i have definitely noticed a difference driving the Z compared to my maxima. first day i had the car i noticed noone was letting me merge on the highway, i get cut out all the time... this morning this lady was tailgating me on my way to work blasting her horn at me as soon as a light would change green.. like milliseconds.. and when she passed me i got the death stare. i was like lady chill out.. it's 7am back off me i might accidentally roll back into u on this hill. but then theres a ton of people coming up to me at the gas stations who love it wanting to talk about cars n crap... one guy was like... what do they call that color?... um blue?

That is a big hell yeah....Hell the night I picked her up I had some punk 18yr old trying to race me, still had the temp tags on the car. It's even worse now with the turbo system. I don't get it....
They really hate it when they see a dirty guy get out of the car (don't worry I've got seat covers, extra shoes...mud never gets inside or on the outside). That one kinda make me smile, expescially when a guy in a suit gets out of a POS honda and stares me down. I just laugh, buy my vodka and red bull and drive home(sober). |

I see idiot drivers pretty much daily in the Z. I try not to pay attention to them. Tailgaters, lane blockers, you name it. I probably come off as an a55 since I really try to mind my own business. Maybe I should try and not be so cynical driving the car around.

I experienced this when I first bought the Z, but I think like with everything you just become use to it. For me I went from getting no special attention in my old car, to a lot of people gawking/paying attention to my car when I bought the Z. Also my area doesnt have many Zs in the first place, so the rarity might have had something to do with it as well. As for attitude drivers and people acting up I have become immune to it now, and most people just give me a now anyways most people around town know me as the "guy with the red Z". Although I had one guy ask "Yo, that you in that new ferrrari lookin ****, that **** is tuff."

Had a cop follow me for a few miles...I think he was amazed by the blinking fog lamp when I hit the brakes or it just confused him. I seen him pointing serveral times at it and talking to his partner.

Every time I take mine out. I get atleast 3 of those flybys. And what they are driving is a POS! I know I have them covered, if I wanted to do something.

I get the pull up next to me really fast, stare me down and take off for no reason. Never understood. Also I may add 350z drivers don't seem to be nice either. Seems like they are trying to always prove something while I'm trying to be friendly lol.

I was on my way to work one day and I was bout to get on the freeway and there's a parking lot for Jack in the Box and Dennys right by the on ramp and this lady (mid-late 40's) is waiting to pull out. There's a couple car lengths between me and the car ahead, but I wasn't speeding up to close the gap I wasn't in a hurry. So when I go by this lady she puts her window down and sticks her arm all the way out to flip me off?! Figuring she had a bad day (I work nights so it was around 4pm) I ignored it, BUT I didn't notice she pulled out behind me. So I get on the on ramp and look in my rearview and this lady is so close to my car I can't even see her hood?! It is also a 2 lane on ramp so she is doing it on purpose now, so I brake checked her! Which was stupid cuz I put my car in danger! So as we continue onto the freeway with her riding my a$$, and as we merged and she merged over again and blows by me. She is also flipping me off again!!! I'm still dumbfounded by all this, and I'm watching her go by and there is a child in a car seat in the back no more than 3 if that!!!!!!
(Because of the child I regret brake checking her even more)

I had a guy go off into the shoulder and cut me off cause he didn't like me passing him for going 15 below the speed limit.
On another note(not annoying), I was at a red light and I see two girls in a Mini Cooper behind me. One girl starts pointing at my car and makes shapes with her hand. I assume they were talking about my F.I. exhaust. They speeded up next to me when the light turned green and have me a wave.
