Do Z owners think they're cool?
 

After having my 3rd encounter with âsshole Z owners I'm starting to think that a handful of Z owners think that they are better than everyone else on the road. EVEN WHEM I'M IN THE SAME CAR! Is it cause my car isn't 100% stock like yours? (sarcasm) I try to give all car enthusiasts some recognition wether it be a head nod, thumbs up, wave, whatever... But I have had a couple encounters with other Z owners that when I wave or try to give them some props on their car they either stare at me like I'm bothering them, or completely blow me off. It sucks to be in the car scene when others make fellow Z owners look like douche bags [Middle Finger]

That's weak sauce :shakes head: :gtfo2:

to each their own. with every car group there are bound to be @$$ holes mingling with the good people.

I understand that but I just wouldn't expect that from someone driving the exact same car. But maybe that's just me

I'm on a couple of car fora and have been an enthusiast of a number of models (Mustang, 4Runner, JK, Xterra, Tundra). Z owners have been the most affable and helpful and are usually easily approachable. I haven't experienced what you have; really a bit of the opposite. I'm not sure if your experience is an anomaly or mine.

Jeep guys have the well known "jeep wave", but it is still a pretty nutty crowd (and it's often not the good kind of nutty). I sort of think of many of my jeep buddies as what would result if Wayne La Pierre humped a really talented mechanic in the butt.

This is not the BMW Forum....:wtf2:

Well, to be honest Z's are kind of douchey.:icon17:

But who cares? Drive what you want, enjoy what you drive, and piss on what other people think.

"Do Z owners think they are cool". ?????? I damn well know I am!!!!

But from the other point of view (just being a devils advocate) - just because you drive the same car that I do, does that automatically make you my best buddy? Do I have to wave at every person that drives a similar car to mine?

Not saying I feel that way. Just presenting the other side of the argument.

Yap, check the handle. :tup:

couldn't think of a diy for this thread.. :ugh:

:wtf2:

coolt oy? :confused:

I miss the Z scene! I went to ZCON 2010 and the people I met there were awesome. The whole experience is what cemented my love of the Z heritage. I currently drive a 2014 Mustang and as much as I enjoy the car, I find the community to be lacking the camaraderie of the Z community. Looking forward to the next gen Z and hopefully my ticket back. Denver's local Z chapter is pretty cool as well.

I know a few Z owners personally that are some of the coolest/humble people. I know that not everyone is a douchey owner. I think that I'm pretty approachable and would be able to strike up a conversation with other enthusiasts around me, but I guess some hold to themselves. I wish I got some pics of the faces these people make though, if facial expressions could be translated it's almost like "Why are you talking to me?" and then "Want to see how fast I can go?" but oh well Nismo89 is right, to each their own.

Not saying you gotta be friends with everyone but it's just weird that this has happened on more than a couple occasions :cool:

Maybe it's you?;) j/k

i wish i was cool

But you thought it, right?

let's change the subject...

wat did you guys have for dinner tonight? :yum:

:eekdance:

but you are, xip. :tup:

+1:driving:

But seriously, there are some douchy Z owners out there. On the other hand, the ones Ive met are actually pretty cool. :tup:

diy - how to change subject.

ask wat they had for dinner

I plan to become a total a-hole, when I finally get my Z.



Oh wait.........too late.

Im with H2O, I've had primarily great encounters with fellow Z brethren. There have been a couple though that seemed bothered by the fact that I waved at them… Oh well. Chan, I had broccoli and cheddar soup with a turkey sandwich and yogurt! What about you?

Im sure somewhere in a prius forum someones having the same dilemma...:rofl2: every car scene has those few people

I guess the OP never been to ZdayZ....

so i guess im uncool too... :ugh: oh well.

Hey, I have a thread for these types of things. :tup:

Nope

So thats why I've always considered this the perfect car for me.

Now I'm off to find the loudest exhaust possible, I'm gonna make Honda owners poop their pants when they're next to me.

:stirthepot:

bring it on! me and my 96 civic arent afraid of you :rofl2:

cat deletes and aam short tails and your done… Ask me how I know.

look at the quote under your name and there's your answer

EX model you should take him....LX then it will be a drivers' race....

i have a DX...weight savings over the LX plus the same power = winning! :bowrofl:

I did the same thing, ran test pipes with short tails……… after about 2 weeks I put the muffler back on :shakes head:

love the OEM exhaust with my GTM test pipes :tup:

I believe I will be doing the same thing. At idle, its the best sounding car in the world. Anything above 1000 rpms and my ears bleed. lol.

all Z owners be like Attachment 83201

:icon18: what killed me was the drone on the highway when you were cruising in 5th or 6th :shakes head: I loved it as long as I was on the throttle and shifting gears :driving: but at a constant RPM = SUPER DROAN!

HAHA, no joke, I've been putting my gun range ear plugs in!!! Super unsafe but well worth it lol.

Never had a Z problem... But I am a dbag... To FRS/BRZ drivers, lol


I don't wave to 350Zs unless they wave first usually

Not a toyoburu guy yourself? lol I wave at every 370z I see. Sometimes I'm let down and sometimes I get a nice wave back.
