I was cursing at night and stopped at a light when all of the sudden a Titan comes from out of nowhere down the hill and floors it trying to pass me here. Douch. I think I hit 90, not letting him by.

Do Nismo owners think they are better than regular Z's?

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.

Pet peeve: car sales guys who don't know their cars. Dealership where i got my Z, I knew more about the car ...and the last time I took mine in for an oil change i was looking at the Zs on the showroom floor and the guy was talking out his butt. I was like uh huh, yeah, ok... Jeez. They think when talking to a woman that i am clueless. Shameful and stoopid.

Now I KNOW my Z is head turning worthy. Those douches studiously purposely obviously ignore it. Yeah. I think the lady doth protest too much.

i love BMW M drivers lol they always like eye me up at lights with dirty looks like looking down on the Z because its a nissan.

then i give it a quick rev and the (almost) straight pipes take care of that.

i actually made 2 high school looking (maybe college) kids jump and go nuts when i downshifted at a light yesterday

I get cut off alot especially if I'm
On the highway in the left lane other drivers will see me coming up on their left and they'll pull right in front of me so I can't pass them and when I try to go around them they floor it in effort to keep me behind them. Makes no sense am I really hurting you that bad that you want me to stay behind you what are you trying to accomplish?

Good for you! For me age 30 was the real age of maturity/responsibility both professionally & personally. I guess that's when you say, "hey, I'm not a young kid anymore".

Back on topic, since the last time I posted on this thread couple weeks back about an idiot S2000 driver. I received 2 doses of positive acknowledgement. One a M3 drop top who waved when I pulled alongside him at a red light, the other a brand new Panamera GTS w/paper plates that returned the shaka sign as I was driving alongside him. Nice to have cars of that caliber acknowledging the Z!

I had a truck driver in front of me on the right spit out his window and hit my windshield. It really ruined my day. It was a nasty green hacker too.
I think it's still about the "buy American" attitude.

Went home and completely washed the car, even though it had been pretty clean.

wow, that sucks. unless he was aiming for your car with his head sticking out the window, it might've just landed on your car unintentionally.

at least it was on the glass vs paint. spit is quite acidic and corrosive.

good job washing it all off though.

i carry disposable gloves, small bottle of QD, and paper & MF towels in my cars just in case im motoring and get hit by bird crap.

after you're done with the paper towel, you can flip wrap your disposable glove around the used paper towel while taking it off your hand, and tie it at the top like a balloon, so you dont touch the crap at all.

First half of 30 for me was freaking amazing. This last half has been hell on wheels and really opened my eyes up to the fact im not a young kid anymore.

A couple of the Mid-A Z guys and myself just left lunch and we were headed to the theater to catch Fast & Furious 6 when this kid in a Pontiac Solstice GXP insisted on doing hard accelerations next to us to show off the sound of his BOV. Wanted to give him a thumbs down.

After the movies and headed home a Genesis Coupe sees us and does WOT ricer-flyby while we were at a stop sign. :|
