeks by now. But in my last truck, I got a lot of compliments and people stopping me to talk about it. (it was a bright red tacoma x-runner).
I guess I might just be used to people staring that I don't notice it much... However, I thought it was funny when I went to get the oil changed and have them wash/wax the Z that they all stared at it and a customer bringing in his Jeep wondered over to it to get a closer look... I snapped a shot of it. |

The wheeel wells and undercarriage look clean ..pics to come like I promised on the "winter beater" post
