lol i live in a court basically, and i live at the top where it loops around, and i've been parking on the side of the street under the tree's for shade since there is house work being done at my house. so like two days ago I was working under the tree, installing my new strut bar and doing some engine work, and my neighbor from 2 houses down comes out of his house, and says:
him: "hey ... i just woke up and thought i'd come out and say nice car ..."
me: "oh thanks man"
him: "ok i'm going back to sleep"
lol funny.
and just today i was out to lunch with some of my friends, and we were standing around talking about one parking space over from where my car was, and i see a old man with his wife and daughters walk past my car to get to the restaurant, and the old man was like "ceotran.." (my license plate name), and i heard him say something like "must be a c.e.o" and took out a camera to snap a pic of my license plate ... i hope it was just admiration and not to send to the cops .... lol but nonetheless i thought it was flattering.

Does a women flicking you off for no reason count as a sort of compliment?
If not it would be this one girl lowering her window getting half way out, and giving me a two thumbs up.

It seems to be a common misconception... I know there was a thread about how people tend to think its a porsche at first glance.

I just got my new Nismo last night. I took the car for a 200 mile spin this afternoon, up into the mountains (Colorado). I was passing through a small town when I stopped at a light. This 60+ year old guy pulls up next to me in a Z06 -- and gives me a thumbs up!

"That's not a porsche? Fine, best Nissan I've ever seen then..whatever letter it goes by."
I didn't know whether to be a little offended, but now thinking in retrospect, what a cool lady and refreshing compliment.

well, the best compliment i get about my car is how everyone remarks at how clean i keep my car. When i get asked how old it is and i tell them i bought it November 2003 the response is "wow, that car still looks brand new". even if it is slightly dirty the car looks clean. dang i love zaino. plus it makes me feel good about a job well done because of the time i put into keeping it looking good. only hand wash and dry, i even wipe out the inner wheel wells

just came down from a run at GMR with some friends, S14, DC5, and WRX. we pulled into the in-n-out on azusa (sp?) to graba bite before back home. as i walked up to get place my order there was an older couple (55-60) walking back to their car. as they were passing me,
wife: "what kind of car is that? the red one"
me: "its a nissan 350Z"
wife: "you have a very very beautiful car there"
husband: "that you do buddy."
me: "thank you"

first of all great thread, it took me forever to get to the end of this thing
this weekend i was driving down I-90 i was crusing in the middle lane going about 70 when i noticed a white crossfire coming up quik on my rightside so he crossed right in front of me and went over to the left side then kept going ahead, i couldnt resist so i dropped it into third and caught up to him in a no-time, cruised next to him for about ten seconds then hit the gas and lost him
20mins later i stopped at a gas station to get some snacks and stuff, and when i was coming out he was parked next to me, and was out walking around my car, he asked if he could look under the hood, i said sure and he said "man i shoulda payed the extra 10k and bought one of these"
it pretty much made my day

Best compliments, hmmm, one of them would have to be this little girl that took a picture of my car when i rolled up to an intersection, they were vacationing down here in orlando. And then the other would have to be how many people ask me what kind of rims I have on my car and they get surprised to hear that there stock rims but just painted. See below.

i was sitting in an AT&T store where my cousin works in clear view of my Z and my cousins Z. As i'm sitting there something told me to look back at the cars and i see 2 guys and a girl checking out our cars. Then i see one of the guys stand between our cars as the girl takes a picture of him. The other guy was taking pictures with his phone. Thought that was pretty cool to see.
