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

dos_equis · 12-09-2012, 01:06 AM

Can I go anywhere without someone trying to race me or show me up? A ford explorer, yeah you read that right, try to keep me from passing him on a two lane entrance ramp. A boxy looking SUV tried to keep me from moving over to the inside lane. A duramax wanted to show off how cool he was by coming up on my a$$ on the interstate. I tapped the brakes to get him off of me. Well it piss this douche bag off and he cut off a couple of cars to get around in front of me....This all happened within the past two hours. The gf was pissed at my irresponsibility with the speed but she was impressed with the way the nismo handled.

Calm down everyone, the Z is a nice car but it's not an exotic supercar. I find it hard to believe that everyone is so jealous and envious of a $30k car

I wouldnt believe it either but i have personally experienced the aggression-my DD is a civic-no attention or aggression-get in the Z its like a magnet for rudeness (and a lot of smiles and thumbs up too) ...seriously.

its all part of driving a Z, sometimes over analyzing it makes it worse.

No issues with 350 guys (& girls) down here. In fact they're one of the best and friendliest out where I'm at. I'm sure there's a douche out there some where but I have not encountered one yet.

Agreed! Relax folks, it's just a Nissan. Regardless of what you drive, there will always be idiots on the road.

dos_equis · 12-09-2012, 08:12 PM

It is an exotic supercar....maybe just to me. I don't think it's a jealousy or being envious thing. I am guessing most want to see what the 370z is capable of doing firsthand. Some just go about in a retarded way.

I've had people take pictures of my z when I am coming out of the grocery store. I've also had these girls start taking picture of my car when I was passing by the movies on a friday night. It may not be an exotic but it does sure gets lots of attention; breaking necks and what not.

Tribalpinoy91 · 12-10-2012, 02:00 AM

The one thing being consistent when i drive is people always trying to pace with me, damn i mean chill I'm trying to drive in peace instead i gotta tap into the Z real power every now and then to get on to the exit!

Haboob · 12-10-2012, 08:14 AM

Haven't had any stories yet, that I know of. I tend to not look at others when I drive.

Though, I know I have been cruising 70 on the freeway (certainly doesn't feel like I am though) and there are always people flying by me. Kind of a weird feeling, but I'm not going to follow suit and get pulled over. Not yet anyways...

Most pple think it cost 50k to 60k, well the ones that ask me "wow...how much is that car...about 50K/60k right?" Then you have the ones that are jealous, usually in ghetto wanna be hondas, etc....

Most people have no idea what my car even is.

Even more so now that I have the CF emblems from the Z store.

P.S. quite nice contrary to popular belief around here.
