Do you guys consider the Z a yuppie car?

StLRedrider · 05-31-2009, 03:57 PM

My cousin and a couple of the guys that work for me keep riding my a%@ and saying my new toy is total yuppie ride. One of them works at the GM plant here and told me thanxs to you i'm loosing my job, i told him bulls#@t my purchase had nothing to do with it. I told him blame your president for forcing out GM's headhancho. I don't think it's a yuppie car.

Your friend is an idiot.

StLRedrider · 05-31-2009, 04:15 PM

"Yuppie:
a young, ambitious, and well-educated city-dweller who has a professional career and an affluent lifestyle."

I've been called a lot worse than that!

They seem to be a bit jealous.

Envy is a terrible thing.

The president had NOTHING to do with it....GM's ineptitude and BAD decisions over MANY years had everthing to do with him potentially losing his job...The Gov. is acually trying to save his A$$

StLRedrider · 05-31-2009, 06:11 PM

That guy ought to be blaming his own union for causing him to lose his job...

StLRedrider · 05-31-2009, 06:25 PM

He's only been there less than a year, so he's at the bottom of the food chain. He'll still will work for me and complain about it everyday.

I've never known anybody that thinks a Nissan is a yuppie/snobby car. Those sentiments are usually reserved for BMWs, Mercedez, Porsche etc. And it costs $30k!! What do they think about $60k Escalades, vettes and Cadillacs then? They cost twice as much!

And if GM built a quaility car across their line they wouldn't be in trouble today. I really wanted to buy American, and I looked at a C6 vette and both the Sky and Solstice, but they were just too crappy overall to fork over the same amount of money as my Z. We also own a Dodge truck and a Ford Focus so we have no problem buying domestic.

BMW is the ultimate yuppie machine. Not the Z. The Z is a dedicated sports car that doesn’t have room for the whole foods groceries and the Mac computer all at once.

Coming from a Bmw that was a normal comment but now in a 370z I don't think so.
