Default Negative experiences with fellow Z owners?

I was just curious to know if any other people have had negative experiences with other people who own Z vehicles?

I have had a couple:

My first one was when I had my Z for a month I took it to a carwash. As im washing I see another guy with a Z almost like mine except he had blacked out tailights and I think plasti dipped rims. So I go over to talk to him and compliment his car and I ask him what hes done to it and stuff. He had an 03 base I believe. Well when I tell him I have an 06 enthusiast he tells me," those ones are ****. Yours looks kinda dumb too. If you're gona buy a Z at least buy a good one". All I had done to mine was the nismo exhaust and spoiler. That's it!

Second time was a guy in a Z33 TT telling me 350's are garbage and I spent myoney on a P.O.S. And to get rid of it and a buy a "real mans car, not some little sissy ****"

The other ones are mostly at a red light and a Z pulls up alongside me, I tell em I like their car and they get mad and spit towards my car and take off when the light changes

Do I just have bad luck or are Z owners in SoCal just dicks?

Mostly positive encounters. There's the occasional douche that creeps slowly by in the next lane and acts like he doesn't notice the loud *** Z in the lane next to him. I always look over to give a thumbs up but they pretend I'm not there. Maybe my car came with the invisibility option from the dealer . No one has ever actually been a ***** as in saying $hit about the Z though.

Negative experiences between fellow Z owners occur here on this very forum daily. Personally, I get cocky newbs who just bought their used Z tail me or do fly bys.

To be honest, I try to ignore Z/G drivers, not because I am being a dick, but to avoid potential douch-ness... the owners are getting younger and feel like they drive Ferrari's... I've never had any bad encounters with owners of these particular vehicles, and I have actually met some pretty cool people...

That and I don't like too much attention...

I have had a lot of negative experiences with fellow z owners based on the way they mod their cars. And I, too, have a lot of Z owners tail me then fly by on the interstate when I'm minding my own business in the middle lane.

Of the 10 or so Zs I see every day, 9 of them look like ****. 1 is a PPW with matte black stripes where the hood indents are and plasti-dipped everything. Another has all the paint pealing off and more scratches than I can count. He had enough money to plasti-dip the wheels and tint the tails but couldn't afford wax I suppose... Ohhh my.

Dont care if you think it's pointless. Just cuz I don't have a Z anymore doesn't mean I still don't like em. And I still get crap from Z/G drivers. They see me and start revving the hell out of their engines and stall 3/10 times

Complete opposite bro, I had a WRX fly by when I was getting out of the Nismo. Just a hater imho. On the other hand, I hang out with a local Subie crew and they are probably one of the most down to earth group. Either way, you could be in a Subie and some kid might say the same thing when you had the Z.
