What's the best compliment you gotten about your Z ?

Red is a problem sometimes.

One reason I chose gunmetal grey. Red, yellow, and black seem most ticket-prone. Just a subjective opinion.

Very inspiring stories guys!!

I think every person should see that show several times so they have it really brought home to them what can happen..although so many young people think' It can't happen to me"

The one of the young girl drinking gasoline was really bad but not as bad as the drug addicted..at least she was not wild and crazy..but she did damage her system.... but I absolutely could not watch the one of the woman drinking her own urine until I realized that the poor woman had cancer and thought this might cure her..

And then there was the truly bizarre tale of the guy in love with his car...if he ever got a Z and started posting under "What did you do with your Z today..It would take that thread to a whole new level!!

Fueling the car this morning and a pretty young girl working for a local utility asked "What kind of car is that? I've never seen one before. That is BEAUTIFUL!". Totally made my day!

When I first got my car last year, a young gal in a civic pulled up next to me at light and said, "your car is f@#king sick", while her drunk passenger told me how much he hated me.
I remember smiling ear to ear from that.

A little kid barely old enough to talk pointed at the car with wide eyes and said 'race car'.

That's when I knew the Z passed the 'hot wheels' test.

THAT is awesome. Kids are the ultimate of Ultimate's as far as a passing grade goes for sure! i know my nephew likes to sit in the drivers seat of my car , both hands on the steering wheel, look at me and wink and whisper " Zoom Zoom" made me proud lol

I hate when people just ask outright how much your paid for your car...sometimes I find it rude depending on the context

Anyways, I got asked that today again by 2 guys outside of the grocery store...both are like "Oh, I thought that was easily a 100K car" lmao

I was like no, not at all. He said "well it sure looks like it"

I can't argue with a compliment like that..the car does get more looks than cars with 2 or 3x the price tag.

I got a parking ticket on campus, and at first I was furious, because I was parked in the correct spot. As I got closer and read the ticket, it was a "warning" and the comment said "nice car" I will post a pic of it up later!
