putting some thought into it. Perhaps only the douche bags had the money at the time to buy a Z.

I think people are douche bags regardless of the cars they drive. Just so happens they all liked the Z.

Douche bags think a like.

A new genesis coupe just tried to come rolling up hard to cut me off. I sped up and he tried to downshift and jump. I didn't even drop from 6th and he didn't get to pass me. He was a douche but I was a bigger douche.

me too...me too... I only get on it when somebody tries to show off and do the same. We like cruising in the Z, but put a little extra in the hp for just those type of situations...

I don't weave in and out, cutting people off. And it pisses me off when people do it. This guy was trying hard to just write me off just to prove nothing more than the fact that he could drop a gear or 2 and punch it. Little did he know, I check my mirrors a lot and I saw his front end jump and start coming up. I sped up. He hesitated and I heard a downshift. Nope. I just gave it near WOT in 6th and closed the gap. I was already doing 80 in a 70. This guy just wanted to give a ricer flyby.

Only time I cut people off is if everyone wants to go like 30 in a 45 (with no heavy traffic) and then when you try to pass, they speed up and slow down. If you aren't going to do atleast the speed limit, LET PEOPLE PASS. That's my pet peeve. I can be 1 of 3 cars on the road and 2 idiots always seem to block me and go WAY under.

Point is: douche bags are everywhere, driving everything. You have to be 1 sometimes to make it through the day. Screw being a pushover!

I always wave at a z if I see one....If it is bone stock, a nismo, or a twin turbo charged z I show respect! I have never been "douched" by any z owners that I have seen. Though not saying that about other cars....i swear mustang gt guys and diesel trucks always blow me off and try to race me lol

to think that we are all answering to a question from someone to whom we have not asked this question.

OP do you think that you have become a douche now owning a Z?

A back-up cam is also hooked up to the headunit to monitor small children when I back out at night in a busy shopping mall or something. Yeah...I hate the blindspots in this car.

I don't actively wave or thumbs up most of the time if I just happen to pass one. If we're next to each other on the highway, I'll usually give some kind of acknowledgment.

I'll do that with any car, but I appreciate Z's more. However, Z or not, if your car is rice, I'm probably not going to be jumping up to say hello.

Me and some fellow Z owners were out to a movie 1 night and there was a Z in the lot with racing stripes. We were all taking cell phone pics and talking about the car and the owner was a complete douche. He was extremely cocky and acted pissed that we took pics. The car was stock. PPW w/ silver racing stripes. It looked awful and this guy was acting like he had the best Z in the lot. It amazes me how that plays out. You'll meet guys with amazing Zs and they are nice and approachable. Ricers? Not a chance. They are always cocky.

No thanks. I'm not a fan of the Z-roadster.

And besides, when the top has to come up, it has as much visibility as a camping tent pitched in the rain forest.

No I think I've become more awesomer! And I like to share my awesomness by waving.

If I pass a car, and the person in that car doesnt think to himself, "damn, that dude is awesome." Then I have wasted my money.

HA! No the older I get the less douchey I think I become...


I think everyone is on to something. The more folks that can afford Z's the more the civic culture is going to start moving in, i.e. douche-a-palooza.
