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

tibal · 07-23-2012, 10:58 AM

So Friday I was cruising back from work around 530 down 495. All of a sudden in my rearview I see a black ISF speeding ahead. Thing was *MINT* looked like it had just been fully detailed. I was in the far left lane, and as he approached he stayed in the far right lane.

I noticed he kept looking over at my car, as I was his, (my windows are very tinted so he can’t see in... I think...)

I proceeded to drive up ahead of him until he shoots over next to me and signal to put my window down. He was driving like a dink, but made it look good. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I obliged. I look over and the middle aged Asian man yells out DUDEEE I FREAKIN LOVE YOUR CARRR!!!!

Maybe he was a fan of the Z's heritage or maybe our cars are just that sexyy!?!

I yelled back that his car is amazing, we exchanged thumbs up (phone numbers cough coughh...), and he sped away into the distance...

Got a wave and a head nod from an Audi TT driver this weekend (pretty cool I thought)-which is more than I can say for the PW Roadster Z I passed when I was in town 2 days earlier...also received a thumbs up (with my husband in the car with me-so he saw it too;-) from a guy in an old van this weekend.
god I love this car!

Don't need to watch it if you have (unfortunately) lived it...

if you HAVE NOT lived it, it absolutely gives you new perspective.

some guy at a Z meet thought the 370z comes stock turboed. LOL. He was like wats that extra pipe under your hood.

Well it was a good compliment I let him have his fun with it until I broke the news to him, he was less than pleased.

Ive gotten that one too a couple times, most recently from a 350 owner. Guess they have the ability to see into the future at my next project

Today a high school kid in his G35 followed me home just to get a good look at the Z. Turns out he lives just a few blocks down the street.

We shot the **** for a few minutes and he took some pics for instagram. His G35 was pretty sweet too. Feels good man.

I do not know if this is a COMPLIMENT.

I always find someone taking pictures of my car parked or being on the road.

OR have someone always run close to my rear end and swerved fast to my blind side and egg me for a race. The other day a chick with a FIAT 500.

Are you serious???? Why not lets just go race in my BED!
