not really a dumb question but it is rather funny how stupid people can be

Cool story, i did a U turn in a no left turn zone, everyone does it no one ever gets caught, but me driving a brickyard modded out 350z, got pulled over by police, he gave me a 60$ ticket which is whatever lol, but then i looked at the ticket and it said " red nissan altima" and i was like.....LOLWUT? i sent the ticket in to fight it, never got anything back in the mail and its been over 2 years since that happened sooo im guessing they don't care.

a lot of these are not dumb questions. we clearly live and breathe 350z. most other people don't. so making fun of someone for not knowing what the factory exhaust sounds like or what the factory nismo lip looks like only makes you look dumb.

How much boost you running?

Really, not how much power, any more intangible facts you'd like to know.

I make more power right now at 16psi than 19psi, just depends on what gas, the map, etc.

My favorite comment thus far was a guy screaming at me at the gas station. He came over to call me an idiot for putting the wrong kind of gas in my car. It was E85, his explanation was that only certain hybrids can run that.....

I calmly responded, I'm fairly certain I can handle the type of gasoline that it needs.

His smart *** remark was it won't make it out of the parking lot with that fuel...

Immaturity got the best of me as I let the 2 step speak for me and spit a fire ball at him. Then drove away normally.

Guy: how you like that car?
Me: I love it
Guy: I bet, I have a regular 350z
Me: yeah?
Guy: yours is cooler though, 330 horses right?
Me: Nissan says 306
Guy: nah man, the regular z is 306, yours is 330
Me: no I'm pretty sure it's 306
Guy: you need to go look that up again man, I'm telling you
Me: it's 306
Guy: mine is the JDM one, so I guess it's imported or something and has a little more horsepower
Me: awesome that's cool
Guy: yeah, have you seen the one with the hoodscoop that you can get with 800hp?
Me: I have not
Guy: ah, well I better get going, sweet car man
Me: thanks bro

Had th same thing happend to me...well almost lol

Had a guy give me a speech that my car was to old and was not programmed for this fuel... I tried to tell him that u can run it in any gasoline engine if u get the supporting parts and tune. He acted like there was no such thing...so i put $30 in , started it and let him(listen to it)... Then he asked what this thing was(turbo)... I told him a turbo and he said I'm going to blow my car up...I said probably....
