Have you noticed?

i am poor because i drive a HondaFit to work.

phelan

i get stares, and the cops who lurk somewhere by my rear quarter panel waiting for me to start speeding. too bad i just putter along all the time, with judicious use of cruise control

it was really, REALLY funny though one time, off a stop light, i put the Z into 1st and started real slowly, the prius next to me just LURCHES forward and starts 'hauling ***' as fast as a hybrid can possible go. next light was red, and less than three blocks away, i looked over and the driver was nodding 'yeaaaaa' or something. i just laughed.

Yeah ever since I got my Z, douche bag people around me critize my car because of jealousy. They cant get over the fact that they drive a 96 civic while I drive a Z

Jamaica

whats wrong witha civic?

jaedub

oh believe me, nothings wrong with civics. Just that they know I have a sexier car, hence the jealousy. Bunch of haters I tell you....

TypeOne

I have a Civic and when I drive it I hate on Z cars. I don't know what it is.

What's the point I let them take off like a jackass. Fukin my gas ain't worth it

Apparently plenty drivers bug me more in the 370Z than the 300ZX. I've been driving it for almost a month and rarely have anyone mess with me (i.e., tailgate, cut, etc.). The only attention I got was from a '99 Firebird V6 flexing on me as he drove by. O_o

With the 370Z, people love to tailgate me. I've taken it up pretty far one time and still get tailgated. That's why one of my bumper got scratched because of a tailgater who switched over, nearly side swiped me from crossing my lane, and carelessly switching over again scraping the bumper. Then there are people do ricer flyby and cut me off thinking they've won a race. On the same stretch of road on the way to work I get cut off by people at least once a week. When they do, it's always wedging themselves between me and another vehicle up front. What a waste of time.

Going from the 300ZX to the 370Z, the 370Z definitely lacks immediate power. I can downshift and give it some gas, but it doesn't budge. So people almost always end up overpowering me and cutting me off ('97 Camry and a couple old trucks!).

Last summer I was travelling very slowly past a strip mall store front just as a woman and two kids were leaving the first row of parked cars heading towards the doors of the store.

They weren't quite ready to cross in front of me so I kept going...as I passed by, the woman loudly complained that "the a**hole in the fancy car is too good to stop for us".

I stopped a few feet further and asked her what her problem was and she really embarrassed herself in front of those kids...gotta love it. She's very lucky I have good self control.

i usually right off the tailgating to people wanting to get closer to read the Fairlady Z emblem on the back... blind bastards

I got yelled at today by some Pakistani woman through my open window because I was crawling around 10 mph through a neighborhood and her damn kid ran in the middle of the road as I approached...yeah

kree

I have had more people cut me off and do crazy things near my Z in the 2k miles I've driven it than in the last 10 years I've driven my GMC Envoy.

I have not had any of the things described here happen to me... maybe it is happening and I just don't notice it
