I feel sorry for the guys who own BMWs. I only know them by 3series or 5series or 6 or 7 or 8 series! As far as the different #s, I am always lost. 330, 325, 330i, 330ic etc. I mess those up all of the time. But they always stand to correct me on which one it is. It doesn't bother me though. I Know what I drive. Z!

The guy that called it a datsun must have been an older gentleman. They get a free pass for that! That's just oooold School!

I guess it's like us calling camaros IROC... lol. I have never had anybody calling mine a 300zx. Like most said, it wouldn't bother me since they at least know part of the history.

Never had it happen to me but I guess it wouldn't bug me too much. I don't think they look anything a like but neither did my old S2000 and the Miata. At least I won't get confused with a Miata anymore!

Nope its just carrying on the proud tradition. The 300ZX has a legacy that the 350Z proudly carries on. I'm no more hurt when they say man thats a nice new Porsche they just don't know. Ignorance is blessed.

300zx or 350Z same same, bad a$$ sports car to me.

I actually like people calling my car a Datsun. Don't know why, maybe it's just the part of me that wished our cars resembled anything from their older counterparts.

Default A car hop is

What is a Sonic car hop girl?

Sonic is a drive in and in Texas is some what popular during the summer due to the massive variety of custom drinks you can get. They have many locations in other states as well. It's your typical drive-up fast food where usually girls and guys in their teens work and bring the food to your car. Some locations have them on roller skates. The food itself is pretty good for fast food. Items include Burgers, Chili Dogs, Malts, Shakes etc.

It's happened a few times to me. I appreciate the compliment and their questions about it, so I don't bother correcting them.
