Problem is, after driving the car for 3 months, I never received a response or an initiation of a greeting from the 350 crowd. Figured it was a fluke.
I finally got what I wanted - a sharp looking white 350Z gave a quick flash as the sun was setting when we passed on a residential road. I couldn't return it in time, since I wasn't expecting it. 
Wife was in the car in front of me, and she commented on it when we got home.
"Why'd you get flashed?"
I told her it was a "hi".
"Nice 350 - great color. It looked different!" It had a tasteful body kit on it. Funny my better half can now recognize the diffs between the two - and they're both still Z's.
Kudos to the fellow Z owner who also appreciates the heritage! |
That's part of the problem - there is such a diversity in Z cars from the 240Z to the 370Z that a lot of guys seperated by a generation don't recognize the heritage. The Z31 guys are the funniest being the red headed step child and all they are in shock when an S30, S130, Z32, Z33 or Z34 waves at them
They want to wave but they are in such shock they never respond fast enough and start waving at the Civic behind you
I find the lack of waveage from the Z33 guys is just the girl who bought the pretty converitible sports car when asked what kind of car she drives she says "the white sports car".... don't expect and comradery from people who don't know anything about what they are driving....
