Default It Never Ceases To Amaze Me

It never ceases to amaze me at how much the 350Z is still a head turner after all these years. I was just at Arby's and this dude in the back came up to the drive thru window and was like "350Z huh."
Me- Yes
Him- It's really nice, I checked out a 2001 for $17,000
Me- There is no 2001, 2003 is the first and $17,000 would be too much for that.
Him- Really?
Me-Yes, what was the mileage?
Him- Didn't say, how's the gas mileage
Me- For a sports car its great
Him- I just love these things, must be a chick magnet huh?
Me- Girls don't really seem to care what car I'm driving, but I guess
Me- Check out the 370Z instead
Him- What?
Me- Yeah there is a 370Z out now, see if you like that better

Anyway everytime I get comments from guys they always ask me if its a chick magnet lol

Thought I'd share how the 350Z despite the 370Z being out is still a real head turner

This warms my heart. I still look at my baby with those googly eyes when I walk up to her, but I'm still jumping on board with the 370 when I can afford it, and when NISMO eddition comes out.

I find that randomly people let me pull out of side streets and going left at lights a lot more often in my Z than when I drive in other cars.

I know the feeling Bro... Good attention is welcomed, but it does get carried away at times... Especially when you got that one guy who just will not shut up when your late for a meeting and or function. Either way, it is a good feeling. By the way, thanks for bringing up Arby's, my stomach is churning and Arby's sounds foking good right about now...
