Compliments at work on your 370Z

MeetJoeAsian · 06-12-2011, 07:03 PM

my Z was overshadowed at work by a yellow Lambo...so it didn't get any attention unless if it was alone...

my Z is the nicest car at work, even nicer than my boss's. when they saw it they said they needed to renegotiate my pay lol

More than often, I get asked a VERY stupid question when people see my Z: what is your monthly payment?

:-/

A monthly payment is a function of your down payment, your loan period, and interest rate. Its going to differ for everyone, and even if two people have the same interest rate, it's going to differ depending on who makes a larger down payment. Sheesh! I've paid it off now, but that's out of context, there is just no sense in asking someone their monthly payment. All you need to ask is the MSRP, which basically you don't need to ask because you can just look it up online.

I get the comments on my Z - like a biker that pulled up next to me just to give me the thumbs up. My wife actually gets more comments on her Juke - unusual and not very common. We see people standing next to it and talking about it while we are in stores or restaurants.

dudafunk · 06-13-2011, 01:43 PM

We have a Z and a Juke in our driveway too (and a Camaro)... I hate the Juke lol the front reminds me of a cockroach

When I pulled up to the barbershop, one of the hairstylists told me my car is really CUTE. lol

WorkinMan · 06-13-2011, 09:58 PM

I get compliments at work-frequently-while at the gas station, folks pull in off the street to ask about it and compliment it, and I see folks walk back to look at it in parking lots...makes you feel good!

MB370Z · 06-13-2011, 10:32 PM

I get a lot of "Nice 350" or "Nice car, wait is that an automatic? I don't like autos"

Yeah I get a lot of the same comments about the auto. Also "you should have gotten a manual".

Nismo89 · 06-13-2011, 11:34 PM

its a daily thing when im at work now, going from my Accent (hyundai) to The Z.... people all stopped, mouths agape and were stunned that someone got something like that lmao..... didnt know who the driver of it was, and when they found out it was in fact mine, they all rushed to me, asking me for them to take a look at it .. "shes a beautiful car!!!!" ... another said "dayum! where you get the money from to pay for that working here?".... others were pretty much like Holy Sh*t..... nice car!!!!! and now i have people coming to me for new car advice (more recently someone stopped and asked me what i did before buying my 370z...hes interested in a used G35)

and i park alllllll the way on the opposite end of the parking lot so noone parks near me, and risks damage...PLUS i love love LOVE walking towards it! i just smile !

FromG2Z · 06-14-2011, 09:42 AM

^ be careful of parking TOO far. Some haters look for those, and will either park up next to your car with their crappo cars or worse, you get keyed. I know several folks that had this happen. Just be careful. Use good judgement depending of time of day, people with access to car, surroundings, etc.

bflosabre91 · 06-14-2011, 10:15 AM

i get the "you must make too much money" from people at work a lot. i just hope my boss doesn't think the same thing cause i'm due for me yearly raise this month

Crazy4Z · 06-14-2011, 04:15 PM

Last month my boss finally saw my new car. I tried hiding away from people at work parking far away as possible. I had to park right behind him. He got out of his car while I waited my shift at work and scared me when he approached my car. Then he says "man we pay you way too much" lol. He always wanted to get the nismo. But he said he was too old to drive such a fast car. My other co workers finally heard about my car and really loved how it looks. Then when I had pay problems my boss told my shift foreman to give me more OT either that or give him my keys for 30 days to fix my pay issues lol.

TheGreatOne · 06-14-2011, 05:27 PM

Got lots of compliments and many "you must have another job or be doing something else to afford that" comments lol. but I rarely drive right to work, I'm right in the heart of downtown.

I will say its nice to get that kinda love for the car sometimes....solidifies why I love it so much...

Although, last week some scrub with his girl complimented me then proceeded to ask if I am a football player or professional fighter...as if I couldn't just be holding a regular job and pay for my car lol.
