Do people treat you differently because of what you drive? IMO YES!

Yes, my social life changed dramatically when i got my Z. Likewise, I went out of my way to talk and become friends with people because of their cars. If we both have the same interests, we would prob get along and we did. Going to cars and Coffee with a Tiburon i was more of a watcher, now with the Z im part of the shows, going on cruises, making Friends, ect. I wouldn't say its just that people like the Z and not me, they like me because i choose to buy the Z.

On an opposite note, some of my friends didn't like that i bought the Z, they were jealous, or thought i was a sell out or something and never took an interest in it, despite being car guys since we were young.

I guess there is a certain degree of physco analysis that can be done for this, do people/girls like YOU or the car? Are they using you to get to the car? Or do they like you because you like cars, ect.
