Is it Normal

Nismodean · 04-19-2012, 08:12 AM

My favorite part is causing car alarms from the BMWs and Mercs to go off when I start my car at the local coffee shop, also causing some to jump a little.

I am very impressed at the reaction the car draws, nissan done good!

You'll get used to it. Reminds me of my wife when she took her first drive with me. We were out just enjoying the nice weather on a Saturday, two dudes in a scion XB (generation 1) pull up with their camera phones and start taking pictures, my wife was a little scared by that, but what scared her the most was the fact that the driver was completely turned around facing us to take the picture with his phone while driving about 55.

Honestly I haven't gotten any celebrity moments.

I have actually gotten thumbs down at the light from haters in beater cars..

Like it is my fault that I have money and they don't...

Thumbs down and shaking their heads....

They wonder why they have nothing and drive beaters ? I don't..

Their hate and envy have them trapped for life...

Crazy World.. I guess my celebrity moment is not a good one...Oh well..

I was driving in Orlando the other day and I saw this dude in an old beater civic with rust holes and a ricer exhaust driving his fat wife and 3 kids around. He passed me and I see sparks coming out from under his car. I get a little bit closer and I see that it's coming from his tire where the wire belt is showing through. The tire was wearing badly because he had a crapload of negative camber in the front wheel. So anyway, his windows are down so I get up next to him at the light and I'm like "hey man your tire is about to go, you should get it checked out!". His response? He flipped me the bird and with a thick Spanish accent yelled "chinga tu madre, puto! And your sh!tty car too!". With that he mashed on the gas, and with the sound of rice burning he slowly accelerated away. I was a little confused, but just kinda laughed it off. I just hope he doesn't have an accident for the kid's sake.

I went to pick up my carry out dinner a couple weeks ago, when I got home (townhome community) some lady, mid 40s I'd guess, had pulled up to my car. She had followed me home. I was thinking this person thought I cut them off or something and they wanted to yell at me for what ever they had perceived had happened. Turns out she's seen me around town numerous times and is in love with my Z. She followed me home to tell me she loved my car...I was a little weirded out by it and wasn't sure if my car was going to be on blocks the next morning lol. Luckily she was just being genuine but it was still very strange.

Another time I was at the gas station vacuuming my car out and some guy came peeling off the highway into the parking lot like a bat out of hell. I was thinking wtf is with this guy he made such a racket. yeah, he pulls up to my car and starts going on about how hot my car was. I think I was more weirded out by this situation, having a guy tell you your car is "hot" around Baltimore is not exactly what I'm going for.

All in all just take it with a smile and say "Thank you, I like the car a lot too!". So yes get yourself some shades, those flashes get bright = P

I have an acquaintance w a GTR and the first week I had the car he saw it from the street (didn't know it was mine) and pulled into the parking lot to check it out so I know for certain that this happens. I've also caught people taking pictures of my car at stop lights.

My Z seems to attract more guys than girl XD

A lot of guys will wave from their cars when I drive the Z, but several of the girls I hang out with have said that they like the G37 better because of the red interior. smh
