What type of attention do you attract with your car?

darkphantom · 06-05-2015, 03:02 PM

So, most of you know that within a week of owning the car, a jackass almost ran me off the road causing me to get into an accident.

Fast forward to today, I was at a signal light, did not burn out or anything of the sort, shifted from first at around 3k, from 2nd around 3k or so...eventually going to 4th at around 40mph...

I'm accelerating past this Nissan Pathfinder, not being a douche or anything of the sort (slow pass at probably 40-45mph) - as I pass him up, I notice him flicking me off!!

So, this has me concerned, am I getting the wrong type of attention with the car?? I have the Ark Grip V2s which are not even that loud!

This has led me to ask - what type of attention do you attract with your car? Thumbs up? flick offs? nothing?

I've only had my Z for a month and haven't had any bad attention yet but maybe I'm just lucky, where do you live?

BC416 · 06-05-2015, 03:10 PM

Damn dude, sorry to hear you haven't been having the nicest experiences so far with the Z. I haven't had anyone flip me off or anything like that. Mostly just thumbs ups, questions about the ride, compliments.

Its a mixed bag, most people will stare but then you have those haters that are gonna do what ever they can to make your day that much worse just out of jealousy

I have this wicked old dude that's a Dr who keeps pestering me about my Z's mods.

This other guy talks non-stop about his custom modded Lay-Z-Boy that he cleans more than motors.

Never thought I'd be the guy to say this, but I have 3 different occasions or girls acting crazy at stop lights. Then I get stares and a bunch of guys trying to be ********. One truck being a ****, then just ricer flybys by acura TL's or being 'chased' by some ricers. I believe my young age contributes to this though(23).

Occasionally someone will walk up to me while pumping gas and shoot the breeze for a few minutes. No hate so far.

I create my own scenes....I get it all from being paced to stares to thumbs up to people wanting/trying to hate. My Z has a name and its RUDE!

JC-Nismo · 06-05-2015, 03:18 PM

No stock car is visually appealing to me and the Z is no exception, but a Z with lowered suspension and a set of bad *** wheels is probably dollar for dollar the best looking sports car once it's modded. I get it everywhere every time I drive it which is a bit of a surprise because my SRT and M3 never got this much attention and there modded as well. All positive though so no complaints here.
