Some middle-aged black dude at a bus stop approached me while my car was stopped at the light, hard top removed.
Him: Daaayum, man, what that cost you? A million? Me: 1.5 mil, actually ![]() Him, laughing: Really? That car's hot. Me: Yeah, I just bought another one for my girlfriend too. Him: You got a bodyguard for her too? Me: LOL! Light turns green.

The time in the 350Z was almost identical. I wasn't even going around anyone. I simply went around a corner (yes, quickly but no drifting or tire smoke or anything) and accelerated to 5 mph over the speed limit: At the next light..... Guy in Ford SUV: *gives me the 'roll down your window' sign* Guy: Hey, nice car! Me: Thanks. Guy: If I ever see you driving like that again, I'm calling the police. Me: *pause.....smile and wave* Have a nice day.

i had passed her a few blocks prior at a quick pace, but she parked up front and I walked a block so people like her don't ding my ish. we arrived at the door at the same time, although she pulled in just as I was stepping out of my car. I should have responded that I drive fast to make up for the time I spend walking in parking lots.

A female co-worker just asked me how I can afford such a car, and even went into the "we have to be making around the same $$". Rather than explain that the car does not cost as much as she has assumed, or explain that if she did not have 2 kids she could afford one too..... I just said I took a 2nd job, at Chip&Dales, she can see me perform Thursdays and Saturdays

I joke around with everyone, so everyone assumes I'm always being funny. So I think I'm safe (gulp!). That's the best part about having a rep as a prankster. No one realizes when you're being serious...

Also I don't know how all of you guys can be so nice to people when they tell you eff off about your driving. I would be so shocked if a stranger said that too me...my immediate reaction would be to tell them to go F themselves. It would never occur to me to laugh. Am I an angry person or something?

Just teasing you. I actually know a few (straight) guys that would pass up this fantasy material because they would worry about swirls in their paint.XTN you should travel with a set of microfibers and car washing supplies in your trunk just for when these occasions come up! ![]()

I do usually keep one clean one with me, just in case I need to spit-shine off some bird poop or something.

Monday I went to the local BMW dealership (Rallye for you people around my area). After parking my car and walking towards the show room I see a guy looking over at me and the car. Conversation goes like this:
Old guy: What kinda car is that? Me: Oh, it's a Lotus. Old guy: What powers that thing? Me: It's actually a Toyota motor. *and I smile* Old guy: No no, what kinda power does that thing have? Me: Ohhh, it's got 190 hp. Old guy: *Looks away and stops talking to me* ![]() ![]() Later on as I'm checking out the new M3, I hear him inside saying: "as long as you got a black on black..."

What? You mean he didn't say "murdered out?" He's so not cool.
