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

They get a good look at my tail lights shrinking. Just because I drive a Z.

Had a cop pace behind me for a few miles then turned off the highway. Thought he was gonna get me since I passed a slower car on the right but maybe he was just admiring me instead

Had some a**hat today on the bridge tunnel in an Acura RL trying to accomplish god knows what. I passed him some miles back, we catch up to the toll booths, he exits before me but he's crawling and I usually don't take much time to get back up to speed so I wind up passing him. Kind of. He floors it to maintain speed with me. I'm like, dude, don't even think about pacing me.

So since he proved he was going to be difficult I just drove like he wasn't even on the road anymore. He had the lead-car syndrome for sure. No matter what speed I adjusted to he was trying to get back in front of me but when he got there he never went any further. And when he stayed behind some slow person coming out of the tunnel I passed and guess where he was? Right on my tail trying to keep up. When we would approach the alcoves where the cops usually sit he'd try to position himself behind me as a radar blocker. I was like, really? 5 over. I'm not getting pulled now matter what and you are going to hide behind me? Once I finally had it And there was no one else for at least a mile behind and he was riding my blind spot I just came short of locking 'em up and forced him to get in front of me. Can you believe this clown still never got more than 20 yards ahead of me the entire time and even after that?

If I could I would have eaten his soul.

There was a stupid truck driver tailgating me last month. He was tailgating me on any speed I drove. My speed limit was 70, so I did 75 to pass every cars on the right, and if he want to do speeding against the law, he can easily do it by doing 80 to surpass me because i left him with plenty space to do ,but he didn't. So I changed into a slow lane then he slowed down, and he didn't pass me on the left, so I went back into fast lane again. He chased up to my rear again at 80, so I decided to be an a$$ by cut all 4 lanes when my hwy merge to four lanes hwy then the lanes merge again into 2 lanes again so I decided to passed two 18wheels trucks and let those trucks blocked the lanes for me, so he can't tailgating me anymore.

When I have that happen I just go the normal pace I want and F*K them lol. If they want to go around fine, if not oh well. I'm not going to be worked up to become someones "rabbit" and possibly get a ticket or endanger everyone else on the road.although it is a bit unnerving sometimes just how big FORD and bowties look when they take up your entire rearview mirror.

I surprisingly got a lot of respect in the Z on my recent trip to Vegas. Went to the Red Rock Canyon state park and had several cars pull over to let me by on the scenic drive even though i wasn't tailgating them or anything. On the drive back to LA, I also have several cars move out of the fast lane when they saw me coming even though i wasn't speeding down towards them. It actually gave me a little pressure to drive a bit faster since they got our of my way to let me by.
There was a Civic si that was the weavy type and when I happened to be behind him in the fast lane, barely gaining on him at my cruise speed, he moved over and got back in the fats lane behind me and proceeded to follow at a safe distance. It was quite refreshing, though i drove a bit faster to not slow him down, haha.

I had a Nismo the other week not let me merge onto the freeway infront of him so I had to ride it out in the emergency lane Do Nismo owners think they are better than regular Z's?

What the hell? That's odd. Where the hell is the mutual respect for a fellow Z owner? Nismo is just packaging in my eyes. Doesn't make it any better. Well, hope he isn't cruising this forum. Probably to good to get real information anyway.

I had a good chuckle at some guy talking about a Nismo.

Was at a Nissan dealer and this guy was talking out of his *** saying he's going to upgrade and spend 70k on a Nismo or something. Guy was driving an Altima I believe lol.

On the way home yesterday I had a Chrysler Crossfire pull up next to me at a stop light holding the brake and taping the accelerator like it was big and bad.
We were in 5 lanes of traffic and he wants to act stupid.

Yea I usually let them do what they want and ignore them. Try to find a way for them to pass me without pissing me off. I usually let faster cars pass in daily drive, but this guy was so stupid. I give him a space to pass. I even switched to slower lane then he didn't pass me, but when I went back to speeding lane. He was sped up to my rear again. Can u imagine how annoy to have those big truck on ur rear? And I afraid that he will end up with rear end me because he was pretty close to my rear bumper. I trust in Z brake system, but I never trust those cars out there.

I have never had anything like this happen to me..Can you be absolutely sure you did not just cut her off or nearly run her into a ditch without realizing it?
Seriously, I do notice people getting very close behind me and wondered if that was to check out what kind of car this was..but i have had tons of very nice comments and waves from others...Never a nasty look..

I've gotten a few nasty looks (not in the Z) and I usually smile back and wave. That seems to get under their skin even more! Gotta play the game!

I'm pretty proud to say I got my very first Genesis douche fly by yesterday. Trouble (for him) was that it was on a main road here with a red light every couple blocks.

He sure showed me how fast he could get to each one and wait for me.
