370z stock

Using words like "hella" would suggest an STI or an Evo may be more appropriate for you. I've unfortunately seen some YouTube videos of Z owners who speak like that

C'mon now. "Hella" is how we do in Cali. It's the surfer/skater culture. Don't knock it just cause it ain't yours.

If I said 'hella' to one of my patients, I'd lose that person as a patient. My wife would probably divorce me too.

Heh-heh, sure! But he used it on a comment board, not in his professional life. I think that's ok.

I'm amazed how some Z owners think so highly of themselves, so much that using the word "hella" puts you in some sort of class. Owning a 370Z does not make you better than anyone. Besides, Porche and Merc owners say that exact same thing about us on their forums...think about that.

I don't think he is thinking highly of himself because he owns a Z. He said he wouldn't say that to one of his patients. That would indicate he is a doctor or in the medical field. And for that he may think more highly of himself. And I would too.

It is not about being a Z owner and I don't necessarily think all that highly of myself. However, use of a phrase like "hella", coupled with some folks' obvious inability to put together an actual sentence definitely makes a statement. I defer comment on whatever Porsche and Mercedes owners may say. I am not into that master race stuff.
