Wow, you're gonna wear the paint away. And, are you married or have a girlfriend? If so, you have a very understanding mate.

He must be breaking in his Cayman or thinking what a nice looking Sentra.

5. 3 Young girls(18-25 years) and a guy was crossing the street as I stopped at the light. Guy gave me :tup: while the girls approved the Z by smiling and pointing to it.

And not even 1 of the girls flash for you?

1. A guy in a Prius wanted to race me.

2. I waved to 350Zs, but not one waved me back, so i stopped waving to them. Now they must think i'm a snob in a 370z.

3. I have never seen another 370Z while i'm driving one, but i've seen a lot of Z while i'm driving my DD.

4. people at gas stations stare at my Z. few came and talked to me.

5. 370Z look awesome in motion on the freeway.

6. When we see a Porsche 911, my wife said, "I like your Z's butt better. It's nicer than that car."

I got my 370Z when it just came out January 2009. I was speeding 85mph on 880 highway in Fremont, CA. A highway patrol pulled right next to me from nowhere. I thought I was going to get a ticket but he gave a thump up & a smile instead. Unlike these days, damn cops give us tickets on every little things just to make up their lost revenues instead of fighting crimes.

my indian neighbor down the street invited himself into my cave while i was working on the Z... looked at my silver 370Z and looked at my silver G35C and said 'why you have the 2 exact same car, why?'

i kicked him out of my garage. :mad:

I had a recent unique experience with someone driving a 350Z. He was acting really excited to be in his car, like a kid driving his parents' sports car for the first time, and asked me where I got my mods for my 350 lol. I simply answered with "Nissan" to which he remarked that he didn't know they did car mods. I don't know if I should chalk that up to young innocence, or foolish ignorance. I just chuckled and went along my way.

Since Isamu already revived and quoted this old post I'll add to it. Last night I stopped at a subway for a sandwich when one of the employees was taking a smoke break. He commented on how much he liked the car, what year was it and where I got the body kit. I told him it came like that from the factory and I walked inside. He later came in and told his coworker "dude did you check out his 350z it's sweet" I didn't want to sound like a snob so I didn't correct him.

ohhh!! im the only 370z in Minot, and as far as I can tell the only Nismo in all of ND

While travelling through Nova Scotia last summer, I was flying up a hill in a passing lane...when I hit the crest, there was a RCMP cruiser parked facing me on the other side of the hiway. I glanced at my speedo and I was going 100 mph. YIKES!...good thing he had someone already pulled over there. Whew!

Since getting my Z last July, I've only seen two others on the road here in Ontario so far...funny, but awesome to be so exclusive.

My GF (soon to be wife) doesn't really care what I do to my car. We pay for our stuff separate but pay for the stuff we share 50/50. I suppose that's why she doesn't care.

Car washes in Michigan are pretty cheap. I pay 40 dollars for an unlimited package per month. The Carwash is across the street from where I work so it's not out of the way. I just like to keep the road grime and salt off my car.

Trying to get a better look
 
That must explain my experiences. Since trading my Pathfinder, I find a significantly larger number of people on my rear bumper, (trying to get a closer look?) or pulling out in front of me (trying to get a closer look?) and this never happened when I was in my larger vehicles. Driving side by side a red 350Z in my red 370 was a cool experience.

the car or stares at it........
