Default First Thing People Ask/Say When They See You And Your Z?

For me the very first question I always get asked when people want to talk to me about my Z is "How many turbo's that thing have" or "is that the turbo model" My Z is pretty much stock besides stillen intakes. It makes me proud to say none sometimes.

People generally ask "what kind of car is that"

Others in the know, say "cool Z" and go on to tell me about their car history including their ownership of some old early model Z's.

Either way it's all good.

yeah people who know what it is usually then want to brag to me about their car. I do get a lot of people who were former Z owners which I love hearing.

The one I got a lot at the office when I first got the Z, "How did you convince the wife to let you get that thing?"

To which I answered that all it took was first suggesting I might want a motorcycle, then it was easy to get her to agree to anything other than a motorcycle.
Mt Tam I am, B&W_Evader and w0rM like this.

I had these two guys come up to me in a bright orange Supra once while I was sitting at a red light asking me "Nice car. What's the retail on one of those?"



I told them, "More than you can afford pal. Nissan." and tried my best impression at doing this:



Didn't end well...
