Default co workers freak out because i drive a Z. am just a cashier!!

Okay so I don't know why they raise they eyebrows when that ask is that tour car and I say yes then they freak out. I have worked at this job like a cashier for some months now and I bought my one and only dream car I have always admired before moving to the united states. I love this car I can spent the night in it lol. It's not really a big deal I don't drive a cavalier or a neon and never will. Sometimes you just start from the middle not the bottom of life some people don't understand.

They obviously don't know that a used Z is very attainable

In general you don't want to show up in a car nicer than your bosses. A nice car can really alienate you if your co workers are struggling in a P.O.S. This isn't right but I have found this to be true. I bought a Mazda 5 instead of a Cadillac for this reason. If I showed up in a new Cadillac they would think Im some rich guy who doesn't really need the work. In reality the Caddy was only $9k more than the Mazda but the perception to many is a Caddy costs 50K. One of my co-workers has an 8 year old BMW (sweet car) and everyone calls him a trust fund kid, many don't take him serious. Sad but true. Nice 350ZR BTW, looks exactly like mine.

my boss drives a corolla but I don't give a **** lol. I think if he can get a car that's even better than a Z if he wants. I have no kids or anything so I don't really care.

I was thinking the same thing. Next week OP will be posting about somebody keying his car, probably as a result of them being pissed off at him for taking two spots.

Way bro.

search for douchebag parkers and see the comments people say about keying cars. Even nice ones. Youre better off parking in the rear in one space. Most people are fat and lazy that visit walmart, so they wont want to walk.
