... you can really pick your nose or scratch your ***** anymore because you feel you're being watched

... when guys at the autopart counter asks you "what year and make is your vehicle", you proudly, but subtley respond by saying "Nissan 350Z"

... you like driving up to parking attendants, toll booths, drive-thrus because you get to roll down the windows and hear the throaty exhaust

... you eat fast so you don't have to leave the car out on the street for too long (especially Chinatown)

... you have bigger forearm muscles in your left arm from opening/closing the heavy Z door

... you consciously think about how you're going to fill the car up this time so you'll get a full tank instead of 3/4.

... you turn down invitations for drinks/clubbing in downtown for fears you have to park on the streets

... you scroll through your mpg/tire pressure/dte/clock/speedo every time you start your car eventhough the same info appears every time

... you try to get in/get out of your car as gently as possible so you don't wear out the side bolsters

... when u park your car by backing up, it takes you a little longer than usual

... you look back at the car after you park it

... you walk around your car to check for damages before you get into it

... you have an S2000 antenna

When you feel like **** (worse than getting stood up by a chick when you were about to bang that thing) after you dirve the z harder than you should of have....


When you constantly think about going FI and picture yourself beating Porche/M3/AMGs and telling your buddies you are all stock !!!


When you feel uncomfortable from the attention the car gets you


When you park your car in the back when walking to a coffe shop So people don't stare at you (what can I say live in alberta canada I have seen 2 ZRs here in the past 5 months )

When someone asks what kind of car you have, your answer is, as if you don't care "A Nissan", so you can surprise them with an eyeful of Z in the flesh.

....even if you're stock, you know and avoid ALL the steep driveways at your local supermarket/mall parking lot.

...when you go fast food drive-thru, you roll your bag air-tight then roll down the windows. Gawd forbid the Z smells like french fries.

....you stay in 2nd gear around town and let your mpg go to hell, just so you can hear her howl.
