Default Strange people around where I live...

Ok to get straight to the point, I have never had people taking pictures of my car as I was driving. I had pictures taken of my car twice yesterday which really freaked me out at first. Anyone else have this...uh, problem I guess you could call it? And I really cant believe how many heads this car turns, I didnt believe it reading the forums until I actually got the car, I feel so undeserving of the car hahaha.

(This is in Northern VA btw, quite a lot of BMWs, Benzs, and so forth around here.)

Get use to it . . . you'll see people strain their necks staring at your Z. Most are mesmerized trying to figure what kind of car it is.

Interesting...I live in NoVA as well. I work in sterling and see F-cars and lambos routinely. The only cars I've ever taken photos of on the road are Ferraris.

compliments come with the territory. However, for every compliment there is some jealous punk who will try to talk shit about it.

i often get the compliments from ppl at gas stations, drive thrus, or large parking lots. And ive been a 'victim' of the ppl taking pictures while driving, kids jumping up and down(especially school buses), and ppl breaking their necks to get a look. i love it all.

Last year shortly after I bought my redline, driving South on the 101 freeway at 65'ish mph, the chick in the passanger seat of the car next to me held a camera out her window and took a pic.

That was weird.
