Headed home today from school I was in traffic on a 3 lane highway and saw a 350 in the far left lane. I was in the middle lane and was moving a little faster than him until we both came neck and neck with nowhere to go, I looked over at him waiting for a wave or a thumbs up or anything but he didn't even look my way, then as soon as traffic started to pick up he shoots in front of me in my lane and slows down to almost 35 mph.

I just waited until another lane opened off and took off. And that was the end of that but this isn't my first encounter with a "hostile" 350z

The window tint was a great investment...for several reasons. Ignoring idiots in pick ups ranks pretty close to the top of that list.

Thats what I run into the most around here.... Seems like every time I go out for a drive some idiot in a ram 3500 is driving around me hyper aggressively

Not to long ago late at night some old beat up truck started to throw revs at me for like 5 minutes LOL

:tup: pick ups (usually the big ones w lift kits etc AND a lot of F-150s) are my biggest adversaries. They will ride my aZz-not pass-or pass and then slow way down...:wtf:. I'm glad to hear some of you have the same issues. I thought it was related to a woman driving a Z, that along w my name on my plate (Cindy) probably just inflames them....not in "my place" i guess:tup:

I can't wait to piss off the 2.5 million lifted trucks here in AZ then with my Z! :icon17:

Guess I'm going to have to keep the rearview mirror in the "dim" position. :tup:

So many other cars
 
I bought my 2013 Sport touring because in the grand scheme it is relatively low profile. There are so many other cars that are more onstentatious, more conspicuous so I am curious that this seems to be such a problem. I didn't get that attitude with my 95 Talon TSI, 98 540, 97 Volvo C70, 06 Z4 coupe, or my 78 280. I was hoping that when I chose a 2013Z over an 07 911 C4S I would avoid that crap - but I guess we will see.

One thing is you sure get a good idea of just how big the front grills of some trucks are. Take up the rear-view mirror.

Mustangs in general mostly foxbody are on the hunt to try and street race imports. Everytime I get revved on I don't even turn my head to the side.

My other vehicle is a '99 silverado. I ALWAYS turn off my lights when I see them shining in the mirrors of another car at stop lights/signs. Since I've been driving my Z, I swear every other vehicle on the road has their high beams on 24/7 lol.

I do get a lot of haters looking and and constantly wanting to race he'll I'm 45years old white Irish
Boy that has always loooved this car ever since my dad brought home
A 240z some 30years ago I find people are very jealous driving this car
Don't know why I consider myself a real car enthusiast that can see the beauty in a lot of cars
And don't understand why others are not as open minded I do however take affence to
to any unwanted racial attention you receive not justified. Just realize not all are idiots and most
Of the looks are just jealousy and enjoy them and laugh off the rest take care

I usually be easy on gas, so when I try to pass someone on the road or HWY, I pass them at a moderate speed.

And always there's these people in those sh!tty low-power sedan gas-up and trying to block me...

I am not sure they do it in purpose or they are driving in their own inner World...

But yes... it's annoying.... :shakes head:

i was cruising down the highway and this old beat up miata drove past me and the guy flick me off for no apparent reason, this was during the summer down here in tx, i guess his ac was broken cause he had his windows rolled down and was just too jelly for my ride, minding you that i had my windows rolled up and cruising with a/c blowing in my face lol
