So in the last few days I've started to get the feeling that the VW GTi tuner crowd is pretty hostile.

On a side note, after having the car for a year (holy crap!) It still gets just as many double takes as when it was brand new, and children's reactions to a bright red sports car are just priceless.

The other day I was driving down a two lane road which was turning into a one lane less than 500 ft in front of me. I had a pizza delivery guy behind me in an old Honda Accord, and what does he decide to do? Floors it going into the other lane and barely gets in front of me before the lane ended.

I get that in my '04 Maxima. Around here, let them screw around. 1/4 mile later, they will most likely get pulled over... and it's happened on many an occasion. I have better things to do. :)

Seems like around here if I'm lucky enough to have a cop ahead they don't do anything anyway... Same thing with dump trucks riding the left lane... :shakes head:

Oh. That happens a lot too... especially with just the speeders... there's this one 3 lane road by me... speed limit is 45. The cops are there EVERY day. I never go above 48 on that road. People are flying by me doing at least 10+, and nobody gets pulled over. I know one day, if I decide to follow the pack, I'll get singled out. lol

And it doesn't help that I sound like:

THIS

:driving: (Oh wait... it's an auto! lmao)

gotta get there in 30 mins or less I guess.

Last night I had some dude in a beat to hell Yellow Pontiac Trans-AM with terrible body work, which is a shame because I loved that car. I guess he saw that I was the same color as him and also a Z so of course he gets right beside me and floors it. This was at night on a 3 lane highway that had construction going on...Anyway, he "speeds" past me and proceeds to slam on his brakes to avoid smashing into a slow moving car infront of him. :)

:iagree:

Do any of you find yourself looking back in awe every time you get out and walk away from it? every single freakin' time for me, my coworkers make fun of me for it. I'm in love with my Z.

Yes! My friends think I'm weird too. First day I brought it home I was looking at it while walking up the stairs to my place and hit my face on the door lol.

I've smoked in every car I've owned with the exception of this one... I just love getting out and staring at it, and watching other people driving by stop and look at it in parking lots.

i always try to be sneaky about looking back at my car but it never works

haha, i've almost ran into things many many a time, they also make fun of me because I wash and wax weekly... say I have OCD and shyt, screw em, they dont drive a Z :)

Every time I walk away from mine I do a double take. I try to be discrete about it but it never works, I'm just glad I'm not the only one with this problem.

been driving mine since last July and still do it every time, you are not alone in this my friend.
