Default Admired and hated for my "100K" car, LOl!

I was coming out of a local bakery to see that there were two guys peering into my car window from across the street. When they were done peering, they crossed over to my side of the street. They were talking to each other about how they couldn't understand someone buying a 100K car and just parking it so causally like that, LOL! If only they knew.

Disclaimer: 350Z in my city is not that common, I see more Porsche then 350Z.

And my car isn't even that modded look-wise, just a lip and rims:

I had similar comments when I first got mine in 12/2002. Makes one feel good.

I still get compliments...now mostly due to the Brick color. People now used to Z but few Bricks out there.
