Compliments at work on your 370Z

red6spd · 06-10-2011, 09:46 PM

Yep lots of complements here as well from people I know and total strangers. But at the same time also alot of negative comments from people I thought where my friends, family members and some co-workers. Mostly not to my face, I find out later. The most popular negative comment is Must have a nice mom, or Mommy must have bought it (mom cause my farther past away a few years ago)

I hate people like that. They're just jealous.

Yep me to, I mean I understand the car is not the cheapest thing in the world but its also not a M3 or a AMG Benz, as long as you work hard you can have one.

Yeah, but to someone who isn't a car person it looks like a very expensive car. Don't understand why those people can't believe someone just worked hard for it.

Jealous like you said before I guess.

In my country the 370z is a very exclusive car and rarely seen on the road, when I drive around sometimes people roll down their windows all excited and have this droll face, some even yell out "nice car man can I drive it". I also receive compliments from all my friends and co-workers. My parents thinks this is a ferrari or some exotic car, I guess they still don't understand.

Bad part is... there are a lot of haters, jealous kids with no respect for others, I've been hit with rocks twice, once with a half full soda can from the incoming lane, a long black marker pen line and a nasty spit in my wheels while I was in a public parking. And this is my first month of ownership.

I'll probably have to tint my windows and blackout everything, put some chrome 22" spinners to make people think the car belongs to some gangster or mafia member.

I've had no compliments so far. I think because it's all black, and because it is a convertible - doesn't look as cool as the coupes so nothing much to remark upon. But hell it's fun to drive lol.

I hired b1adesofcha0s to protect my car, and have not been bothered since.
