Best Red Light Questions

Footloose301 · 07-28-2014, 07:11 AM

When I first got the Z like 4 years ago people used to ask me about it all the time. Now people just take photos of it at lights.

Twice in the past two weeks: What is that, a Porsche?

No. It's a Datsun.

When people pull up behind me they usually snap my plates... 'BVEX ###'. I thought it was fate I got that plate from the dealer

Him "Is that thing fast?"

Me: "No"

Him "It looks fast."

Last year, I had one of the regular panhandlers at an intersection on my way to work say to me, "I'm going to have to confiscate your vehicle. You know you can't drive 350Z on the street anymore, right?"

I responded, "Well, then it's a good thing I drive a 370Z." He said, "Oh $hit!" and gave a laugh

I was asked when I was ordering tires a long time ago (from Wal Mart) if my 240sx was a V4 or a V2

I face palmed pretty hard

Was wondering if you guys had any funny dumb questions/stories about things people have said/asked about your Z.

was in this redneck town and some chick in a pickup with her boyfriend or husband or cousin or stranger asked if i liked sushi.

wtf kind of question is that?

i luv sushi!

One guy asked if it was a lotus..
some other teenager in a V6 mustang tried telling me how much faster his stock mustang is than the Z. He peeled off and I just shook my head.

I don't live out in the woods, but I had two redneck kids in an old hard body pull up next to me at a grocery store stop sign. The driver leaned out his window towards my Z and said "Yo, light 'em up." I couldn't help but laugh as I pulled away normally.

Masterbeatty · 07-28-2014, 01:13 PM

Me: yha pretty fast thanks
