Acknowledging your fellow Zs

tettes · 02-05-2010, 12:15 PM

So the other day I saw a silver 370z in Santa Monica, and he flashed his lights at me in a moment of Z comeraderie.

Totally cool, especially because I don't see many Zs in Los Angeles.

I know when I rode a motorcycle, I'd feel compelled to give a head nod or a hand gesture when I saw a fellow rider on the street.

So I'm wondering if you 'tip your cap' when you see other Zs on the road?

And if you do, does that courtesy extend to all Zs, or just 370s?

I usually wave.

i usually give a wave, thumbs up, or head nod...i'll give it to other Z's, doesn't matter what model.

i've received the same from 350's, 370's and even some G35's/37's....

Yep, me too

I get waves or light blips from other 370zs and GT-Rs.

Just saw one on the way to work the other day (unusual) and he waved.

It's nice, you don't see a ton of these guys out on the streets (even in L.A... everyone wants their 135i, heh) so it's a cool little community

Buncha poseurs...

Horseface · 02-05-2010, 12:24 PM

I would do, but I've never seen any other 370Zs on the road since buying mine.

I only see 350s and they're too common and not even real Zs...

smashbar · 02-05-2010, 12:32 PM

A GT-R driver gave me a wave recently. Other than that, I've only seen one other 370 on the road in the past year.

What???????

I'll give thumbs up or high beams to 350 or 370Zs!

spearfish25 · 02-05-2010, 12:35 PM

I blipped my high beams at a 350 this morning. He was all over it with an immediate high beam blip back along with a wave.

M1K3 · 02-05-2010, 12:39 PM

I always try to give a blip of the high beams when i see a fellow Z driver.

Yep!

LOL. I try to acknowledge other drivers. However, when I was younger I gave someone a thumbs up to another fellow car enthusiast, and a cop pulled me over because he imagined that I was attempting to race him

fullmonty · 02-05-2010, 01:11 PM

I thought we were giving each other the finger?

GingaBreadMan · 02-05-2010, 01:48 PM

We are giving the finger. I haven't seen a 370 to do it yet
