Yep, Kids love these cars. I don't know what it is. Probably the small size and aerodynamic design.

Back at the office I have 3 book-shelfs filled with scale-model Zs & a Nismo-GTR. It basically looks like a shrine to the Z. Long story short, during last year's 'bring your kid to work day' one of the groups was passing down the isles when they stopped by. You should have seen the boy, he was in complete awe! His sisters were not too interested, but the kid looked like it was Christmas Morning.

Too bad my Z was at the shop that day, it would have been nice to show him the real deal.

the kid screams out in excitement, "THAT'S A FAST CAR! THAT'S A FAST CAR!"

Tonight, I was walking back to my car after work, and there was this
kid about 5 years old with his mom near my Z.
The kid walks up to my Z, stairs at it for a minute(thank God he didn't touch it lol)
and tells his mommy, "Mommy, I want this car!"

Over the last year and a half of owning my Z, I've received many compliments
from grown males and females, but I must say it feels better to be
complimented by pure, little children.
I thought this kind of thing only happens to supercars, but today proved me wrong.
Just thought I would share
this has happend to me once when i went up to frankln lake by coldwater and molhuland. i was going to the lakes for some sitye seeing and picture taking with my GF. as i was drivin through the narrow road there was maybe 3 4 kids like 12 13 years old. and i had just gotten a carwash so my PPW was CLEEEAN! so as i pass by one kid looks at me and yells out "hey mister! thats a nice car!" then the rest start to agree with him. i looked at the kids, smiled, and siad thanx.


but otherwise ive gotten compliments from many grown-ups. i was asked what kind of porsche it was by a bum in downtown LA lol. i told him it was a nissan and he flipped out! he was like no way thats a nissan this and that. so i showed him the logo on the front bumper and he started talkin about how nice the car is and how im BALLLLLIN!!!

Yeah, cops give attention too.

A few weeks ago, late at night, a cop was behind me in the next lane over. He kept speeding up, passing me and slowing back down, letting me pass. He was just begging for me to go even 1 mph over. I was filming him on my camera phone in case he did pull me over, cause its illegal for them to provoke someone like that.

i get alot of compliments from older people i mean like 80 years old lol they love the z i think its the best when you get complimented by real old people or real young people. I get compliments all the time ive had people pull up to me and ask how much did you spend on that car it is awesome both females and males they usually say is it as fast as it looks i tell them maybe not as fast as it looks but its quick for sure i love the compliments.

friend of mine owned a gas station next to a CHP station and he used to race with the CHPpies all the time on the freeway in his 69 camero SS.

Around here a lot of the ice cream "trucks" are older vans that with all the windows highly tinted. Makes you wonder everytime you see one. In this day and age I would not be surprised. It's a scary world for a parent anymore.

Wow... the kid's really like the Z's around the world...

Here in my country it is mostly kids and teens that compliment my car, but kids are honest 100% and tell what they think. It is very cool to see them

Several older people also love the looks and will compliment the car, usually when I am doing a red light I have someone looking and giving the thumbs up
