Default I saw 5 Z's within 15 minutes today

Went to lunch and within 15 minutes I saw 5 Z's. 2 were SS, one was DB, one RL, and a SB.

The worst part is the DB was in the Jack in the Box drive thru just 2 cars behind me!

It's sick.... I knew it would happen.

Ahhhhh.... the honeymoon is over

Time for a Nismo kit and some serious mods...

Distinguish yourself, my man!

I live in Richmond, VA and I've had my Z for about two months now. In that time, I've seen a TOTAL of 5 Z's. I guess it depends where you live!

Ya it REALLY depends on where you live. Out here in BF-Egypt (Nebraska) I've had 4 sightings in 2 months. And one of those was the same car on the same day twice. So really, that's only three I've seen in 2 months. I'm guessing that's because here it's mostly trucks AND a car like that can ONLY be a summer car. Winter here would rip it up...

I've had mine for nearly 5 months, and have seen a total of 5 the entire time. I also drive a 100 miles round trip to and from work, so the honeymoon isn't over for all of us!

I have a SS, and a guy that works at the building next to me bought a SS too. Then yesterday a co-worker tells me he saw a 3rd SS in the praking lot with paper tags!!! I was like WTF people!!! Be a little different!!! Well I guess it is one the favorite colors, but I'm gonna have to get some aftermarket wheels or something.

Hey, DJ... you wouldn't have this problem if you bought a Brickyard! I bought my Z last October and just this past weekend saw the first other Brickyard I have seen on the road (instead of a dealer lot)

Zracer03... where do you work in Cleveland. I had to be there on business several times earlier this year... 5 separate weeks from Feb to Apr... and saw a Z each time... maybe I saw the same five you did, but in half the time!

jazzfest...

I see more G35 Coupes in my area than 350Zs... maybe not the norm, but I see a G-Coupe at least one every other day. I'm lucky if I see a 350Z (other than mine and the guy that lives in my neighborhood) once a week.

"M" is for modding! Even though I see on average @ 2 a day, my car is "CLEARLY" distinguishable to the point where I'm like totally okay whenever I see other 350's. They know what time it is...

I usually see 2-3 Z's per week. The most common ones I've seen around my area and in DC are CS, SS, and now starting to see several PPW! But man I was about to make a post just like this a few weeks ago, there was a day when I was driving around Annandale, VA just to go pick up a friend and I literally saw almost every color Z in ONE DRIVING PERIOD! IM not joking, i saw every color except LS! Some of them were out driving, then some were just parked on the street, but I still saw them nonetheless! But other than that I have only seen one other DB in my area in the past month, which is good for now

i've seen maybe a few more Zs than g35c. but way more g35 sedans than either. i think i've seen every color of z (on the road) except brickyard or red.
