Person looks into the car "Where is your back seat?"
Me: "Not quite sure. I guess Nissan forgot to install it "

Kids: "you got nitro in that car?"

They are kids but still... Even when I had my DSM I was asked that.

Default Are you driving that in the winter?

I was asked this yesterday by a co-worker.

I said no and completely ignored him after that.

How stupid can someone be to ask that.

The stupidity of that question is basically based on whether it snows or not in your area. If it normally snows very thick like Chicago, then obviously I would not be driving my Z during the winter. I would be driving my AWD Audi or any 4wd truck. However somewhere like Arizona, on the other hand, does not get any snow...in that case, he would be a dumba$$.

If you live in a snowy area, and you dont have any other car at hand, then you're just SOL. (;

I can see how someone could think like F2CMaDMaXX. Not sure how much snow you get there in Oregon but I live in Syracuse, NY so snow is a ritual when it comes to winter. We're constantly getting pounded with lake effect snow from the lakes. Last winter we had 179". Our average accumulation is 120". We were on pace to break our '92-'93 record of 192" and possibly Buffalo's record of 199" but winter finally gave way towards the end.

The Z will be put to sleep next week and the Murano will come out to play.

BS. Most 3G guys love the Z and several ended up selling their Eclipse to buy one. Myself included. Club3G shows a lot of love for the Z.

"Why didn't you buy the 350z-S? Damn you missed out!"

"Have you ever gotten this thing in 6th gear!?, must have to be going so fast to do that!!"

That is actually pretty hillarious. I was asked about a month ago by my cousin if i was running a super charger or turbo set up on my car. It sounds like a Turbo kicking in once i hit 4k rpm.

I blame that on The fast and the furious. I liked Fast Five even though that cable would've snapped on the vault jack scene once it collided with a 4k lb+ truck. It was a fun action movie. Plus that chick that the asian dude was interested in was banging.

It was only a matter of time...

A co-worker of mine finally asked if I got the TT'd version. He seemed dumbfounded with disbelief when I told him they never made a TT'd version.

Not really a question, but while putting gas in it the other day (had it for a few day test drive, havent actually taken ownership yet). An older guy at the pump beside me starting telling him story of how he loves British sports cars and his brother in law has one just like mine. I just smiled, nodded and went along with it.

Home depot guy: 300hp is a lot for a 1500lb car isn't it?
Me: I drive a 350Z...
Home depot guy: Yeah I know, my cousin has one. Those things are super light.
Me: (Walks away)
