They come on forums claiming to be Z owners while filling the forum with hundreds of negative one liners. Just cuz we like being in our Z's. :shakes head:

I beg to differ. My wife can drive a stick pretty damn well, In more ways than one. :happydance: and from living in SOCAL and the north east she can drive better than most of the retarded drivers out there. The only time d bags want to race me is the foolish 4.6 mustangs or "betech powered hunda".

I personally wasn't saying that. That was my impression of those people trying to race your wife. :tiphat:

I usually don't have the best of luck with VW drivers, especially the tuner types (and that was this guy). But today at the light making a left and being the nice person I am I backed off a little during the turn so he could merge over. Saw him look in his side very mirror, gave the quick wave that he was good, guy shoots me the deuce! I was like, there is hope yet! :)

Kinda made my day. As a matter of fact he lived in my neighborhood so we turned down the same streets until I hit my drive. Not once did he rev or drive like a moron. Not once. Just very chill and mutual respect was obvious. I like drivers like that. I demand there be more!

I was in the middle lane of a three-lane main road here and was just about to get into the right lane to turn right when a grey 370Z blasted right past. I had to jerk the wheel back or there would have been a hell of a side swipe.

you havent seen annoying tuners till youve driven around orlando or kissimmee florida in your Z..between every civic hatch, mazda, scion tc etc. wanting to rev their stock 4 bangers with fart can mufflers every oppurtunity they get it honestly gets annoying..And hot import nights is this weekend so you can only imagine the attention a Z will get on the streets...but it is cool to come across chilled enthusiast who just give the head nod of respect and keep it rolling.

I like to take turns quickly because, well, its a lot of fun. Really annoys me when someone can't keep up in the corners, but then rides my *** when we're going straight. :mad:

I was driving my friends S2000 the other day. If you think the attention you get from the Civics is bad in a Z, go drive a S2000.

Drove my buddy's S2k year ago and you couldn't be more right. Every Civic driver thinks they can get a leg up on an S2k. Kind of asinine.

A guy in his Chevy Traverse did this to me last week! It was pretty funny though because I took a hard left not thinking anything of it, next thing I know he's on my *** but I just carry on as normal. He blew past me in the left lane and there was a nice sweeping turn coming up and he went into it pretty hard and you saw the whole car roll pretty bad and sure enough he had to hit the brakes. I just smiled, downshifted and accelerated around him and through the turn :D

Pulled up behind an obviously modded RX-8 yeasterday at a stoplight on my way home from the dealership. He kept revving his little fart can like a jacka$$. Thankfully, he turned left while I went straight. When he did turn, he was clearly trying to show off his ability to accelerate through a turn from a stop :ugh2: His fart can kept popping and spitting out nasty black smoke, too. All I could do was :shakes head:

:tup: true. A female in a Z = instantaneous harassment:tup:

I took my name (cindy)off my license plate because it was constant challenges on the road. :wtf: x 100 :shakes head:

Much better now-tinted windows and Zynful plate has worked wonders:tiphat:

So on my way out of town today I was in the left lane just cruising past some people like normal. Not flying. Not being an a**. There was an old '80s white Chevy wagon with wood panels (yeah, eww) and some old guy driving it. He was the last car in the slower lane and as I passed him he started to pace me. I have no patience for that crap because all I want to do is get back over in the right lane after I pass someone. So I slughtly blip the throttle just to maintain separation and I get back over. Boy was he mad at me. At first I thought he just had an issue being behind someone. But then immediately steps on it and flies past me and I'm like, uhhhh... ok? I give him the whatever gesture and then I just start cracking up laughing and wave goodbye.

Not the end of that story, sadly, since he slows down enough for me to get back beside him and then he floors it again as if he really thinks I'm going to race him. I left the cruise control alone and just did my own thing. But again, I'm obviously just losing it at this point. And then he pulls some daredevil maneuver to exit up ahead and as I'm passing him again by the exit and I see him give the "whoopie-do" finger like I had nothing on him. Jealous and hater are the only two words I can use to describe this guy.
