I was stopped at a set of lights the other day, minding my own business and a mid sized Red car turned into the oncoming lane in front of me... as it drove past i noticed that the rear window was down with some hobo hanging out the side of it... as the not overly exceptional mid sized red car of some discription passed me I heard the Hobo hanging out the side remark "S*#T Car Mate"..... a little startled as i was previously in my own world mildly relaxed partly due to the vibration of my quad exhaust resonating with the relaxing purr of my 230hp V6 and partly due to the comfort experienced by sitting in the ergonomically designed cockpit of my Z, I felt a little disheartened by the remark... Immediately I regretted ever buying my Z. "Who Needs It" I thought to myself.. "I get no Respect in my Z." as i drove down the road i pondered more about how much of a fool i was to ever expect anyone to take me seriously buying such a car... It is sheer stupidity that i did not consider how awesome it must be to not even drive a car, the Power one must feel riding in the back seat of his mates fully loaded 5 seater, a red so striking that it is barely recognisable from any other random mid sized red car that commutes up and down these streets on a daily basis... a back seat that must surpass even the lambourghini or ferrari themselves for ride comfort, and ergonomic support for those long daily commutes... I have come to my senses Forum.. I hearby put up for sale my 300zx, I will accept any reasonable offers over 7 grand, or will happily swap for a back seat out of any suitable mid sized family sedan (holden, ford, mitsubishi etc) so long as it is in reasonable condition and in good repair..... the rest of the car does not have to be included.... I cant wait to be seen cruising into town on my new rear seat (will post pics!!!)
Haha gold. Cheers mate ;P :rofl: Some dick head in the back seat of a chick's purple hyundai or holden hatch back of some sort once commented to me at the bottle shop "nice car is it your girlfriends?" The balls on these people. Wish I were in the back seat of another person's car. Must be so awesome to be able to comment on the cars other people own without the repercussions of them informing you of how horrible theirs is.
Yeah get lots of poofs yelling crap out like that......they tend to shut up when they end up 5 cars back on green
IMO the best part is when they pull up next to you and their gf's seem to suddenly lose interest in them and stare over
You know that toyota camry parked next to me at the last meet point before the pub? The bunch of 17-18 year old bogans? They were saying all sorts of utter bullshit. The girl says to one of the guys (wearing a HSV towel) "your car is like.. the daddy of these hey?!". To which he says "Yeah hahah". Later on she goes "so what does my car [camry] have that those cars don't then?" To which the guy responds "six cylinders hahahah" ****ing retard.
I've never expected or need any respect from other's,( way ahead off any AUS developed car for it's time by 10 years) Only those who car's cann't live up to ours seem to comment, ross
Never a truer word spoken. I've received crap about my car before, usually from people that know me; I can't hear anyone outside of the car. To put a spin on this... I get good remarks here and there about the car, but what I secretly love is the look on a kids face. Any time someone under 15 sees or hears my car drive past, they are glued to it... and it makes me smile. I remember a little girl ask her mummy, while walking past.. "Is that a race car??". Once upon a time, that was me and the fastest slot car I had was a 300zx.
i am sorry but i handle things a bit differently. i was the non drinking driver on a boys night out 20 something years ago. it was a 2 door coupe with mostly normal people inside except the smallest and dumbest of the lot.The loud mouth.He abused a car load of bogans from the back seat going up the freeway which made him really funny until we found they were going to the same area we were.they found parking before we did and saw them walking down the road.They saw our car while we were at the stop sign and started to walk towards us.the guy in the back seat wanted me to run the stop sign but that wasn't going to happen.Now any smart person would have wound his pissy quarter window up but not this guy.I waited at the stop sign as these guys walked up to the car and punched him in the head.Then i moved off.dickheads get whats coming to them sooner or later.
Have found the opposite myself. On one occasion, in my TT, while at a bottle shop, a passenger from one of the above mentioned moderately sized inconspicuous family sedans actually asked what direction I was heading in. Turned out it was the same as him, and he eagerly requested if he could ride passenger for the trip..... forfeitting his delux rear seating position. Suffice to say, by the end of the trip, he was even more keen on them Usually 5% window tint or stereo volume control is ample deterrant from the educated and accurate advice of others who wish to comment on my apparent poor choice on questionable vehicle selection, or invitation to race at every single red light. That, or carry some listerine on your glovebox, and have a quick rinse at the traffic lights. Comments soon cease when you wind the window down foaming at the mouth
So very true. Certainly get a lot of positive comments about the zed(s) too, but jealousy seems to drive commonwhore bogan tards to be dicks.
Cant say I've ever had any slag off comments bout the Z, except from the GF saying it was a barbie car coz it has targa's... It is definitely a jealousy thing tho. Some smelly bogan will slag of Jap cars but when you ask what makes their car better, they simply reply with "It's a ford" or "It's a holden"... Thats all they got? Fair enough if it was faster, had better looks, handled better etc etc but none of those are traits of Ford nor Holden
The worst I've had was when driving around Wilsons Prom (national park) with my gf, had previously driven to the sumit, in other direction had some 80s commodore pass us, flying aroud the corners the other way. Though nothing of the dickheads then went back to the visitors centre for icecream, on driving out of the camping grounds at 20km/hr they hoon around the corner again, see me then swerve into my lane, I slam on the brakes and come to a complete stop as they pull out of my lane just before passing, all with their fingers up. Such wonderful people out there
I also deal with that kind of stuff alot although i am surprised at how many times i have been told " nice car mate" or people just wanting to just ask questions about it. The bogans in their aussie family cars that think they are super cars cause it carrys all my "fully sick friends around yo" they most/all have no idea how to drive or wat it feels like to drive a car that god forbid wasn't built in a Australia, i really have no time for these people and thus couldn't care less about what they think about my "POS" car, in saying that yes i hear them yelling uneducated abuse and yes i see them laughing but at the next set of lights/corners THEY see me heading off in to the distance a hell of alot faster then them.... Cheers Longy
the feeling When they slag the zed off and you plant the foot in second and she roars like a lion. Gotta love that :zlove:. Or in most cases just blow em a kiss and think yeah you'll probrably end up just another statistic
haha got that before as im filling up at a petrol station some guy stops in fount of me on his way out and says nice color shame about the car thou he was driving a shit box 1980s holden rodeo with surface rust bleeding throw his white paint with black body parts and he had an ice face to the junkie lol you just gotta laugh that off man ppl like that aren't worth it, did think of spraying him with some bp optimax. that back seat driver probably can't even afford to buy a car the loser
