Have you ever walked out to your car and someone was checking out your Z?

yea, i really don't like it when people leave their hand prints on my ride. i always like to say,"see with your eyes and not with your hands". i get a lot of rubber neckers when i drive in the alhambra/monterey park area also the san gabriel area. it makes me feel good that people admire my ride. there was a time when i went to the citadel outlet to have lunch with my girlfriend and i parked my Z at an area that had absolutely had plenty of other parking spots available for other people to park. then i saw a camry that just had to park next to my car. i just had to keep my eyes on them to see what they were going to do. so once they got out of there car, they started to check out my ride, and looking around leaving the greazzzy prints on my window, and checking it my wheels. it got me worried a bit. lucky no damage or scratches. then there was another time when i was at target, and after i parked my car, these 2 ladies came up to me and started talking to me about my ride, what kinda car is it, how much it cost. they just loved my car. don't get excited guys, these ladies are old and just plain old and ugly. i was like, why can't they be young and FINE. i also admire other fixed up z's and other moded cars too. i just admire from a distance, and respect their ride.

I checked it out and he didn't dent or scratch it thank god.
LOL! Actually, one time I was walking up to my motorcycle and some little (about 5-nothing) dude was sitting on my bike! The fu@ker had the kick stand down and had both of his feet on the pegs! He was tucked down (like he was racing), giving it throttle (flooding my engine) and making motorcycle shoulds with his mouth! At first, I thought it may've been a kid or something. Then as I walked closer, I didn't want to run up on him as he may've been startled and could drop my bike, he was an adult! So then, I thought that he may be "handicapped" or had somekind of "challenge" about him.

No. He was not a child and he was not retarded! I walked up to him, smiled...and said, "hey man. wha'cha doing?" He got off the bike and said, "i'm looking to buy one and didn't know if i'd fit!" The guy wasn't even apologetic or anything! So I said, "that's what dealership floors are for. go to a dealership and sit on one of their bikes...how would you feel, if you came home and i'm in your living room, sitting in your favorite chair, drinking your beer, beating your children and fu@king your wife?" (yes, I can do all four at the same time )He looked at me with a strange puzzled look...

People are stupid. I don't mind them checking out my stuff. If anything, it's more of a compliment. But when they start molesting and desecrating another man's tranportation--I gotta draw the line.

Funny story, my brother had a remote starter on his '90 TT Z. He saw some people checking out his car from a distance. So he hit the remote start button and they freaked out!!

I did something just as funny at a bbq last summer. These 3 girls were checking out my car. So i waited until one of them was actually 'feeling' up the fender and then i hit the PANIC button on the remote!! She freaked out and screamed like crazy. My laughter was probably just as loud. She came back and told me, "I love your car, but your alarm is so sensitive".

I was coming home from work the other day and some guy stuck his head out of his window and yelled, "Nice Porsche!!" Then he went DOH & hit himself in the head when he realised it was a Z.

I get it all the time as well. I work at a college and find both male and female students checking it out all the time. I've got a PPW one and there is another one, al stock, that likes to park next to me now as well as a 90's model in white. I catch them staring all the time. I love it when the little girls ask for rides, especially in front of their boyfriends. Boy, are the suprised when they see it's an "old guy" driving!

If I see them I usually hit the panic button. Its funny to see the different reactions you get from people. Sometimes I will walk out and they will be in awe that im getting in since im 5"8 and look 15yrs old. LOL

My favorite is if I'm out driving with my father (mind you it is my car and I am behind the wheel), and we stop somewhere and they ask my father how much he bought it for and how long he's owned it WTF?!
