now I often get, wow nice car, comments and the frequent stares and glances. but today i got a first...

Im driving down the street and a car turns onto the street going the opposite direction, and this is what I see...



driver and passenger, no Im serious, their mouths made a circle... I donno if they were making a face or not, but they seriously had their mouths wide open. not exagerating, as I drove past I looked in my side mirror and sure enough, the drivers head was cocked around staring at me.

Man do I love my Z.

 

Ares, now that i have mine we need to meet up sometime! I have seen a few heads turn already. I showed it to my buddies at class today and they said they saw a sweet black one last night. I figured it was you!

 

I saw that happen... two teenieboppers in their mothers wagon had their faces plastered to the window with their mouths open like that

 

First.. I drove to work.. nice day.. sunny and no clouds.. my DBZ was sitting south of my building which is 10 yards from the main road and across from a large open area south of the airport... Here I am in my office talking with my boss and we hear a real loud wacking noise coming from the area my car is at... I say what the hell is that and run out expecting a runway cleaner truck to be throwing rocks and trash all over my Z... no!!

.. as my boss and I dash out the door.. we look across the street right into the chain gun of a apache cobra chopper which is hovering about 75 yards away pointing right at my Z and they are sitting there 20 ft off the ground... smiling and waving as they saw us run out! They then went up and over our head to the helocopter landing area.. unfortunatly as they did this they layed a fine coat of dust all over my Z.... My boss was laughing at me... saying ..gee now ya gotta go wash it huh... guess you need some time off now huh.. sheesh...

well they two warrent officers stopped by my office about two hours later to get a closer look and then apologise for the dusting... they loved it.. one guy said he was gonna get one...


second thing that happened... on the way home.. I am in front of a pair of senior cits ( elderly ) in a big caddy .. here comes a stop light.. turns red.. I go.. OH S*** they aint stopping.. so I tap the brakes.... the driver is still looking to the left.... oh oh oh... they stopped 5 feet from my rear bumper.. loads of space... they pointed at my Z and gave me all sort of room while looking at her...and smiling....

Whew.. what a day!

EZ

 

A few days after I got my Z I was pulling into my neighborhood movie rental place as an SUV was about the leave the parking lot. The SUV stopped and two kids (14 and 17 I estimate) hopped out, and no shitting, started bowing as if they were worshipping me... in the middle of the parking lot! I pulled in to a parking spot and showed them the car. As it turns out, the older one has a 300Z and a real big Z fan. Nice to meet people with the same passion.. even at that age... I was the same way when I was 17.. all I wanted was a Z.. but had to settle with my Datsun 310.

hehe I have two funny ones

1) a VW bug is waiting to make a right turn onto the street. At first she was looking at other cars to see if it was safe to go. She starts to pull out and as soon as she sees me stares so hard that she forgets her bearing and speed and runs right into and over the center divider...

2) Another time, I look to the right into a four door civic and the whole family, mom, dad, sister and brother are passing me and LOOKING HARD, with the driver not even watching the road at all....

 

Got a thumbsup from an M3...had the old gas station attendant come out, circle my CS Z, and say, "This is a fine automobile sir!"...another thumbsup from a Silverado.

 

I have to laugh every time someone on the sidewalk stops walking as you drive past them. Invariably they turn their bodies as your Z passes as if they are mesmerized. Happens to me at least once a day

 

I was behind a school bus and one of the kids must have said something about my car. Next thing you know every single kids head flies into the aisle and twists around to see one sweet ride.

 

I was filling up at the local Chevron and this really elderly man walks up to me out of no where and asks, "Excuse me, isn't that the new Z??"

Me: "Yes sir, it is."

OldMan: "Its really nice."

Me: "Thanks!"

OldMan: "Mind if I sit down in the driver's seat?"

** pause : begin internal mental dialogue **

Ok, this guy's not into sports cars, is he?! He's probably too old to even drive! Whatever... he's been nice up to this point, there's not harm in letting gramps get behind the wheel with the keys in my pocket.

** resume conversation **

Me: "Sure. Let me get the door for ya."

He gets in, adjusts the seat and says he likes it a lot. Then he drops the bomb.

OldMan: "I've had Z's my whole life. Every generation."

Me: "Really? Cool!"

OldMan: "That's my Z over there."

He points to a black 300ZXTT.... its rrreeaall nice.

Me: --speechless--

OldMan: "Well, thanks for letting me see the Z."

Me: You're welcome.... sir.

I then watch the old man get back to his car, turn it on, and drive away...


I wonder if he'll end up getting the new Z... what am I saying... of course he will. That elderly dude rocks. I hope that when I reach his age, the Z-cars are still around and I can do the same to some young guy. Too cool.

I felt like such an idiot that day for having the mindset of "he's too old to drive."

... That Old Man taught me the meaning of RESPECT.

 

I was driving on the highway today and passed a crotch rocket, he followed till about 100 then as I was exiting he pulled up beside me and just stared as he went by.

 

I think I have you all beat. I'm driving with my wife in Rock Creek Park in DC on some nice twisty roads the day after I got my Z. This beautiful girl is jogging towards me on my side of the road. Right as I get to here, she looks up and stucks her tongue out at me while sorta smiling. My wife sees this and says: "Is she jealous, or did she just ask you out?"

 

-I got a *honk honk* from a turbo S beetle on the freeway and a thumbs up
-I got many turn heads on freeways
-For some reason, I have a feeling that rainy days would cost other cars more accidents since they will forget to pay attention to the road for looking at our cars

 

I got a letter under my wiper tonight. inviting me to john a club. sounded promising, tho the club turned out to be a bit crappy(4 accords and 2 civics, not SI's) I dont think Ill follow up. but still nice to hear.

 

I only seem to get reactions from people driving earlier Z's now. I'm starting to see 350's every time I go out now, although they're always parked. And so far both times I've refueled someone has said something nice. I think I sold a G35C to some guy driving an older G30!

 

Oh yeah, I posted this before too, but I'm pretty sure some guy in a minivan looking at my car almost crashed into someone. I had seen the guy looking when I passed him, and then 10 seconds later his tires screeched as he made a fast stop behind the column of cars waiting for the light.

 

I was driving by Rutgers University the other night and some drunk kid runs up to me at a stop sign and starts yelling " Drive that thing" then proceeds to take out his wallet. He asks me for a 10, then I tell him all I have is 5 singles, He says " give it to me" then he hands me a 20 and says " good luck, drive that thing everywhere" . This was a first.......
