What type of attention do you attract with your car?

Z_ealot · 06-06-2015, 02:02 AM

Had this happen to me today....Driving the speed limit, lifted truck come flying up behind me and tails me for a few blocks, finally he gets an opening to pass me and proceeds to flip me off as he passes

Only had mine for a little over a month. In that time, a few folks have come over to get a closer look at gas stops. On the road, several Camaro's, Mustang's, WRX's have pulled up alongside and tried to get me to race. I'm an old man and I don't play those young punk games. I just ignore them and carry on, minding my own business.

Only happens at stoplights. When those honda civics stop next to me. They start Reving the **** out of their fart can like no fking tomorrow. I just sit back and laugh.

Lights turn green, their car goes massive aggresive fart can. If you close your eyes you would think damn their car is fast with like 600hp and they slamming that pedal. Then you open your eyes to only see them going like 10mph.

Another story is when I go pick up younger cousins from school, I guess you can call them tini boppers. The kids there start screaming out "I LOVE YOUR CAR." I prefer people my age screaming that but I'll take all the compliments.

Lastly, when I drive by other Z's. I always want to thumbs up them but I feel a little embarrassed. Then I drive by and get a really good look at the driver and see a grandma driving which i assume their son/daughter/grandkid's car. I once gave a thumbs up and got mugged. Never again. Never. Again.

Wait what??

AngelNismo · 06-06-2015, 10:58 PM

Every time I see a mustang, camaro, honda coupe, if the traffic permits, I'm going to get at them ASAP. If traffic doesn't permit I'll drive defensively and watch as other people flip them off for trying to provoke me lol.

not the jumped-style type of mugged.

Reading some of the responses, lucky that I live in Hawaii, only positive comments and actions by other people/drivers.

MyZ4U2C · 06-06-2015, 11:56 PM

3rd day of getting a compliment in a row here!

tnav · 06-07-2015, 12:10 AM

People stare at the wheels for some reason, they are stock 19s, I think they look great since the car is lowered and has a nice fat tires 275/305

Yep, I think the red calipers make it stand out!

As for the civics trying to race, does that really still happen??

Oh yes, that really still happens. Come to think of it, crazies have been trying to race me for years when I am driving a Z. I don't care to partake in the douche baggery myself. I keep running into a 350z roadster on the way home that tries to race. Observing him weaving in and out of traffic I have come to the conclusion it continues to be the right decision.
