Had a few people tell me, "Beautiful car." and one older, trashy looking lady say the same and that I looked good in it.

No one in traffic has said anything. I get a lot of stares, that's about it still.

Though... it is dirty right now.

I've had some pretty interesting experiences so far from onlookers driving my 2010 MB Nismo.

Bought the car in Miami FL last summer and drove it all the way home to MI with my wife. I had the TPMS light come on driving through the Everglades. Stopped in at the Naples FL Nissan dealership to have it checked out. Couldn't believe how many of the salesmen rubbernecked as I drove by to the service dept.

Same trip home on I 75 in FL, had a 18 -21 yo pass me in his blue 350z. As he passed by, he stuck his head and neck out the window staring backwards a good 6 car lengths past me smiling ear to ear before he pulled his head back in.

Multiple people passed taking pictures with cell phones. My wife was asking what is the deal with all these people staring. I said "This is the flagship car for all Z fans".

Since being home with the car the past year I've had:
A guy come racing up on me comes along side me and slows down. Does the heavy look over on the car. Then he makes the "hang loose" thing with his hand and continues to pass. His exit comes up pretty quickly. Rolls down his window, sticks his hand out doing it again and start's screaming "Wooohooo.. Yeah" about 5 times.

The staring as people pass by is pretty common anymore. Still get the cell phone photos.

Best one to date, I was driving on US -12 through a small town. A group of 4 teens was walking on the sidewalk coming toward me. A boy in the lead comes to a dead stop. His jaw drops open. He stares and twists his body as I slowly go by passing by.

*Thread Grave-Digger* moment, just cause I didn't get to chime in yet

Mine was from a girl in a black-on-black VW Beetle at Target. She was pulling out while I was beginning to park. She spun her car around, actually got out and said, "I love your car!" with a huge smile. Her mom was in the passenger seat, got out and said, "She's single, are you available?"

Haboob · 07-22-2013, 02:12 PM

Damn it... I never get those!

I have gotten a couple more "That's a nice car" while at the gas station near the grocery store.

1_Stealth_Z · 07-22-2013, 02:49 PM

ive had several girls tell the whole "OMG your car is sooo sexy...take me for a ride!!""

but something that amused me the most for some reason was I was getting in my car and this random guy mid 20's was like "man that hood tight as hell man you got them vents on vents on vents."
Not sure why that stuck with me but I thought it was hilarious.

I parked in an end stall at a very popular local beach here. Two pretty ladies (early 20's) walking from the beach towards my car in their covered bikini's, one just blurts out to the other, "that's a really nice car". She then notices me standing by the back hatch and then says "I can't believe I just said that out loud". I guess cause I'm 55

. Maybe if I was 25, the 2nd comment would have been different.

An elderly Mexican man said I had a very cool looking Lamborghini. I laughed and said no no it's a Nissan. He genuinely wouldn't believe me. 'Really? That's not a Lamborghini? It looks just like one of those new Lamborghini's on the tv!'
Lol

Umm my latest compliment came from the Priest of the church my sister attends.
I never really go to church, somehow I ended up going with my sister and decided to take the Z.
I pulled in, and I guess he noticed the car.
When we were walking inside, my sister introduced him to me, and he then quickly proceeded with telling that I had a nice car haha .

I was at the dr the other day and he was giving me the lowdown on my xrays, my blood pressure readings, etc. I'm sitting on the exam table with a window to the parking lot behind me. The doctor is giving me all this medical info and glances out the window as he's talking. He stops mid sentence and gets that look like he's lost his train of thought. He says "is that your 370z?" I told him it was and he said "that thing is beautiful!" and then we talked about the Z instead of medical stuff for the rest of the visit lol
