My sedan to scary to other potential racers?

lets just say aside from the low percentage of G35 owners (you and i) no one really buys this car to want to mod it and go fast and race people. this car just doesnt seem like a target, I bet you a coupe will get more taunts than us, simply because people see this car and automatically assume that the driver will be a middle aged business man driving with 2 hands on the 10 and 2 o'clock position with aviator ray bans on looking straight ahead at every stop light. (sounds like my dad btw LOL) now, if they do step up, we pack the heat to smoke them

I SERIOUSLY FEEL YOUR PAIN. I'VE HAD MY SEDAN FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS AND I DIDN'T GET MY FIRST RACE UNTIL THIS SUMMER. AND IT WAS AGAINST MY BOY IN HIS COUPE. (BTW I WON. HOW? I DUNNO) BUT NOOOO ONE FEELS THE WANT TO TEST ME. HELL I WASN'T EVEN GETTIN LOOKS ASIDE FROM PEOPLE CHECKIN ME OUT. LOL THAT AND THE CARRIBEAN BLUE ISN'T A COLOR YOU SEE EVERDAY. BUT ONCE I THREW ON THE EXHAUST AND THE BODY KIT NOW I'VE HAD A LOT MORE LOOKS BUT ONLY ONE MAXIMA WANTED TO PLAY ON 24 AT 11PM BUT ANY FAST DRIVIN HAS JUST BEEN BETWEEN MY FRIENDS. I ACTUALLY WONDERED THAT SAME THING. IS MY CAR THAT INTIMIDATING OR AM I NOT GETTIN ANY RESPECT THAT NOT EVEN THE RICER WILL STEP UP?

Weird, I get people to race me all the time. But I drive alot, I deliver pizzas in my g35 in Northern Sacramento, its a nice area w/ alot of money so there are alot of nice cars out here. Pretty much all I do is deliver pizzas and try to find people that I think will race me. Sometimes you have to bait the person into racing you, its kinda tricky to do but works quite well. Got a good race with a new Acura TL today, and it was a girl driving, beat a rx8 on the freeway with the ac on, lots of ****ty v6 mustangs/camaros/hondas/mazda6's etc... some older bwm m3's, newer bmw 330's some older bmw 5 series, moded nissan truck, 350z(dude apperantly couldnt drive cause I won), a Jaguar dont know what model, pontiac grand prix gtp, 5.0 mustangs, lincoln mark8, acura 3.2s and rsx or whatever, quite a few others... dont remember everything. I have maybe lost 1 or 2 street races, I think to an Ls1 camaro, not sure what else I have lost to, dosnt happen often. Its fun, I feel I do it in a safe manner, I'm a good driver and dont push it to the limit to far I know the area like the back of my hand.

M5 + house... they're doing SOMETHING right. lol
Also, where do you work?
Oh, and lemme clear somethin up... the M5 will probably come in a couple years. He's got 80K more miles to go on his RX-8 before he said he'd buy a new car... the M5.

Well, ask my friend about the credit check she ran on him. He has a $100K+ student loan to pay off and over $30K in credit card balances.
To me, that's not doing anything "right". $100K loan to pay off and that much credit card debt, and pushing a 5 series....and do you really have to be in front of the lake with that much money to pay off? Not to mention that the credit card debt is most likely a revolving account! Fuggetaboutit! Some what I'm saying is that looks may be deceiving...an M5 with a $100K salary just doesn't add up (at least it won't once they get a mortgage and all the extra costs of living on their own).

Oh and about retirement... I don't think I will ever retire, I just can't imagine not working, I don't think I wanna roll over and die, i'll work til i'm dead!

yeah its strange in houston id think there'd be more people trying to lure me into a little race here and there but ive only had one and it was a pontiac something. It was pretty quick though looked like a g6 or something? well i didn't even know we were racing so he was like a car length ahead of me and he punched it. i had 2 other people in the car and i took off late so i lost.
