Seriously though, Z owners don't like to look in my direction either.

Once in a while, when they do... I'm all like

My GF had gotten to the point that she flips off 350 drivers because every time we wave at one we get the cold shoulder LOL

If you've got a z32 or prior, you have an old Z, and clearly, you like z's, because people don't drive 15+year old sports cars unless they are enthusiastic about them. if you've got a z34 you just bought a new car, and chances are if you're willing to drop more money for the newer version of the car, you're more enthusiastic about it than the person who says 'i'll just get a 350 because its cheaper (not that there is anything wrong with that).' 350Z could be anywhere from 3-7 years old, which puts them in an affordable price range for someone who is just looking for a fast, nice looking car, but not necessarily a Z enthusiast.

so more to the point, a Z enthusiast would be willing to either:
A: drive an 15+ year old car because they love it
B: Drop the extra cash to get the newest model Z around.

You don't need to do either of those things in order to own a 350Z, making it the most likely Z for a non Z enthusiast to own.


350 drivers were jerks right out of the shoot. In 2003 I started waving in my Z32 and no wave then either.

It's just a car...a consumer product...a mode of transportation that I enjoy.

If I don't know you, you don't even get a second look. I'm not a snob, but there are too many reckless, competitive, poser, douchbag "enthusiasts" on the road as it is.

Don't take it personally if someone doesn't wave.

sounds pretty snobby to me :roflpuke2:

To be a bit more rational, enthusiasts are not all reckless, competitive, poser, douchebag, etc etc etc... Don't know where that image comes from.

Some people simply get excited about their car and other nice cars.

If someone waves, you can decline to wave back, but it is an unfriendly snub.

Just waving back takes no effort and makes a stranger smile. And it's fun to see other people who drive the same car. It means you have common ground.

If I wave to you and you ignore me, how is it not personal?

This is true, so sorry if you assumed that I meant ALL enthusiasts are that way.

If I see you wave at me and it's safe...I'll likely wave back. Just don't slit your wrists if I don't wave back or initiate a wave. I might be focusing on the road instead of you.

Dammit....I bled all over my Interior for nothing ?

All I had was a butter Knife, but I finally got them slit...

Just Kidding...

I do not wave at every 370Z mainly because I never see one. Kinda cool that there are not that many on the road in my Area..

You see plenty of Camaro's, Mustang's, 350Z's, 300 Chrysler Bentley wanna be's, but no 370'z.. And never a Z/28 like mine, and I like being different..

But if someone waves at me, I will wave back...
