I agree was expecting it to become a steamy topic all of a sudden.

I've had a similar occurance with one of my coworkers. She went absolutely nuts...

then yesterday I'm at a light and this guy yell out of his truck "what the base HP?" I stated 287, and he said "Man, that things got great tone, nice car"

Of course today sucked as a cop pulled me over doing 90 in a 65..traffic school here i come. Boy would the wife kill me if she knew. the crazy part was I honestly had no idea I was doing 90. when he pulle me over all he said was " I can't believe that you went that through traffic" I was thinking the whole time..."how fast was I going?" but I figured if I said anything that I would just bury myself.

 

i get comments all the time. on easter i was picking up some food from my country club and two 50 something oler people (man&woman) asked what kind of car that was because its beautiful. They rolled up in a SL500.

 

I've only had my car for 4 months but I get positive comments all the time.. only from females though.. males never say anything except stare or flip me off... Oh but one time a mechanic from my Nissan dealership told me I had the coolest Z he had ever seen.. That was a little surprising because they must see Z's all day...

There was this one time, I parked very near a new 5 series bimmer.. the owner was a little bit weird and he must have just picked it up because he opened all the doors and stuff and was intensely admiring his car (walking all around it, staring at it, blah blah).. 2 females walked up and asked me what kind of car I had.. I think he was a little bit jealous or pissed that they didn't notice his ride..

strokes my ego and makes me happy I guess

Its human nature to like when people "praise" your car. Whether people admit it or not, they like to have something of theirs admired or praised, or even see someone take an interest in it. I love when someone says how nice my car is, makes me feel good

 

I was in the parking lot of a grocery store packing up my groceries to go home. I noticed an older gentleman (maybe late 50's early 60's) who drove completely around the parking lot and doubled back to where I was parked (on the side of the bldg where no one parks). He pulled up and asked me how I liked the Z. I of course said I love it, I'll open her up if ya want to take a good look. He gets out, and proceeds to show me a scrap book that he keeps in his car. The scrapbook is of him and his brand new 240Z from the 70's. We chatted for a bit. His last comment was "now that the kid is out of college I think it's time to get myself back in a Z!" Very cool!

 

I just got my Z yesterday..... so I don't have any good ones to tell yet.... but today when I was leaving work, practically everyone was standing outside for some reason??? One lady of a co-worker approached me and asked "What kind of fancy pants car is that anyway? It looks like a james bond car." I thought that was funny.... I've had nothing but congrats and compliments.

 

Thats funny, when my Aunt first saw my Z, she had the exact same response -- "Looks like a James Bond car"

 

I've received plenty of compliments since getting the roadster last August, Bus drivers yelling out the bus door," Will that beat a porsche?", people at the gas station swarming around looking in side (since the top is down), older former Z owners, etc.
The best one was early one morning going to work, top down,
a black teenager is crossing the street (Mac Arthur Blvd in Oakland) and says " I really like your car man", pauses as he crosses in front, I nod acknowledgement, then he says "Yeah, my Grandmother has one just like it." .

LMAO

 

AHAHAHAH holy crap. that's funny.. ah well for me, i dont even have a Z yet... man can't wait til summer though bub.

 

I have no problem if my baby gets love from the ladies.

 

A good friend of mine loves MB's, as does her husband. But she saw a Super Black Roadster with Charcoal seats recently, and she had to call me and say, "Dayam, it is gorgeous!" Her hubby used to drive a 280Z.

 

Yes, yes, and yes!!! I get the same thing! Everything that was mentioned here and more.

Check this out.

I buy this thing and have it for 1 hour before I have to put it in my garage for 8 days while I'm out of town!!!!!! But i tell ya.. that first drive.... OMJ! man, I have only seen people look at me that way a couple of times, one on my brothers GXR, and the other involved things that I ain't mentioning here.

I got back at midnight and then drove it around all night!!!

I get ladies old and young telling me how its beautiful and hot and sexy and wow they wish they could afford something like it and la la la, and the guys are just the same man!

Another gas station... This guy runs inside while I'm paying, all out of breath lookin like Chris Farly, all sweaty and jumpin around talkin about OMG DUDE, how he wants to lick the hood and whoa I've never seen anyting like it, it looks like a spaceship! HAHAHA WTF!? Wow.

But the best one.. This is the moment I KNEW that I had made the right decision on the purchase of this car.

The day I was out taking the first pics at alki beach, well, what do ya know.. -Along with everyone else, a guy and his gal in a Lamborghini rolls by breaking their necks off lookin at me too! -He has that little window that's like 4 inches tall rolled down and he gives me a thumbs up and yells NICE CAR!!



Now. Let me tell ya.. That feels good

Unfortunately, I wasn't quick enough with the camera to catch him in the instance of appoving my ride, as I was too caught up in the approval process of his! lol -But I did catch a shot shortly after he passed by...

 

Funny story:

Today I was leaving my campus parking lot and it has a very steep driveway. I usually take it average speed but from a slight angle and I clear it.

Well I was about to descend when I see a bunch of girls on the parking lot shuttle eyeing the car. Obviously, they weren't eyeing me. But then they start to wave like crazy!

I look even harder to see if I recognize them but I don't. While all this is going on I forget to angle my car. Sure enough the Veilside lip went ***SCRAPE***! I was the only one to hear it because everyone else was on the shuttle and I had my windows down.

So instead of getting a wave back, the girls see me mouth the word "F*ck!"


Oh man, the look on their faces = priceless!
I bet they think i'm an @sshole now!

 

I saw a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII with brembo brakes, TRW rims, racing seats, and a hood scoop at Jillian's(where all the rich people hang out). I was tempted to put a note on his windshield saying ,"Cool Car!"

 

Now this is funny too, one day I was at the gas station pumping gas and a white teenager walk up picking his nose and asked me what kind of car was it, I said a 350Z. He then stated I never seen anything like before, I said, I know.

CS 03 Touring 6MT W/NAV

 

Guy in the Wendy's drive through told me that I had made the right decision inshosing my car. I asked him why, he said "cause your as hot as your car" Made me smile.
Love it when guys tell they like my car. Hate it when they imply I have no idea what my car can do. AS IF!

 

I don't know about that 'guys are just cocky' part... I stopped to fuel up and this truck comes up along side and this dude jumps out and comes around to me while I'm standing with the pump in my hand.

"That is some awesome car, guy..." he says. "When I saw ya pull in to this place, I turned around and followed you in..."

I don't know --- kinda freaked me out!

 

Had the cutie at the donut shop drive through say to me today, "Wow, thats a really nice car, and I never say anything to guys about their cars."

 

hahah oops

I have a story to share too. When I had the car for just about a week and a half or two, I decided to take a quick drive to Chicago to show it off to my friends and family down there. While I'm driving on the freeway, a car pulls up to my left and I look over. It's a lil kid with the biggest smile on his face, waving at me. I thought that was really cool. Then, it happened two more times on the same trip... lil kids are cool. Then maybe 2 miles before my exit, this smokin hot blonde in a Ferrari pulls up to me and gives me the eye and waves. Dammit I wished I woulda followed her, but I didn't (still regret it to this day ) and exited off. I finally reach my aunt's house and a bunch of my friends and family were grilling outside, but didn't see me. So I park on the street and start revving my engine... dammit I wish I had a camera to catch everyone's facial expression at that time. I get out and everybody runs towards me and congratulates me for purchasing what they thought was a brand new Porsche

This all happened on my first road trip in my Z. At the end of the day, I thought to myself "I can really get used to this..."

 

Encounters with little kids are the best! They're never reserved about how they feel so some of them have a shameless display of admiration when they see it.
Everytime I get a feeling i'm being watched on the freeway, it's usually some kid peering out the window of his folk's minivan or SUV.
I rolled into a gas station once and this little kid was like "WHOAAH DAD look!! What is IT?!?"
"It's a Z son...a 350z"
"HEEEy Mister is that 53 Z FAST?!?"
"Um...heheh it only does 53 mph...speeding is bad?"
Dad: "Hah Thanks...nice car have a good afternoon"

As I'm capping up I can here the kid go off about how he's going to grow up one day and get a 53 Z!!
