Default Ever see a fellow Z on the road?

I always see others Z's around and needless to say, i hate it .
But its always fun to mess with other Z's.

Unless it's a planned cruise or event, the other Z owners are usually non-enthusiasts and gawk at my car when I creep by at 3500 RPM ( my car sounds wicked )..

its a VERY popular car here in AZ since we dont have any weather issues. although there is a huge enthusiast crowd here.... still dosent make up for how many non-enthusiasts there are. atleast 1 comes to my work everyday, and only females 35+ go to my work. its funny sometimes, they have the seat pulled all the way forward so their face is on the windshield.

granted this car is still sick BONE STOCK. cuz mine is, unless you count a ARC titanium radiator shroud

I don't see many in Canada.
But yes you do run into the Z's that people either
A) Just don't care about
B) Could barely afford so they drive them all winter and they end up a mess anyways.

I dont see too many other Z's on the road. A friend of mine owns one, but other than that, not too many in the area.

The reason that you often see 350Zs on the road is because California is the most popular 350Z state. Its a fact.

hate seeing other Z's on the road with non enthusiasts. I LOVE meeting new z's with drivers who actually protect there car. but i hate seeing some middle aged hotshot man who thinks hes the **** cuz he leased a 2003 base used Z.

or even worse is the housewife who drives the car like its a minivan, and treats it like a trashcan.

the worst is the enthusiast Z driver who doesnt wave back. come on. if you see another Z driver, wave! be proud of what you have and dont always try and race just cuz u have the same car.

I rarely see more than 2 per week here in Denver and have only driven past Zs in my own Z a handful of times. I've lost count of the "What in the world is that?" (jaw agape) question at gas stations and parking lots around the city. Even my Amsoil dealer asked me that! He added "Man alive!" to the beginning of the above question.

I really don't see many Z's in Lancaster ... maybe once every other week i'll run into one and gawk. (I don't own one, too poor )

There's a lot of money in this area - I just don't see many z's. Tons of BMW and Mercedes, though.
