Default I was in MA this weekend and...

I bearly saw 2 Zs! Whats up with that? The Zs I saw were in Boston. I was in the Foxboro area but I had driven a few times between Boston/Foxboro and then into other parts of RI, CT.

Not a single Z encounter from those drives. I saw G35c without much trouble..but they weren't as frequent as I thought. I guess its a good/bad thing the Zs aren't that common around your parts. Just wondering what was up with that...thats all.


And I can't stand how nobody follows the road signs in the city!

haha..sorry, I am not coming off as a hater am I? Just a tourist who is

Well my car's in the body shop, so that's why you didn't see me!

If you were here on the weekend you didn't see anything bad-driver wise. You need some rush-hour experience. That's so much FUN!

There just aren't many Z's up here..

I can go days and weeks without seeing another Z.. plenty of Subies and Evos around tho.. I think because the Z is not really a year round car and winters can be pretty bad up here.. I mean it's not like FL or Cali here where Z's are everywhere like Honda Accords and Camrys

I just sold my Redline to someone in Ludlow Mass 2 weeks ago. Be on the lookout for it, it has a big MRC Motorsports windshield banner on it so you can't miss it, also sports nice black RH R5 pro shoes. Leemik now you have some Redline competition in your area now... LOL

I consider this to be a good thing.

It has been increasing though. I used to see a Z about twice a month. Now I see one about one every week or so.

Z's are even rarer in Central Mass...even when the weather's good, I can usually count the other ones I see around on one hand.

I don't see too many Z's in this area either...and it seems like there's no camaraderie between any of the other Z/G owners i do see.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I used to own a Stealth, and everytime I drove by another Stealth or a 3000gt, i would get a wave or a smile.

Now when i drive by another Z/G owner, i get nothing...not even a nod.

Does this happen to anyone else, and is it just a Northeast thing?

There's actually more Z/G cameraderie around here than you think...you've just gotta know where to find it. A bunch of us are heading up to show in NH this weekend. Click the link for the details (as well as some other good local Z stuff ):

I am from southern CT and there are a good amount of Zs. Some days I see none, other days I see 5.

As for camraderie, I think there is plenty. I started my new job for about 3 days and on the 4th day there was two Gs parked next to me. When I was in Providence I saw two Z/G, and they both waved and honked. Same around here.
