And I admit I miss the respect. My Z is mint and beautiful so when people actually SEE it they are wowed. But when they ask what car I drive before seeing it they aren't impressed. When I used to say "A twin turbo Supra" sometimes people's jaws would drop - the Supra has a mythical reputation. But still, I like my TTZ more than I ever liked my Supra.
There is kind of a reverse snob appeal of owning a car people don't know about. My dad gave his BMW 540i to my mom and bought himself an Audi A8. 99% of people don't know how incredible the A8 is and the amazing engineering that went into it - and my dad likes it that way. Totally anonymous.
