There was a brand new one on the lot. So sexy, but also much more expensive.

Basically they take a picture of the car, note year make model, note exactly where its parked, location date and time. For when they get an order to steal one, like yours.

This is why its never really good to leave your car parked out in one location for a long amount of time.

I take pics of cars I see all the time and post them on forums in sighting threads

Got a thumbs down from a guy driving a beater 4.6L stang, he had his ball cap cocked off to the side obviously way cooler than me.

Washington is a pretty snobby state, I get compliments from time to time but for the most part they're a pretentious lot.

Once a dude forgot to brake and hit the car in front of him at a stop light because he was eye balling my car... I could hear his wife/gf yelling at him lol.. I laughed so hard I think they heard me.. damn poor insulation on the Z.

Sucks to be in the other car. I kind of feel sorry for that damn guy.

Yes this is normal. ESPECIALLY if you look out for it. It makes me feel great! For me it kinda validates the fact that I worked very hard to own something nice. In the last few months Ive had the following situations happen:

1. A guy at a 4-way stop waved me by (when he clearly had the right of way). He then got behind me and at the next light got out of his car and snapped pictures.

2. A little kid got out of his parents truck at the gas station and started drooling over my car. His dad says "yeah he loves those fast and the furious cars." I then let the kid sit in the driver seat so his dad could snap a couple pictures of him. The kids smile was priceless!!

3. I had my car parked outside of my apartment and from the third floor, I could hear some teenage kid telling his friend "no way! No way! Look at this thing!" as he tried to look into my windows.

4. Got the thumbs up from 2 guys passing me on mororcycles on the freeway.

5. Got the thumbs up from 2 kids in the backseat of a car.

6. Last week driving by a restaurant, 2 HOT girls were walking in and the one stopped her friend mid stride and pointed at my car as I drove by.

EFFEN AWESOME...... I like #2 the best b/c it is priceless & that was very kind/thoughtful of you to-do that. Of course the #6 is always going to be on the top b/c they were hot chicks.

I get lots of people trying to race me, it's nuts. The car looks fast just parked. My S2000 on the other hand no...people must think it's a Miata. lol

Lol, That was what I was just thinking reading this post. The women are always looking for the bright/shiny things.

Mecinoid · 04-23-2012, 01:56 AM

Actually, My wife gets a lot more compliments than I do in the Z.

I guess sex in pure sex is better than old dude sex. Lol

Well, not really. I get questioned almost everytime I'm at the gas station or 7-11. It's easier for people to approach you there it seems.

My buddy is on this thing telling everyone how much nicer my Z is than our Vettes. I have to correct him by saying. The Z makes a great sports car. The Vette is just short of a race car my friend. But, then everyone asks me to bring the Z next time. To a Vette Car Show. It's just weird. I guess they appreciate the finer things in life and they aren't afraid to say something is nice if it is. At least the group I've been hanging around with. I can't think of a better compliment. Then again this weekend, he's telling all our buddies that we were camping with how nice my 370Z was; NOT my Vette. So weird... I think he must be thinking about getting one. I just took one ride to 7500rpm and super quick paddle shift session to convert him....
