Before I bought my Z I was looking at Honda S2K's, which my brother said were total chick cars. I'm glad I eventually went with the Z, but not because he said it was a girl car. I can see how the S2K could be perceived as a chick car, but how on earth can someone think the same about the 370Z?

that black guy is crazy what would you do if that happened to you?

Yup, he's jelly, but the touring package is overpriced imho. N I'm not saying it because I can't afford it. I came from a 09 G37s fully loaded which at the time was 4k more than a loaded Z. But if it makes you happy then don't worry bout what he or I think.
As far as it being a girls car? Lol. Any guy without a sports car call them girl cars until they own one. Usually guys like that tell you a real sports car is a muscle car. In other words he don't know sh1t. Lol.

Defend my self? I always have mace around. I am sure it would calm him down quick.

Ha he wouldn't make it past first swing. His family would be singin' "Its so hard, to say good-bye to yesterday!" Lmfao... Dudes that act crazy humble up real quick when you give them a quick dose of there own medicine multiplied by 3.

one of my friends told me its "a poor mans sports car".

I carefully considered this purchase after driving a bmw/audi/corvette etc..

I realize that the Z is an affordable(I say this even though I just spent 800 dollars on tires), exciting, and exhilarating car. My pride was possibly hurt for a second, but on the way home i put the windows down and just enjoyed the exhaust note.

all is forgotten.....

I would have ran him over. I swear I would.

:bowrofl:

umm, I would defend myself by whatever means i have available.

:iagree:

I know what Steve would have done (assuming he was in VA) :rolleyes:

What does he drive? He also obviously doesn't have any taste in cars.

Plus those that care and love you are blunt and straight forward. So, don't take it the wrong way if he was honest with you.

The Z is not a "chick car".

If you do a quick look at the members' list, or show up to a couple car meets, you'll see this car's buyer population is as "sausage fest" as it gets.

Does that make you feel better or worse about your purchase decision? :ugh2:

Had a kind of similar situation happen with me. Me and one of my friends were going back and forth about the next car we were going to buy for months. I wanted to buy the Z and he wanted a 335i. He kept talking all this sh1t about how the Z is just a Nissan and the BMW was way better. He got really jealous when I got my Z and he got nothing. His little brother got a 350Z and he starting talking sh1t about how it was so much better and faster than the 370Z. To shut him up, I challenged him to a race at the drag strip. He wasn't even going to drive it himself, he was gonna have his little brother drive it for him. The night before he made up some excuse about his car needing to be repaired and backed out. The next day, I set the 2nd fastest stock 1/4 mile time in the 370Z :bowrofl:

He still likes to talk sh1t about my car, but now it's only as a joke.

settled the issue like a friendly neighbor?

talked him into buying a Mustang

convinced him there were other things in life to focus on.
