Nissan 370Z Forum  

Dragonflies always hover around my car.

When I'm parked in the driveway or stopped at a light, they're always around. I guess it's the blue that draws them in. I guess yellow Z owners also experience

I guess yellow Z owners also experience the same thing with insects such as bees.

Weird. I've had three hover over my hood while I was driving. I've seen more in the last week than I've seen in my life.

That is odd. I had one following me down the road yesterday. First time that's ever happened.

When my car is stationary, I always see at least three flying around. If I'm driving down a residential street under 30mph I might notice one following me.

I guess they think of Monterey Blue Zs as their little ponds and become territorial over them.

when i wash my car, it is a bug magnet, or when i do a photoshoot... really annoying... must be a 370z quirk.
