EXACTLY! Ever since the used Z value went below $20,000 all the teens can afford them Now they drive up the insurance rates for everyone else.

From an agent and manager, I couldn't agree with you more.

Grasshopper. The aggressive, reckless, and accelerated driving of the few, can reflect poorly on the many. I, for one do not wonder why the Police take a second look at Z's on the streets.

Yes. How dare other people use YOUR highway.

The nerve of people trying to drive safely.

"I try to be ultra-courteous while driving the Z. That way people can't say, there goes another a$$hat in a Z thinking he has to show up every soccer mom and old guy in a Crown Vic."..................Right approach.

To the OP: Get a grip.

I'm going to give you a little priority list to abide by when driving.
1) Protect yourself
2) Protect others
3) Protect your property
4) Protect others property
5) Arrive in a timely fashion

Seriously, you have NO mathematics skills at all. I don't feel like explaining that comment right now, but you just seriously blow at math.

If anything, owning the Z has made me a better driver. I hardly ever drag race, and I don't cut people off anymore. Maybe it's because I appreciate my Z alot more than I did my Tiburon.

If anything its the opposite. I drive faster in my Z than in my beater but it seems like I am still going slow. Every SUV and Pickem up truck driven by middle aged chicks or rednecks are going 90 plus in the fast lane. I know I can blow em away but whats the point. I don't drive at sustained highspeeds like these idiots but do enjoy consevative dominance now and then, too paranoid I guess.

So how much did you buy your 03 Z for? like 18k if that? What justifies a nicer car exactly? Some people base it on price. I'm not knockin on your 03. I have an 03 myself. I just think you need to calm down and stop being a jerkoff toolbag by riding peoples asses. You're not impressing anyone and your certainly not making yourself cool by doing that.

Dear Bep134, firstly go to Google put in as your search phrase "350z accident". As you will note there are a substantial number of associated pages. Now if we do the same thing in a month's/years time we would prefer you are not listed there.

Remember it could be someone you know in a different car you've just dangerously tailgated. Please take care out there, think about your actions, action has reaction, could you live with yourself if your driving seriously injured or killed someone. Can you stop in time, what would happen if you write your Z off, or seriously hurt yourself. Go down to the local Accident and Emergency on a Friday and Saturday night.

One of the clubs I'm in, we went along to train drivers with under 4 years driving experience, skid training, accident avoidance, braking, handling, use of line of sight + many more of course. Think about the situation you are putting yourself into, can you stop in time, 99% chance probably not. Every single student for the day we instructed was absolutely shocked at what and how quickly things can happen & thinking they can handle things, then taking out all the cones, those could have been cars. Take your 350 to the track listen and learn to the knowledge experienced drivers can impart to you.

Life is not a cartoon or PS2, please leave the Jekyl and Hyde at home.

Be safe out there and don't be a temporary American & relax.

ps. All that said, enjoy your 350 & take up singing, put those lungs to postive use, you could be the next 50 cent ya know.

You know what I hate? Bottle-neck traffic going 5-10 below the speed limit.
