Default When you spot another 370z..

So I've been driving around my 40th for a few months now and have only seen a few z's around. I spot the 350 on the road a mile away with those tail/headlights and brag to myself because I have a 370.

When I spot a 370z, I chuckle inside because I have a sport package. When I spot a 370z with a sport package I grin to myself because my 40th wheels+red calipers and car color is awesomer(my opinion)

Then just yesterday... I spot a 370 Nismo on PCH and I couldn't stop thinking to myself "That mother effer!" I couldn't believe how jealous I got.

Anyone else get similar thoughts when you spot another one?

Just in case it was your Nismo, the plate read "LOVE JW" it looked damn good

Edit: we are all adults here and should not take my own natural thoughts personally. It was spotting one on the road that made me get one in the first place.

The only other 370 I've seen near me is identical to what I have and I think the lady driving had one foot in the grave.

When i see another Z, i wave or give a quick dbl flash of the headlights. I really dont feel neither superior nor inferior to other models of Zs.

Hahaha I hear what you're saying and yes I kinda think that way, though I'd still take my 40th over a Nismo. I love seeing other 370z' on the road, you get to check it out in motion which is sexy where as mine is only parked when I get to see it.

I give a wave/thumbs up to all Z drivers

Yes, because everyone is not an angel. The moral of the story is there is always something better and I was shown up. I guarantee the majority of people compare when alongside a similar vehicle. Sure parked at a "meetup" everyone is nice, but the road is a different story. So excuse me for taking pride in a vehicle I purchased myself without anyone's help. I'm not implying that you didn't buy yours on your own, but at 24 years old, that's kinda a big deal in my eyes.


Edit: I don't literally pull alongside and laugh at people or anything. It's an inside feeling.

Seems like your kind of acting like your high and mighty. The real morale of the story is keep feelings like this to yourself, nobody cares how well your doing or how you feel when you see someone with a car not as nice as yours. Just saying.

P.S I was 23 when I bought my Z Na Na Na Na Poo Poo stick you head in DOO DO.

No. Mine is loaded and I chose against Nismo intentionally. If I see a base model, I am still happy to see another Z just like mine.

I saw a Lamborghini a few days ago and felt content with what I had in comparison. I didn't get that feeling "I wish I owned that." Maybe it's an age thing? I'm 32. I guess I don't really get over whelmed with that internal jealousy feeling.

Meh

Edit:

I wave/nod to all other Z drivers too.

Wow, I'm just happy to see another Z. Not everything needs to be a competition brah.

Although I do wish other Z owners around here were as happy to see me, have only gotten one wave from a 350.

Angry much? I don't get pissed off but it appears that you do. You know the moment you get angry you lose. looks like you lost. My feeling is you are a bitter little troll and since this is America, I can say that If you don't like my feelings then you can take your tears elsewhere.

i saw another CY Z round where i work the other day. i was at a light and had to wait 5-7 sec before it was green so i could go. when i could go i caught up as quick as i could. it was a base CY. i waved to them since they obviously have great taste like me and bought the fastest color Z you can buy
