not to hijack the thread.. but I do too! you all in the D.C. area?

Project Salvo with 18" Apex Barrel, response trigger, cyclone feeding system, collapsible stock, holo sight, coil over, and HPA tanks. As close to my M4 as I could get it

 

I've honestly gotten a lot of compliments in the first 2 weeks of owning my Z.

2003 Touring package, Chrome Silver Metallic, lowered very tastefully on the stock rims.
Get alot of random people screaming "nice car"! Especially while picking up my little brother from high school or just randomly driving around.

BEST ONE so FAR was the second day I had my Z, a GT-R pulled up next to me, and gave me a thumbs up, and said "you have yourself a beautiful car." Obviously, I was telling him how much more beautiful his car was

 

I think that GT-R owners secretly want 350z's and 350z owners secretly want GT-R's

 

go to the mid-a regional thread an post I know a few of the locals play

 

I dont think we secretly want a gtr, more like openly

 

Yah, that's true
I mean sure the GT-R is badass, but you can't just not like a Fairlady :P

 

I have an interlagos 06 track and I was downtown one day and some black kid in the montecarlo next to me goes damn man thats a nice car, what that cost like a hunad, hunad twenty thousand? Left his *** at the light lol

 

today i finally got the porsche compliment. from an older guy, he was amazed it was only a 2003, said it looked like a 2011. Says he needs to pick himself up one for sure now haha.

 

 

Well my story is I parked my Z in this parking lot and got out when i heard a guy say:

guy: "DAMN, that's sexy"

me: "uhh what did you just say?"

guy;"oh **** I'm sorry that was rude, but I meant you and your beautiful car are sexy!"

me: "uhhhh thanks?!"

I have to admit I didn't really like getting hit on by a guy that was twice my age but hell, I loved the compliment about my Z!!! hahaa

 

My gf said it was "beautiful" when she first saw it, and she doesn't like modified cars that look like they are trying too hard, and friends of my father's who are more into hot rods and muscle cars of the '70s talk to me about my car and appreciate it. That, and my son loves it. I have a picture of him standing outside to go look at it the day after I got it home. Can't beat these compliments, as it shows the car gets respect from all forms: from my son who's a child, to my girlfriend who isn't into cars, to the next generation older than me who love old-school cars. None of these groups really know the car, yet respect it.

Also, I've been told it looks like a Porsche and have had friends claim they'll be buying a Porsche Cayman next, even though I think the performance is spot on with a Cayman. Whatever the case, it's compared to Porsches.

 

Me at McDonalds at 4am the other night, tired as hell from driving and just wanted to get home.

Guy: Welcome to McDonalds can I take your order.
Me: Bacon, egg and cheese biscuit, large orange juice and that's it.
Guy: Nice Z
Me: Excuse me?
Guy: Pull around to the second window for your total.

Pull to second window...

Guy: (Tells me the price on my food and hands me my card back) Omg I love your car.
Me: Thanks man.
Guy: You look good in it too.
Me: Uhhh thanks man (I'm gay but this was still odd as I'm no fairy boy)
Guy: What did you order again?
Me: Number 3, large orange juice.
Guy: Oh yeah (Leaves and comes back), So take me for a ride sometime? You don't see many of those around here and you really keep it clean.
Me: Sure but you have a good morning man.

And commence driving away to the sound of a Fujitsubo catback.

 

STL, they can see you while you order at McD's? I never knew that!

 

It's the only way to see what you look like, on your own at least. I haven't found a place to do this yet, but tried it once with my son.

 

Yeah they have a CCD camera and tv so they know when people are in line. This is also one of those fancy dual drive through's.

 

I had an older gentlman ask me what year my car was and I told him 03 and he said he thought it was brand new. My car shine like it just came out of the factory minus the dents on the doors.

 

FINALLY got the first "nice porsche!" compliment

*facepalm*

 

Well sitting at a local Starbucks a couple came in and the lady was asking her man "What Nissan is that?" ..his reply.."oh that's a GTR, they made a video game using that car."
I just smiled..I'll take that compliment .

Rich
'08 Nismo.

 

I know I still laugh about that ish today haha

 

*Husband and wife pull up next to me in a camaro ss*
Wife: "I really love your car, especially the sunset orange you have on it."
Me: "Thank you. Thats one of the reasons why I bought it."
Husband: " Aw, babe that just some japanese POS, its slow as ***** compared to American cars."
Wife: "Thats ok, it still looks better than YOUR car."
Me: ". you guys have a good one."

*smoke camaro on the on-ramp*
