Well, in my area it's not a very popular car so it could just be the overall shape. It's not like a Honda Civic where you see hundreds of them every day.

I was just going to say something along those lines lol... I get asked ALL the time what kind of car it is. Many of which are standing right next to the car when they ask. You would think they would recognize its a Nissan to start off because of the emblems on the front and rear? haha but I guess not.

Then of course I get the usual.. (not necessarily dumb questions, but ones I get asked all the time lol)

Is it fast?
Is it a manual?
Is it front wheel drive?
Do you drive it in the winter?
When are you gonna let me drive it?
Is there a back seat?
Why would you buy a car without a back seat?

Same with my area. I think that's part of the reason people freak out so much over my car. I've seen maybe a handful of Z's around here since I got mine, none of which are an HR . Mustangs and corvettes are about as sporty as it gets around me..

Right? Easy enough to tell her its a Z and be on your way.

Blow her off and next time there will be some special sauce on your burger..

I just said its a 350z. I didnt blow her off. Just posting what I feel was a dumb question is all. Not to mention who the *** has a conversation at a fast food window...holding up the line to talk to a mediocre looking girl?, lol Cmon.. not my style.

People have really got to look at themselves sometimes, no one knows what the **** we drive or about cars, people will ask, Z on the steering wheel for example, means nothing to 99% of people.

One 12-year old kid came up to me and said, "Nice GTR. Is it new?"
