Nothing will save you from these Mormons who seem to believe that God somehow guides their car for them through the sheets of ice and banks of snow

And alot of them are on post, soldiers are getting paid well today. But El Paso also has 13 GTRs running around too so there are some well to do people here by the border. I wonder why?
Oh yeah! Location def. matters as well.

I'm not saying these cars can't get expensive...they are just available for cheap mainstream access as well. My cousin has a fully loaded camero so I know they can be expensive as well but the base model is available for mainstream access for a lot of these american muscle cars.

Around here, mustangs are just too common. I see one every road I am on...and each time the driver is a retired husband and wife. Now around my university, I see beast vehicles left and right...but that just comes with the territory.

I see 30k+ cars all the time as well but most of those are mercedes, lexus, and bmw (essentially family sedans). Just the other day I saw a lambo. Third time in my lifetime seeing one.

It's the same around here you see more mustangs,camaro's and challenger's than the Z.
To me the Z is still a well kept secret kinda under the radar. Plus the Z to me has always been a do i need it or want it type of car. It's a car for a select market +30 grand two seat
sports car.

I have seen two 370Z's in NW Houston since I bought mine in May. Tons of trucks, SUV's, and Mustangs (mainly pony Mustangs...fewer GT's). I am starting to see more base Camaros. There are tons of Chargers (aaargh).Dodge Ram trucks EVERYWHERE.
Thats how they roll in H Town. Fine by me, the fewer 370Z's the better IMO.

In the Uptown area of Dallas and on my drive to Plano I see a few of them everyday. When I go to other parts of the Metroplex I see them as well....We went to Oklahoma a few weeks ago and counted 5 going South on I75 at various points with 1 being a 40th.

well i went to the nissan dealer down the road last night and they have 7 sittin there on the lot, but I guess they just arent selling them. They have writing all over them for money off and how much you will pay if you buy it right now with top credit etc and nothing down. Very tempting for me but they didnt have the exact one id wana be in anyhow so im safe! lol besides, ive been eyein some of the used cars on the forums anyhow. Still, crazy to see so many on the lot! I guess they are trying to compete with 2 chevy dealerships that have prob 15 camaro's each on the lot trying to sucker the Navy guys in to buy em! lol

Saw 4 370s on the way in this morning. Bunch of Mustangs but mostly older than 2010. No 5.0s.

I live in Hawaii and just bought my 370z touring/sport. I upgraded from my '05 350z. I'm in love!

I would have to agree that the Camaros are all over the place (probably transformer fanatics . I think there are 2 other 370zs that I've seen tooling around in my neighborhood, and that's it - which is fine w/me!
