A co-worker of mine also thought they were 1500lbs.

I'm sure he just heard the kg weight for a 350z before and automatically assumed that it was pounds. He probably doesnt realize that 1,500lbs is the approximate weight of a mini cooper. Knock some sense into him if you ever see him again

they are some of the tightest (worse) smog laws in the country. the traffic/moving/ etc violations are horrible too...

got a ticket for going 85 in a 75 and it was 357$ +10$ for traffic school.

i got a ticket in kansas for going 91 in a 70 and it was a 150$ ticket +15$ for traffic school...

I never really had any stupid question, but I have been asked twice if it was a Porsche. I actually just get compliments and gawkers. I like that considering it is a stock 03!

second best is when people see my "demon eye's" on and ask me... "how do you see the road at night?"

Haha reading some of these just reminds me of the few I've gotten in the short amount of time owning it.
1) is that a corvette?
2) is it a Porsche?
3) I thought they stopped making the datsun Z?

The best bit is when they argue the point that it only seats two people when you're standing right beside the car.

the cops can confiscate and impound your car just for having an aftermarket turbo. then they start drilling you with questions like "how did you get it to pass smog" etc etc that screw you over.
