I figured the Z has been out for a while now and the novelty would have worn off...but people still come up to my Z and ask me questions about it....I love that.

Wait till I get my ings, greddy and data systems stuff on...SHIBBY!!!!

I just get looks. No one comes up to me, heh.

I had a group of kids the other day jump up and down while pointing at my Z and one of them said that one day he's going to get a car like that. haha. I threw him a twenty and said, "Start saving, here's something to get you started. Study hard!" That totally blew him away. haha. I love kids.

wow, $20? save up for mods!

i drove by some kids the other day pulling out of my neighborhood, and they asked me to "peel out". i gave him a quick chirp as i was pulling out. i guess that was my $20.

Get that all the time too. I guess since they only made approx 20,000 a year, they are not all that common to see as much as you see Honda's, Toyota's, etc. everywhere you go.

Our entire family went to Chevy's today for Mothers Day. I found a corner parking spot right across from the front door. Then I ended up sitting in a place at the table where I could see the car.

At least 5 groups of people comming in/out stopped by to look/comment on the Brick. I was sitting to far away to hear comments of course but it was still cool to see the amount of attention the car draws.

I was at a track day event at Pocono Raceway today...had some people come up to me after I parked, looking inside and stuff. One guy asked if the interior was that good looking stock. He thought I dressed it up or soemting...said "nope, looks that good stock"

I was at the track on Friday and out of 350 cars I was the only Z however there was a sweet twin turbo G35. I must of had 12 people come up to me throughout the night either asking me what I was running or raving about how much they love the car and how they almost bought one.

Since I have a roadster, people roll down their windows to comment everytime I drive the car. They'll just ogle the car up and down and ask how I like it and how fast it is. Then they'll always say what an absolutely beautiful car it is. It's a great thing.

The first weekend I had my z last summer I got about 6 comments. I've only had about 6 since then, but I get stares like nobody's business.
