i can deal with most everything being said here. been there done some of it...

but what's really getting old is people in other cars today it was a couple of
guys in a gold 350 pulling up beside me and revving up wanting to either show off or race on a public road.... anything from a f150 to a civic what gives..

oh and the old stand by "how fast have you had it up to"

like we all wait around for the first chance to drive 140 mph....

I hate them, all of them, every single Prius owner sucks at driving. Whenever I am on the highway I always stay far away from them, i dont know what it is but they always try and show off by accelerating really fast in one lane, like they are proving that just because their car is green doesnt mean its not fast. Get a life Prius owners, go stick ur head in mud............ok done ranting
here in ny its the corolla drivers they always drive like douchebags and tail the **** outta everyone. everytime i see a corolla around me i stay far far away from them. they do the dumbest **** sometimes

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.

Where are you getting your numbers? The national median income appears to be somewhere in the 40k-50k range.

So, howdy neighbor.
Hey! Thanks for the reply. yes, I remember meeting your wife. She was super nice, I bet we talked twenty minutes. Man, that GTR was great! I don't think I've spotted your Nismo out there yet.

Yes, the "I drive 25" crowd is getting out of control. Its not that I oppose driving slow through the neighborhood - that's actually all I do - but its those women that come out in the street and make a huge deal out of it in front of all their buddies blocking the road. One day - as I am driving - a woman charged up and yelled right in my window (which was down). I was probably going about 15 mph - there's no room to go faster - it was completely out of line by her so I flipped her off, and that was so much fun I just keep doing it. My wife says my neighbors are going to hate me. I say being liked by your neighbors is overrated. hahaha

Although the neighborhood is definitely a slow zone I am loving that new road right across the entrance!

Tell Juno I said hello.

I used to work a few miles away from an elementary school, and don't let those moms with minivans and bumper stickers about driving slow, saving children, etc. fool you. They were some of the most aggressive drivers I've run into (not literally, of course, but they almost ran into me a few times). I always went the speed limit within a few miles of the school, and on the highway leading up to the exit the school was off of, those crazy women would go flying past me +20mph over the speed limit, swerving, braking hard, just trying to jump up a few spots. Poor kids, I can remember a few times them looking out the windows at me terrified. I can't imagine driving like that with a child in the vehicle. I'm sure those are the same kind of people who glare at you when you're puttering around at the speed limit in a neighborhood, just because of the kind of car you're in.
