I don't care how much of a "hater" someone is, there is absolutely no excuse/reason for someone to deface/damage/destroy someone else's property!

I think the main reason for people hating on our cars is ignorance. They have no idea that it's faster than a Boxster, and every magazine article ever written about the S praises it. I agree that 350Z owners mess with me the most. Also, BMW drivers seem to mess with me a lot. However, I work at an Auto Parts store, and when customers find out it's my car, I get nothing but compliments. The negativity is from people who drive hoopties and know nothing about cars.

ive only heard the good about my car sofar... Although some of my "freidnd's friends" have told me of how if they cant afford that kind of car then why should i? its simple... I have the money (well my parents... correction my dad has the money) to get it. When you have money, you dont buy the nessesities but rather the wants a long with it. There have been countless people who bring up the topic of my family being wealthy and having tons of stuff i dont NEED but want. Bottom line... If we have the money, then we can get it. too bad soo sad.

"Bud" is illegal but it is a good smoke now and then. Canadians are spoiled when the can toss their "bud" presumably because it's starting to burn their fingers.

350Z owners are S2K wannabee's. It was always on their mind (and always will be) before the Z purchase.
Practicality and common sense won out over impracticality and the pleasure of being different.

just the other day a bunch of punks in a GRAND AM were driving next to me putting their hazards on making fun, we stopped at a set of lights and the driver yells "Nice car, better watch out a gust of wind can flip you right over, I'll blow your doors off!", my reply was "you better put mommy's car back before you wreck it" lol

I only had my S for 2 weeks, my 2g eclipse never had as much negative attention even with a fart can.

Reminds me of one day I was coming back from my office, in a suit and everything. As I was at the red light these Kids pull up in Gran Am also, kid in the back seat starts telling me that S2000 is a piece of shit and I am a fag for having it. I ask him if talking shit to a stranger made him a tough guy, he replied YES, I am a tough guy and flipped me off. I told him to pull over and as the light turned green they sped off. They must of been between 15 to 18yrs old. I am shocked by peoples actions. Now this is in Arizona, in Boston very rarely you get people like that.

I look at things this way, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and i cannot do much of anything to change that, if somone likes it, then they like it, if they hate it then they hate it.
