Annoying things people do, JUST because you are in a Z!

Airwalk · 03-05-2013, 04:52 PM

This is a great thread. I have'nt had my Nismo for a month yet. I met a guy on this Forum and we do a Cars and Coffee, on saturdays. I had some guys ask me about the car, if I like it, whats great about it and the like. I get alot of attention from woman just like my 350Z, but it's way more noticeable in the Nismo. Had an older gentleman ask me "how many tickets you get with that thing" and the hottie at my bank wants to go for a ride now. The only stuff that bothers me is the Mustang guys hate my car. Where I live there is a good amount of Stangs, and when I run into them I get a dirty look, or a revving of the engine. Mostly all V-6's. I have no problem with Mustangs, hell I had one. I just don't get the hate because I respect the Mustang and I like them and when I run into Camaro's I get a thumbs up. I wonder if a ride really defines your character? Man I need a Lamborghini!!

Pics or

On another note, the woman at MY bank drives a 370Z, I kept trying to figure it out, because I knew this local kid not on the forum has the same car, so I assumed he worked in that area, until I saw her getting into her car as I rolled up, I LMAO'd when I finally figured out who that random blonde was in the black 370, LOL

And,

back in Dallas one of our 370Z boys became a Mustang guy, still comes out to meets and such, super chill, good guy. And I even went to a Ford car show with him and the 5.0 DFW group and we were shooting the shít I let one of the guys take my car for a spin, rev it at the car show, it was cool...
Day later, some SOB in a 5.0 rode my ÁSS on the freeway, so instead of giving the brake check, I decided to put it into 3rd and get out of his way... He took it as racing and ran me off the road...
I don't hate the car, I don't hate 99% of their drivers, but their .01% ásshole category REALLY f's their name... (Kinda the same situation with law enforcement, I have a LOT of friends who are in that field... But they ALL get a bad rap because of the few cops that are truly ássholes)

Then there were the LS1 guys - Camaros in particular. Biggest douche's in the world and thought their **** didn't stink.

A guy today in a old pontiac saw me @ the gas station he was following me for quite a bit and trying to floor it behind me LOL, and when I pulled over to fill up he said "Heard those Zs eat gas a lot of gas" Im like yeah if you floor it a lot. He looked again tryin hard to find fault with it but couldn't and walked away what a loser prolly made up a story of how he told off a Z driver to his wife who was in the car with him

I've said it a million times, women love this car. I think girls like how it looks more than we do.

my neighbor, a sub 30ish good looking gal is knocking on my window as I'm getting ready to pull out of my parking space a couple nights ago. She says I haven't seen you for awhile (i've only had the car about 7 months now but thats besides the point) she then says and I quote "That bitch is hot!!"

I like her even more now.

Just 10 min ago, out of curiosity, I went for a quick 5 min test drive in a 5.0 6 speed with only a few miles on the clock. It was traffic hours and road surface sucked really bad, and I wanted to see how it would feel like in a day to day commute situation.

The annoying thing - coming from the salesman that didn't know what a "Track Pack" was, said "well you can't really compare your car to the Mustang, Mustang is just in a different league. It's like comparing the mustang to a corvette, I mean, corvette is just in a league of its own"

I didn't mind it much, the guy didn't know much about his own product let alone cars. To clarify, during the test drive, I was complementing the 5.0 the whole way, didn't talk smack at all.

Plenty encounters with 350z, fart can civics, Evos/WRX, newer 5.0's and camaros, str8 pipe GTO....so far they pretty much just leave me alone. 350z guys won't even look at me at stop lights. I'm jealous that yall get dirty looks and rev'd at.

Suki never asked to pop my clutch either.

I feel like I got cheated out of the real 370z experience
