not a dumb question. But a girl at maccas says..

her - "hey there. your always here when im working! haha"

me - "im stalking you"

her - " haha you shouldn't be telling me that!"

me - *smirks*

her - "i remember you and your car. nice car"

me - "thanks. i love it. next time make sure to give me free food aight?" *friendly smile*

her - *laughs* "ok no worries"

add to that the fact that 350z can look like porsches, plus i have a YELLOW 350z. REALLY stands out.

man this is why 350z owners are known to be stuck up and up their A**.

Just answer the 'dumb' questions when people ask them man. No need to show superiority. Ofcourse you'd know your 350z better inside out than someone else who isn't that into cars. Take it as a compliment that they started a conversation with you. They like your car.

Just like I bet they know more about their profession more than you. But its not a excuse to act all superior.

So keep the dumb questions coming, but be nice to people man. Dont just get all stuck up with a 'smart *** comment and walk off'. Thats not cool (but seems like you are trying to be).

Get your heads out of your A**. haha

so you are saying that 350z owners are stuck up? maybe we just get tired of answering the same question all the time. 350z's have been around for 10 years already and after all this time we still get the same questions, where is the third seat? did it came from factory turboed? how much hp im going to gain with bolt ons? etc etc etc . I really dont mind helping someone out, but i do get tired of answering the same questions when the resources are online.

I think you're missing the point, you have a rare care, doesn't matter how long it's been out, people ask questions because they're interested, if you don't like that, fair enough, it's still not an excuse to be a dick.

He's referencing us 350 owners generally, unfortunately we are renown for being dicks to people who know nothing about 350's

The 350 is still considered 'rare'?

Went to Auto Zone to get a code pulled. Guy hooks it up then asks if it was a Sentra when entering the info into the scanner.

Yeah, pretty much this.

There really aren't that many 350's around, and we see them more often as due to owning them, so yes, rare.

Ok that's a kinda dumb, ignoring the fact they work at autozone and perhaps should have known better, but the sentra is *really* different.

A guy at a gas station on my trip to Miami didn't know what a GT-R is. I kept telling him my car was a GT-R and he insisted I was lying and that it was a highly modded 350Z.

(my car is a GT-R)

i think the only rarity of the car is finding an owner that doesnt mind having one seat.. the practicality of the car makes it more rare..
