$.02

It is all how it was meant. i.e. Datsun. Loving Datsun or Loathing Datsun.

One of the greatest compliments I have ever received, was from my Orthodox Jewish buddy who said:

"You are so good are you must be Jewish. Are you sure you are not?"

At the same time I could have taken it as an insult. As only Jews are good.

Cute is just because it is small... don't put too much emphasis on that.

Mine gets mistaken for a GTR all the time... but thats because I am making mine look like one lol. I take it as a compliment

I pulled up to a car show and two older men who also owned new 370's a coupe and a convert came over to me when I parked and asked me if "FairLady" was some special model that they never heard about. I have the FairLady Z badge on the car. I had to explain to them the history of the FairLady Z emblem and they looked at me like I had two heads.

Ive had 2 people say nothing special about your leased base model z, you don't even have the sport package and technically the bank still owns it.

Kinda hurt my feelings

I got... damn, that's a nice 300zx.

Zenki370 · 07-10-2012, 05:00 PM

The first week I had my Z, someone yelled Zs are gay when I had my windows down at low speed. I laughed at him, because his girlfriend smacked him after he yelled it.
