How are people reacting...
 

I'm just your average if there is such a thing Z lover.:icon18: I have always loved the Z every since those black 300 ZX commercials that came on Monday night football where I was more excited about them then the game. I have had a used 300 twin turbo and was blessed to be able to purchase a new 09 red 370 which I love. I'm have worked hard to get it and wish I could do many of the mods that I seen some of the member here are doing but right now I do what I can do... I try very hard to take good care of it...
My question is how are people on the street reacting to the car. I notice that some people seem to be bothered by the car. I mean I'm driving on the interstate and I may pass a mini van. The next thing I know...they are going by me. The same in regular traffic...its like they are saying, "I bet that guy thinks he is all that in that 370Z..how dare he pass me!":shakes head: It seems to happen alot. And I have not even said anything about the kids who always want to race.... I have read that many people say they get a lot of positive attention and looks. I get some but I the other as well.... There are not many 370Z in my area....
Are you getting those kind of reactions on the road?:ugh2:

Yes. I think the fact that yours is red amplifies it, too.

I get that sometimes from middle aged bald guys driving minivans.

Its quite sad that he chose his way of life and not happy with it.

I get people stopping and talking to me all the time since iver owned the car...when i had my Audi, people just went in the opposite direction, the Z is a car that goes back in time, and this Z is very similar to the 240's of yesteryear just as beautiful. on my road there are a couple Datsun's and whatnot mostly owned by a crowd in there late 30's - 50's and that is mostly the general range of people that i have walk up to me. They all ask for rides too...but thats not going to happen at least until i know them well enough to be comfortable...

I get big arse lifted trucks wanting to race me all the time. It's funny. I usualy get stares and they look at my front wheels when is stop and go traffic.

In this world - you are almost born into your fortune. So dont say its sad he chose his way of life - maybe he was forced into it!

Yup i get it all the time.

I usually look on driver's side mirror and know that the car behind me is checking out my Z. I slow down and let them pass but I don't turn my head to look at them, but I know that they're checking me out.

But somehow i know when a chick is checking out my Z. I turn my head suddenly, make eye contact with her, and smile. She gets caught off-guard and is like doesn't know what to do.

I do get a lot of punk-azz mustangs and civics that try to engage me in a race. They always rev their engine at the red lights. i don't know why, maybe they're jealous.

had a maybe mid 30's baldin asian guy with in a new 911 just stare me down as we slooooowwwwly passed each other (going opposite ways) in bumper bumper traffic. I mean from when he saw me to when we passed was prolly 45 seconds.. and he didnt look away once.. .. i dunno what peoples problems is..

My problem is the punks trying to street-race. My car has a ton in suspension and handling mods. So the kid who pulls up in moms SUV to which he has hooked a nitrous system to and then starts to talk crap...grrr

Anyways most people seem to enjoy the car and i have tons of people coming up to me and asking me about it. 99% of what i see / hear is positive.

I had a fat bald and what appeared to be short white guy in a white trans am tail gating me HOPING i would do something. I was just looking to drive to work not cause a accident or go to jail haha.

he was probably thinking the same thing!

Whenever I see a minivan, I think of this Navy commercial:

YouTube - Navy Minivan Recruiting Commercial

WGW

ehhhh whhhooooo cares! It does happen, but if you really wanted to they couldnt catch you anyways...most of my reactions have been positive...except a couple of big texas trucks guys who think they own the road...suprisingly enough a guy in a REAL truck gave me thumbs up (the new Ford Raptor) that truck is awesome

i wasnt staring at him tho.. his head was turned and all that.

:icon14: that sounds like some loser cry baby with his/her 'poor little me' whiny crap.

get over that shittage and do something good for youself. you only live once.
