Red370 · 03-18-2010, 09:50 PM

I have twice actually, one from an old lady and from a high school kid

I was driving to the mall today to get some clothes for this date I have tomorrow with this insanely hot chick, just had to add that, and some guy in a IS250 comes flying up on my a$$, and im thinking, ugh, here we go again, then he pulls alongside me, 4 people in the car were gawking in every which way at Roxy, then I got 2 thumbs up, put a big smile on my face, love this car man.

Took the car to work today and on the way home (2 lane hwy 65MPH) I roll up behind a stock UGLY VW Golf. He starts douching around changing speeds and now cars are passing us on the right (I CAN'T STAND THIS). Then he throws something out his moonroof which nearly clips my car, he's lucky it was a wrapper and not something more solid. So I get fed up and while in 6th give it gas and pass him on the right. I accidentally realize I'm doing 100 and ease up now that I put some distance between us. Sure enough he rolls up and starts pacing and leading a bit. This crap just pisses me off. Like what's the point of pacing me? I don't like cars driving directly besides me no matter what! Even when I'm in my Jeep. I look over (which I usually don't do) just because I want to see these goofs and laugh in their face. 2 dudes in the car looking dead ahead all serious. I just shook my head and slowed up to 60MPH and they couldn't take it anymore. I resisted because I'm still babying her during break-in but I just don't understand why people need to feel the urge to drive like idiots around the Z. It's an amazing night and day difference when I drive the Z and the Jeep. Sometimes it's just nice to drive around in the Jeep and not draw so much attention.

Were they actually talking about a Porsche parked next to your 370z?

Because they look nothing alike, but then again most people don't know much about cars

I would take it as a great compliment as Porsches do look beautiful and expensive so it is all good

True, it'd take a someone who's full-retard regarding cars...but the overall shape (mainly, the side profile) definitely reeks of a Porsche shape.

Either way, they were an idiot though lol.

Vegitto-kun · 03-19-2010, 06:08 AM

the 370Z's shape is porscheish it too be honest

m4a1mustang · 03-19-2010, 06:11 AM

Had a guy at a light a few months back ask me if my car was the new Z. He asked what the number was and told me it looked like a Porsche.

Just say it's Aston Martin's Japanese cousin: Astonu Martin-san
