I brought my car to a state inspection shop and saw that almost all the employees were gathering around my Z talking about it :) The person who inspected it then came up to me and said "nice car!"

Went to Taylor Falls in WI, to eat at Romayne's bar and grille. Heard some family talking about a nice 370Z and how they took pics of it and posing by the car. As my wife and I ate we sat there quielty enjoying our burgers. :)


Later on coming home from the mini road trip on 694:

There was a Mercury Cougar in front of me....driving stupidly.

As he was exiting my wife was going to look at him and call him a dumb***....then she sees him pointing franctically at my Z as his G/F tried to look for what car he is talking about. Wife said she can read his lips saying, "that car, look" while pointing.

I was parked at target a couple days ago. When I came back to my car, I noticed a police car parked one row over from where I was. she had a clear view of my car, and I just had a feeling something was fishy. (she was on the car with the cop car on)
As I turn my car on, and get ready to pull out, she comes up next to me by the passanger side, in my mind I'm like..I wonder wtf she is going to say.

Anways, she comes up with the cop car on the passenger side and tells me "nice FRS" I replied with.." It's a 370z, but thank you" She then said " oh, you're right, either way I love your car", she then asked how I liked it so far etc.
She thought it was an FRS at first, I don't know how haha. She was telling me how she has an FRS and how she loves driving her little, small, sports car after driving the cop car all day. She said she has yet to mess with the paddles on her car, and I told her to go ahead and try them haha.

So, I don't know if its a compliment with her calling it an FRS at first..more like an Insult IMO, but hey, she's a cop so that's cool. haha she said she loved it! :D

Dislike the FRS and 9/10 the people that are behind the wheel, just from personal experiences..

Darketch 08-18-2013 12:28 AM

Pulled up to a red light and a car with two women pull up next to me. They said, "Nice Car...are you married?"

Riptide67 08-18-2013 10:30 AM

When I had my 350Z, it would constantly turn heads. I had quite a bit of show and bolt on breather mods. Had two girls ask for a ride at the same time. I explained it had to be one of them at a time. The pretty cute redhead told me she would ride anywhere alone with me in that.

As for my 370z, the old ladies in my apartment complex love it and tell me how shiny it is. Immediately they begin to reminisce about the old days in their 60's mustangs.

My favorite though is hitting the gas station once every two weeks. I always catch quite a few point and stares.

Dude...I had 3 girls in he Z the other day. One sat on another's lap and the other was in the trunk. Gotta do what you gotta do! :tup:

Niche79 08-19-2013 04:34 AM

Had some white trash girls at Hardees say, "Nice Porsche!"

Ive had a good amount of thumbs up and waves saying nice ride. Had a ton of those younger girls stop and stare, pisses wife off to no end when she sees it and says, "HES MARRIED!"

37ZERO 08-19-2013 06:09 AM

I had a couple walking across a car park in front of me this morning while parking. He was avoiding looking at the car while his girlfriend was staring. As I got out she said "Hey, really nice car".... Needless to say it resulted in a particularly filthy look from her boyfriend!

In my area I'd flip that around. I love the Z and the FRS, but I dislike most of the 370Z owners around here. All the FRS owners in my area are car guys. The Z owners are bankers or midlife crisis people.

Read T 08-19-2013 07:18 AM

At a party the other week I had an older guys ask me if it was a porsche (I take that as a compliment). I do get many more compliments on my license plate than my car though.

MrAurora 08-19-2013 07:40 AM

Mine was monday - just had the slave cylinder replaced on saturday and i was really putting it thru its paces for the first time. At 75mph, the police lights came on. 75 in a 30. Cop took to my info, came back and said "I like the car so your getting a break today" and handed me a written warning. Hands down, best compliment ever. If he had been an american muscle car kinda guy, i'd probably be making sure not to pick up the soap right about now or risk having my colon turned inside out like a dirty sock...

nmjaxx9 08-19-2013 12:11 PM

Someone told me the other day, dude your car is the "truth". I said huh? They said yeah its cuz any car that goes against the truth always faces defeat. :roflpuke2:

Can anyone tell me the side skirts or body kit on the white car?

dmhenderson 08-19-2013 12:47 PM

"congratulations, you now have the loudest 370z I have ever heard. It's obnoxious"
-My headlight guy, Friday afternoon.

Riptide67 08-19-2013 01:06 PM

I also love that there are only 3 on the island I am stationed at. One silver, one blue, and my black 370. Hopefully it stays that way!

Eighties Meta 08-19-2013 08:00 PM

Couldnt believe it sunday I had a mazda3 2.5 follow me for a bit then fly up next to me, give me the "yeah bro" then settle back in behind me. Funny because those cars r normally tring to race me for some reason. Not the mazdaspeed 3 but the regular ones. Oh well...

I have only been able to spot 3 in West Michigan. A few 350's also. It is not a car you see out in the wild around here very often. I get a lot of people chatting me up at the gas station which is actually nice for the most part (not long winded). I usually get freakin bored pumping gas anyways.

See? Got all mine.

madwi 08-21-2013 07:45 AM

Well I got a nice compliment last night. I recently switched to third shift at work and no one has really seen the Z. I pulled into the employee parking lot last night and a nurse said "Ohh, the doctors parking lot is up there, you don't have to park out here with us." I then had to introduce myself as the new 3rd shift IT guy. She actually looked at my badge to verify lol. I found it nice.

metthem 08-21-2013 07:50 AM

My wife took the Z to work and some guy on the next shift she has never seen before came walking straight up to her and said, "Is that your Z out front?"
She said, "well, it's my husbands"
He said, "will you marry me?"
She said, 'No"

I'd put this on top of my list:

Left home early enough to get to work by 8AM. Jumped on the fwy and it was packed. Traffic news says an accident on the 210 jamming the 5. What normally took 25 minutes ended up being 1:15on the road with 5 minutes to go.

Along Tampa Blvd 3 blocks before I turn right, I took off from the stop light going from the left lane onto the right lane but accelerated pretty quick to beat everyone else. As soon as I got to the middle lane out comes a black and white with his lights flashing. I did not even see him and was caught off guard by this. To be honest I did not know if I even went above the speed limit (45), all I knew is I got there fast. I stopped just before the next light and I was mad at myself ready to tell the officer I'm sorry, you got me. I was also thinking great, I have no plates in the front, car's pretty loud, I'm gonna get a hefty fix it ticket on top of a speeding ticket.

Officer steps out of his car, with his partner sitting inside, officer came to my side smiling and stuck his hand out to shake mine, all while I was telling him how sorry I was and you got me. Told him about the traffic I was just it and rushing to get to work, etc. He was talking over me at the same time saying no, no, you're cool. I just wanted to stop you because I'm car guy and I love what you did with your car.....and that exhaust, it sounds really good. I'm not giving you a ticket. I'm just a car guy and my partner even knows that, so you're cool. How lucky can I get! I WAS SO HAPPY!!!! and grateful. I said cool! we can talk about cars all day long Officer xxxxxxx. He asked Where did you get that exhaust? I told him it was made by Fast Intentions in Simi Valley. He said it sounded really good. When you took off, I had to stop and talk to you about it.. In my excitment, I offered to give him two $10 gift cards from work that I readily hand out when I meet people and I was thinking to myself, oh ****, I hope he does not think it's a bribe, I was just happy. He turned it down of course. He said no you're cool. I told him how cool he was and gave him my business card and said let's connect and talk about cars. We can even go to a car meet if you want. He said, cool and shook my hand and let me off. I waved back his partner sitting in the patrol car. I drove off laughing at myself and what just happened the rest of the way to work.

This my friends is the best compliment I had so far.

^That moment you feel frustration, fear, excitement, nervousness, hopefullness (not to get a ticket), anticipation, confrontational, apologetic, sorrowful, and sad ALL AT ONCE IN 0.25 seconds. :icon17:

Drex 08-29-2013 08:35 PM

cool, but the cop should not be pulling you over just to compliment you about your car. abuse of power imo

At that moment, I really did not care. I just want out of the potential ticket and any potential fix-it items that he could have tagged me with. I know I took off fast but no clue how fast I was going. From a PD policy standpoint, he could get in trouble for it. He did make it clear he was a car guy with no ill intentions. I'd give him a pass.

It sounds like he could have given you a ticket so I'd say you are just super lucky that it was a car guy but really great story! :tup:

fthamma 08-31-2013 06:25 PM

Just received my best compliment.

I went to the gas station and pulled up next to a yellow Lamborghini. As I got out of the car, I saw that the owner and his kid were looking at me and the Z and I proceeded to give them a thumbs up on the Lambo. He then said that his 5 year old son liked my car and asked if he could take a look inside. I let him and see a smile on his face :) As they drove off with that amazing exhaust sound, the guy gave me a thumbs up.

I later found out that my cousin works with the guy's wife. Small world.

Last night I went to a local restaurant to pick up something for takeout. When I came out two young boys, about 12 and 8, were standing at the rear of my car with their grandma. They were both running their hands over the contours of the car. I smiled and winked at them as grandma hustled them off. Car guys already!

the nice thing for is you're 26 and might actually have a chance with the younger ones. who knows, maybe the cougars too, if that's what you're into.

Best compliment I got was "this is better then a pagani zonda". Must be faster then a Buggati."

I said yes.

Note sure if this is sad or a good thing but my wife seems to see a lot of people looking at my Z.....about 75% of them are old men :ugh2::ugh2:
