Just washed me car yesterday the weather was nice. I went cruising around town and I swear I was getting stares from everyone. I have a red Nismo and it was so cool to have so many people stare at my ride. At one stop sign some guy pulled up with a modded Civic. His girl was all over my car so I looked at her and she gave me a smile, when the lights turned green he spun his wheels and took off, made me laugh

Its because they see the Supra and go "2JZ... no sh1t" and know it will decimate all. After you overnight some parts from Japan.

After more than 3 years of ownership, my still showroom new red Z continues to draw stares and compliments when I drive it. In Western PA, these cars are still unusual, bordering on rare. I'm pleased and comfortable with it and enjoy answering peoples' questions about my Z.

I'll notice people glancing at it on the freeway and such, at least I think that's what they're doing.
I don't see a ton here in Phoenix (lots of 350's though), but we don't seem to get as much attention as others say they are, which is good and bad. |

Dude -- you have the same name as the lead singer/bass player from Rush. I am not kidding. This is indeed an interesting coincidence.

Nothing is more uncomfortable than pulling up next to an Audi R8.. jesus christ that car is sex... Had another one pull up across from me at a gas station a month before.. It's like I'm being haunted.

I get from stares to mid fingers. Every time I'm at a gas station or at a store, someone comes out or as they walk by, they have the "urgency" to say something. 99% of the times are nice complements. At the mall, I park so far away, not even cell phone coverage can reach my vehicle. So nobody has nothing to say out there. Sometimes as I drive around town, minding my business, there is a moron who wants to test my patience. I gladly pull over when possible and invite them to fight, by then they realize I have bigger "cojones" and decide to just keep on diving.
Talking about middle age and frustrated individuals. There has been a few in their "40ish or 50ish" years old drivers (mostly driving a minivan with 5 0r 6 kids screaming and yelling in the back seats) that give me the dirty look or the mid finger. WTF, what have I done? I smile at them and give them my mid finger, most of the times my finger is bigger than theirs. OUCH it hurts!!!!!
