What's the best compliment you have gotten?
Our VP has a Boxster S. I'm pretty sure he is trying to sell it now. He doesn't get close to the comments that I get. Not even close. And I did mention to him that if he ever wants to hit a track.....

lol.. had my car for about a two months, and took it down to the heart of my city (had to go across town for best buy) as soon as i pulled up to a van a guy stuck his head out of the window and told me to pull over so he can get my number...my boyfriend was sitting in the passager seat. HA!
got the usual "nice porsche!" comment couple of times and also a funny one some days ago: into the parking lot of a shopping mall, 3 guys on an old golf model turned their head to check the Z and almost crashed into the car next to them
their faces were priceless and i laughed out loud
And my neighbour which is 60+ yrs old sayd "damn im too old for this ****" drooling at the Z, also couple of girl giving the Z some sexy n dirty glances

I thought we had a thread for 'whats the meanest thing someone has said' but I couldn't find it so i'll put this in here.
It was an after work happy hour and one of the guys brought a girl none of us had ever met before. So someone mentioned my Z and this girl goes off on a rant about how "the Z is one of the girliest cars ever" and "they suck and are slow unless you do a ton of $*1t to them."
But it turned out she was one of those people that always has to 1-up you with a better story (fake or not) and she seemed real insecure and jealous overall. So her opinion matters not to me

The other day I was sitting in my car at a parking lot, and this guy jumps out of a Toyota and literally does a walk around with me in it. It was kind of freaky/creepy. So when he got right behind my exaust I turned the engine on and revved it a little. Poor guy jumped, waived at me with a smile on his face and watched me leave.
My poor girlfriend thought I was going to get car jacked. It was really strange. This happen to anyone else?

Say: "Oh, I understand why you're jealous of the Z, because it has curves and you certainly don't."
I've gotten a few here and there. Z's have become rather common around my area in NorCal so most people here understandably aren't as ecstatic to see one. Most compliments have been on the color (Daytona Blue), especially in broad daylight, when the car just gloooowwwwws.

Ive only owned my black 03' track ed. w/ nismo lip and spoiler all around and nismo wheels for about 9 days.
so far ive gotten
Friends house, his neighbor: Wow, is that your dads new car! Its sharp!
Friends Dad: wow, What kind of car is this? Ive never seen one like that before.
Random girls in an altima at a light: Hey! What kinda car is that?!? Nice!
Friend: You might have the best looking car in my entire county.
Friend: You and your sexy a$$ car getting me into trouble (dropped her off)
Supervisor: You must be big ballin ! (NO lol)
Driving behind a yellow schoolbus on a one way: I notice after a while the kids in the bus are looking back and waving and going crazy pointing and stuff...So i get right up to the bus and give them a wave and turn on the hid's...They make a right turn and i give them a nice 3rd gear pull...
My favorite one: My car is getting a hand wash/dry in the back at a local car wash place and im waiting with everyone else for there car and i see this girl that works on base with me. So we start chatting it up a little bit and perfect timing my car is ready to be vacuumed. So the guy drives to where everyone sees it and starts vacuuming it. While were talking she keeps looking at the car (everyone else also) and finally says "God i love that car" and i say "thanks"..totally ignoring my acknowledgement...She then keeps talking about it and finally (perfect timing) the guy looks up, gives me a thumbs up and walks to me and says she's ready. i say "thanks bro" ..she says.."Oh thats your car?"..."yeah seeya around" ...........then chased an s2000 on the freeway....
I am 20 and i do imagine i look like some young rich boy punk (beenie/hat to the side/hoodies etc.) but before this i was on the other side of the spectrum of the tuning scene (91' se-r turbo) but i am working hard for what i have and am very grateful but the COUNTLESS LOOKS i get its hard to keep a straight face but i do play calm/cool but inside i feel like a lil kid..its not till im a mile or two away when i laugh to myself lol
The best compliment is when i pull up and park somewhere (usually in the "open" spot lol) when people are already staring at the car and staring at me before i even walk into the building, then proceed to murmur to there friends and what not...Or when the car is parked and people walking in are trying to "guess" who the owner is lol..very funny because when i leave you can tell there like...wait.... wait...noooo..no...what?? his?? ...lol...

Haven't had it too long so far, only about 3 weeks. About a week after I got it the entire family from across the street knocked on my door and said they heard I had a new Z. They made me open up the garage and show them everything. I thought that was cool.
The guy a few houses down to the left has a daughter that has a Z that I had been staring at for about 2 years now. Her car is what I see when I'm at the kitchen sink. He asked me the first day he saw I had it if it was stock. It is. He just had not see the version with the hood bulge yet.
A guy down the street in the other direction has a Orange Z with Nismo rims and ground effects all the way around, I used to stare at his everytime he drove by. I don't think he knows I have one, it's always in the garage with a sheet over it.
The guy on the next street over has a black one he garages all the time. I used to pray that when I walked the dog he had it outside so I could stare at it.
I still get compliments on my 4 year old Titan (I keep it nice), so I can only imagine what the Z will get.
The car is so new I still have the dealers tank of gas in it. More than 1/2 a tank. It has less than 200 miles on it.
One of my bosses at work has an 05 roadster (white), since he found out I have a new Z he talks to me alot more. He is trying to get me to practice drifting at a place he found. A new subdivision that built one house and then went bankrupt. All the roads are in place, but no one lives there and there is no traffic.

The best compliments that all of us will get are the ones when people just look at the car. When I drive it, it gets looks from young people , middle aged people, older people. Parked the same. It does'nt always take words to be a compliment.
I get up early on weekends and drive to my local Tim Hortons. Say 7AM. I then park in a spot that I have a great view that won't be blocked by other cars, and I watch people walk by my car. I enjoy the slowed pace, the pointing it out to their friends. The wife looking at it and pretending to get off to make her husband laugh. The kids whose parents have to get them to watch where they are going. I love it.
Sad isn't it?
Best $1.71 I spend each week. Extra large triple triple. Does more for my mood than any counselling would do! lol
Kind of like watching people checking out your wife. Without the jealousy part.
