Is it a conspiracy against the Z?
 

I'm not much of a paranoid guy (at least I don't think so. Did someone say I was? Were you talking about me?!?), but I had about the 10th close call (accident-wise) with a junker of a vehicle. This morning it was some POS Dodge pickup with part hanging off. I was turning right at a light, he was turning left. He clearly say me as I began the turn, and made no attempts to slow or stop. I had to really gun it to get ahead of him (props to my Hankook all seasons!:tup:).

This happens every coupe of weeks. Some mess of a car parks too close, tailgates, etc.

Does this happen to anyone else?

all the time, you basically have to drive like every other person on the road is a moron, because if you start to assume...accident time!

what are you talking about? everyone on the road besides Z drivers are idiots lol

It's not paranoia if they are REALLY after you.

Some mess of a car parks too close. Does this happen to anyone else? I have taken to putting orange cones around my car at work. I feel stupid doing it but My Z is like a magnet for others to park so close to it I can't open the door, in an empty parking lot.

And yes, you are paranoid! But are you paranoid enough?

LOL really!?? i would but if i got that bold people might actually spite and vandalize...people down here dont like anyone having anything better than them...

I have always thought about doing that! But I am sure people think I am weird enough when I am washing my car in the school parking lot anyway so I don't really need the extra attention.

I feel like this type of issue is going to come up with any car you really love because you are trying to look out for these types of events.

I am with you Prof Dave. EVERY time I drive my car to a client call, I almost get into an accident of some sort. I just do not get it.....

Which Hankooks are you using and how do you like them?

"Just because i'm not paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after ME" :ugh:

You're just asking for trouble with the infamous Cone Gremlins!

Might as well slap some Ferrari stickers on it while you're at it. :rofl2:

ive had like 3 close calls during the first few weeks of ownership. things have calmed down.

remember that you're in a type of car some people are jealous of... some folks will do anything to bug the hell out of you on purpose. i had this frikken dumbarse asian dood that cut me off a few weeks ago. i blew my horn thinking he didn't check his blind spot, he clearly saw me in his sidemirror after i blew and made 2 additional attemps to cut me off.

so i just slowed down and pardoned him for being a stupid arse asian driving a old civic.

i should've asked him if he likes potstickers.

Fixed^

so that was you in the civic? you arse. stay home next time. :mad:
