So true Fonzo, so true.

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!

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!

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.

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

Nice Ferrari.

I think I got the best one! On a recent visit to my local CVS Pharmacy, I parked my Z in my usual spot, in the rear of the building far from other cars. On this particular visit, there was an older, red pickup truck parked a few spaces over from where I was going to park. As I walked past the pickup after parking, a woman who was in the driver's seat peered out the window of the truck and said, "want to trade"? So I said, "you'll have to throw something else in besides that" (meaning of course another vehicle besides the truck). She replied, "how about me" and then looked to someone sitting in the passanger seat and said "and her too". I could hear the passenger laughing joined in by the driver. I just looked at them and walked away laughing too. I don't think you could get a better compliment than that. Given the fact that I will be 60 in a few months, you know that they must have REALLY loved my Z.

Would they be worth it?

guy at last weeks auto-x (as I pull up to starting line where he is working) says...don't take this the wrong way but, i want your car!
I was pretty tickled as my husband happened to be riding along (and he isn't nearly as enamored with the Z as most people are)! Lol
