Acknowledging your fellow Zs

flashburn · 02-05-2010, 01:55 PM

Finally had the first person in a Z (350) wave at me, I promptly returned the wave, and I will continue to wave at any Z I see in close proximity.

ferrari_rich · 02-05-2010, 02:09 PM

Yes, I flash the lights, but have only seen 1 other 370Z.

Where I am from, mostly Benz's, Porsches, and Audi's (although many Lexus's). Some people have got an attitude with Japanese sports cars. Very few Z's here.

My friends daughter said she wouldn't get caught dead in a Honda or Nissan etc.. She HAD to have her daddy buy her an Audi. What a snob

It's easy to get stuck in the German car fetish. However, I'm more enamored with my Z than any Audi I've ever owned. The 'rawness' of the car is really fun. I just wish the dealership/service experiences were better. So far, Nissan does a piss-poor customer service job. The idea of taking the car in for a service gives me goose bumps.

I've always thrown the upside down "V" to fellow riders(cruisers AND sportbikes) when I'm on my bike but it feels pretty awkward acknowledging somebody else while I'm in my Z.

doesnt it suck when you forget that you're driving another car and you wave and thumbsup at a z and they're looking at you like

never happened to me either.

All the 350Z drivers in this area are ********. Most of the ones I've encountered have flipped me off or tried to race me after waving to them.

Haven't seen many 370Zs in this area.

flash of the high beams. Once i had a Lady wave at me in my Z while she was in hers.

Xan · 02-05-2010, 07:14 PM

If I get the chance, for sure. I'm still in my 350, so as long as it's a Z.

A Viper driver around here seems friendly as well... So he's included...

TamZ · 02-05-2010, 07:32 PM

I've seen a few 350Z's around here..and I notice they are usually taking a look at my car, and I feel like I should wave...but then it feels awkward..lol..most of the drivers are guys and I'm a semi-older lady. Not sure what they'd think. LOL!

370Zsteve · 02-05-2010, 07:35 PM

telling ya it was the coolest thing to see this white haired lady wave at me from her 350z roadster hehe. She intiated it too so i was impressed.

zmyride · 02-05-2010, 09:20 PM

i have never seen a GT-R on the road yet.

But if i see a Z, i have to see if he carries a gun, before i wave.

This Z carries one, a Smith & Wesson J-frame .357 to be exact, should I wave with my hand or the gat?
