PS--my wife (juno) met you at our Mobile gas station back when we had our GTR and you were one of the first folks here to have a 370z.

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.

I'm with you, I always drive 25, sometimes even a bit slower when there's cars parked on both sides of the neighborhood roads (really can't go faster than that even if I wanted to). I've gotten a couple of looks from folks. I love when the people jogging or walking their dog and kiddie strollers in the street (NOT on the sidewalk) give me the dirty looks cause i don't go crawling by them at 10 mph and get out of their way. Some folks have absolutely no common courtesy/common sense etc anymore.

Hey, as far as i'm concerned, if your neighbors are acting like that, they can go **** themsleves, why'd you want to be friends with them anyway?? We're lucky in that all our immediate neighbors are either pretty cool or keep to themselves so I can't complain.

I tip my hat to you sir for having the self control not to donkey punch that woman who charged up to your car yelling at you. I don't honestly know what I would have done but I hope I would handle it as well as you did. I have anger issues.

Anyway, if we get some more Z's in the neighborhood we could have our own little Z car getogether.
