A year ago when I was still in college, I illegally parked my car in the faculty area next to an older Carrera and a 996 turbo. Had to turn in a thesis paper.

Came out to get back into the car and one of the older faculty ladies walking by said,

"I like your porsche! It's the best one in this lot!" :icon11: :p

"Haha thanks but it's a Nissan Z."

"That's not a porsche? Fine, best Nissan I've ever seen then..whatever letter it goes by." :D


I didn't know whether to be a little offended, but now thinking in retrospect, what a cool lady and refreshing compliment.

hahaha funny lady

There's a new guy from Thailand working with us in the lab. He speaks almost no english. He goes up to me and says

"You drive Pawshe??"

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.

Mine was when the car was new back in early 03 a guy was at the liquor store I pulled up to asking me all kinds of questions. While I was in the store paying I overheard he was talking to his buddy outside telling his buddy he could not even afford to sit in my car. I was suprised how he thought the car was expensive.

great guys, keep them coming

i pulled up for gas one night about a week after i got the car. it was about midnight and there was another car there. i pulled up behind an audi rs6 and i immediatley thought **** that car is beautiful. i get out and he looks over and says "i love your car". i was amazed and thank him and then proceeded to compliment his car. i started pumping then he :skidmark: . that thing sounded amazing

^ yea I read that one before...

my story would be the ones i get everyday, i live right by an elementary school and drive by it everyday to go to work...the little kids just love my z...i got an 03 with a seibon hood, nismo exhaust, nismo 18's...they like stop me everday, i hear em yellin as i drive by. its great.

makes me think back to the days when i was that age, lookin at all the cars drive by, makes me feel good everytime i drive by.

keep on keepin on

my story -
i was road raging around my post office about the long line they had just to mail something so on my way back i decided to try to do something crazy with my car. so basically i was rushing a light at a packed intersection and doing a 90 degree left turn with all the traffic lined up ... so i feinted the wrong way then the right way pulled the hand brake and sailed on the throttle... made the drift like it was directly from D1.. then as i was exiting the corner, i see this middle aged bloke in a red dodge viper waiting 3-4 cars behind the stop light giving me a thumbs up and yelled out - "NICE!!!"

haha, i was driving to my gf's and I pass this HS everyday (Redondo Union), it's on a busy street (PCH). So one time they had a game or something, but there were some cheerleaders waiting to cross at the crosswalk from the mcdonalds across the street. As I passed them and I heard a girl shout, "I LOVE YOUR CAR!!!!"

I'm at work and have a screen saver similar to the one above on my computer.

Female customer sits in my cubicle. She notices the photo and says Is that your dream car?

Yes. Its parked outside.:)

The other day I pulled into a 7-11 and a guy standing outside said nice Porsche when I was walking in. I didn't correct him. I just said thanks.

When I first put my wheels on my Z. Black TE-37's (19's). I was at the gas station and a guy and his GF or wife or sister came up to me and said "Wow, what is that?" I told him it's a 350z. He then commented on me not only having a nice car but having new wheels on it. Also while he was walking away he told the girl he was with that my wheels probably cost more then his car.:icon17:

Ive gotten "Your wheels cost more than my car" comment. I feel guilty......for about two seconds. :)

Did some donuts on the dry taxi-way when I first got her.... Everyone rushed out of their hangers to see who was leaving alot of rubber on the apron.
Had 3 pilots "test drive" her in the same manner.
The burn marks remained untill the snow started!lol

Little 5 year old kid screaming "Daddy Daddy buy a car like that!"

Oh and another except for words, when the car was fairly new, I parked it on 46th and Park Ave in NYC, it was detailed and squeaky clean with just my wheels. I wish I had a video camera for the amount of people that'd slow down to look at the car or keep looking back as they walked by or went up and peeped in. Its actually pretty funny and flattering. Most the guys were middle aged businessmen that Im sure make over 100K/year.
