The other day I was on the highway, there was a little kid maybe 11 in a van that his mom was driving. They stop right next to my Z, and I see the kid with this huge grin nod and give me a thumbs up. I roll the window down and give him a thumbs up, and he looks shocked / scared. Mom pulls away.
Either something disturbing was happening behind me as I lowered the window, or I have a scary face. |

LOL! I got a thumbs up last night when I was driving home from the gym. A guy in a GTI. As I pulled up, he looked at the car and then had a big smile and gave me a thumbs up like this emoji .

People not in cars usually stare. I've had people think it's a Porsche. Only had 1 car try to race me on the freeway. A scion TC LOL. Other than that it feels like the most aggressive drivers around me are always in Maximas and Altimas.

I only drove it for a week before I had to leave for work. In that week I got a lot of thumbs up, a couple nice cars, and a lot of jealousy when I took it back to the dealer for a detail.(Bought it on a Sunday and it never got done.) I had a ridicules amount of children in 240xs and civics try to race.
On the other hand my wife say she doesn't like driving it while I'm gone because people won't leave her alone. Every thing from guys hollering at her from other cars to woman telling her the wish they drove some thing like it. The Z isn't for every one, but I think it's one of the best looking cars out there. I really like the body kit on my NISMO too, just really sets it apart. |

My Z is lowered with an Amuse kit on so it gets even more attention than a stock one.
I have too many stories to tell. The weirdest one was one guy in the passenger side telling me to roll my windows down...only to tell me his girl wants to kick him out the car and whether he can ride with me...

Before I left for my deployment, I was driving back to my house, when I got on the interstate. I was behind a couple cars going slowly, so I put on my turn signal to get over to the left and pass (I should mention it was a 5 lane interstate). The truck in front of me does the same, so not wanting to be rude (and not sure he saw me), I slowed up a bit so he could get out as well. After getting over, he continues to drive slowly. So, I put on my signal again and pass him. He then speeds up, cuts behind me and then in the lane to my left, pulls up next to me and starts yelling at me (With windows up at 70 MPH??) and his wife or girlfriend or baby momma or whoever the piss she was flips me the bird. So, I dropped a gear and left them. I really have no clue what I did to warrant that.

You passed him! That's a major infraction on that guys manhood... I've had the same thing happen to me before simply for passing someone in a truck going slowly around some curves. The guy followed me to a red light and actually got out of his truck and stood at my passenger window screaming... In an intersection, with plenty of other vehicles stopped there. |

It has been happening for years, as long as I can remember. No matter what sports car I have been driving. Last edited by Spooler; 09-06-2015 at 04:11 PM. |

Ive had my z for exactly one week and it got more attention than my straight piped sti... A dude on the side of the road didnt turn his head he walked backwards to watch the car. Another guy drove through the gym parking lot threw like 8 spots just starring and today at chick fila i watched a man 60+ check out the butt, wheels, and then the inside. I think the nismo body kit is very unique and people from Pittsburgh really dont see them, I have the only one Ive seen and I had it shipped to me.

First negative attention this evening while driving through a mall like parking lot. A young guy in another Z at the intersection, I wave to him, he waves back. Then spins tires for 20 seconds with his stupid loud exhaust, scaring half the people going to the movie theater. Then I get the all the nasty looks cause I have the same kind of car. Hope that wasn't a fellow forum member.
