the chicks

marcussoori · 03-30-2009, 08:06 PM

My GF doesn't like the car! She likes the exterior at least a bit, but hates the noise, the ride, and the seats.

The seats in the Base 370Z are different: the driver's side can raise and lower the front and rear parts of the seat cushion, while the passenger side can't. As a result, my GF, who has long legs, has no leg support, and thus only one point of lower body contact with the seat.

Does anyone know why the passenger side seats are like this, and how to make it more comfortable? Are the Touring seats the same way?

Thanks

My wife likes it a LOT better than my Evo IX. She always said she felt like she was going to prom in it.

It's the opposite for me, I use to own a 2008 Acura TL (I'm 25) and she said "what are you 30 years old driving a sedan?"

She absolutely love my chicane yellow Z but still mad at me for getting a manual instead of AT lolz

Yeah I was behind a 09 TL today and I was like WTF? I honestly thought the whole panel was some aftermarket kit until I saw the dealer's invoice/msrp tag on the side window. I was quite familiar with the front since I've been bombarded with them on the internet but they don't have much pic of the front. :d

My gf likes the car, just not the fact that I have it.

I parked my car yesterday and a couple was making out nearby. The gal was hot in her tight jeans and long hair flowing in the breeze. When I came back the dude was trying to lead her somewhere by the arm, and she was staring at my car resisting his pulling and tugging. I wished I had my camera but the memory of her rear end next to my Z's rear end lingers on.

Ah, that familiar story: Boy gets girl, girl sees Z, boy loses girl!

jpritche · 12-14-2010, 09:56 PM

Haha, I got my Z for graduation, a few months before I met my girl. Her parents and us were going to meet her friends to eat, and her dad was going to drive his brand new SRT-8 Challenger, and she refused saying she wanted to show up in the Z because it is "hella gorgeous" haha, I was like umm ok lets go.

P.S. Her dad's response, "yeah yours looks better, but if you ever wanna a$$ whippin we can race!" He just confessed a few weeks ago that he wishes he would have bought a 370z instead of his challenger, complaining about the lack of fun while driving.

Accept the challenge, but set the terms: the race must last at least 300 miles (gf's Dad is only getting 13-15 MPGs).

Thanks

Been showing some girls pix of a 370Z online, asked a few about it at work, when I was thinking about getting one. Most girls are either neutral or like it, and 1 or two said it looked "cute".

Saw one on the street next to me at a light. Rolled down the window to compliment the car as it really does look nicer in person. Said I'm trading mine in for one and I'm just waiting for it to arrive in a couple weeks and I can't wait. The guy gave me this weird look and drove off. Maybe cuz I'm in a GTR. Oh wells.

Who cares what "chicks" think. Buy it, drive it because YOU like it.

My wife prefers her s2000 but admits the Z is a sexy looking car. Which is good for me because I don't want her touching my car
