Default To wave or not to wave....

In the two weeks that I have had my Z, I have not seen another 370. I have however seen many 350's and even a 280zx. Every time I give a little wave. Not once has it been reciprocated. You could argue that maybe they didn't see me but some were looking directly at me.

I remember, as a kid, when driving with my father in his 1970 240z, every other z we passed would wave. (That's my dad racing his 240z back in 1975 in my avatar)

So if you happen to be driving around Indianapolis and you see someone in a Monterey Blue 370Z give you a wave, throw one back.

I wave at all Z's. It's the way of the Z enthusiast, especially if they appreciate the history of the car.

i've found that alot of 350 owners are haters, they usually dont wave back.

Them not waving back is their problem not yours - wave on bro! Most of the 350's I pass in my 280 don't even know what they are looking at - heck, my 280 is older than most of them - I'm talking the driver not the car.

It's a mixed bag. If I notice them noticing me...then I'll wave.

I always give a wave or a nod to a 350 roadster. Today was actually the first time I saw another 370. It was a coupe, but I still felt a strange connection.

I never once thought to wave to another 350 or 370z only because I keep to myself when driving. I only look around to make sure nobody decides to side swipe me. That being said there's another yellow 370z Sport and a MB 370z Sport I see hanging around the Coral Springs, Fl area. I wonder if they are members here sometimes.

i typically only wave back when they car is not stock. got tired at waving at every Z i saw and would get a stare, around here any Z enthusiast will have some sort of small mod so it's relatively easy to identify with the trained eye.

Did you execute a constant donut around her car whilst receiving a sheet of paper with her number on it? and is this you?

No couldn't be him. We're talking Z's not RX-7's.
