Owning a Z didn't turn me into a douchebag...quite the opposite, it has turned a few people around me into douchebags! I get cut off almost every time I take the Z on the road by people in econoboxes driving like they're trying to impress me or something.

I've narrowed it down to the fact that I'm 28 (turning 29 in a couple weeks) but I've been told that I don't look a day over 18. So young-looking guy + sporty car = many people get a preconception that I'm a spoiled brat whose parents bought him the Z. It got to the point where I got a little self-conscious driving it around and didn't enjoy it nearly as much.

Owning a Z didn't make me a douche. I was a douche before I bought one.

I don't think owning a Z turns you into a douche. I haven't been waved at or acknowledged by another Z owner yet, but I live in Miami so a large perctange of drivers down here are douches that don't drive too well and hate anyone that drives a manual transmission car.

well, im back and forth from chicago to springfield...in chicago the culture is cool cool...in springfield all i see is older guys driving the z..thats all, and there is no tuner culture in springfield unless you want to count F&F hondas and what not.there is one car i wave it and its a neon..not an srt4, i only wave because its respectful to what hes done to his car, nothing gaudy its pretty fast to..

dude cuz in NY u got tons of europians and back there, ppl know what flashing is, everyone does since they're liek 4 years old. Here you either get 1. ppl see if and give u the confused look, 2. ppl dont even notice it. 3. they see and wave/flash back or something.

when i see another z, i look right away to see who's the driver, and what they've done to the car. As long as its a nice clean ride- i always give props. There is one that drives around with primed RICE, horrible fit bumpers, probably on stock cut springs to lower it, and he always tries to race. I don't even look that noobs way.

Same Here. 4yrs younger tho . Im totally not a douche either. I've been a victim of douchiness by a Z once. After a few cars refused to let this guy driving a Z out of teh corner. I was like "oh a fellow Z'er" SO I let him out and then He does nothing, No hornblow, now wave no nothing. I was like "DOUCHE BAG"

you were a victim of Z douchiness? hahaha I guess now not waving/flashing another Z member is a hardcore felony oi oi.
Mods plz investigate, find the douches, and take appropriate actions.
