The Official Z Greeting

red6spd · 09-24-2010, 10:21 PM

I give the wave all the time, but dont get it back much. Most guys seem confused??? I dont know. Subaru owners do it all the time, they even honk at each other LOL.

its sad most Z owners don't acknowledge each other. I've beeped and flashed the high beams to many Z's...all 350's around here and I've noticed that when they drive by my house and the Z is outside...I hear them rev their engine kinda like a " Got played" rev. So, not cool. Stop being jealous already GEEZ! Just tryin to give my Z owners props and they play me haha pathetic...

Dude...350s don't have love for us 370 owners. When I see one i always initiate a greeting...honk/wave...but they just look at me. Its a look of animosity. Since they don't want to be friendly...Ive decided to just give them a pompous smirk as I drive past them.

Saw a flawless 300ZX in my rearview mirror yesterday. As it passed, he gave me a thumbs up and I gave him peace. Not everyone is a douche bag.

red6spd · 09-25-2010, 08:17 AM

I get a wave here and there, but never from a NISMO owner. If I ever get a wave back from a NISMO should I report the car stolen?

I think in their mind we are saying "Since they don't want to be friendly...Ive decided to just give them a pompous smirk as I drive past them.

Waizzz is a 350 owner and a d-bag but he has his moments

So is gladeslvrcoq...

I'm fairly sure that most owners that don't acknowledge have no clue about these forums and are just daily drivers. I have a 350 and I don't bother much anymore because it seems to weird out the other 350/370 drivers.

I don't acknowledge a stock 350z for the same reason.

^Nice ninja edit, I almost got you.

He's my friend so he was obviously kidding.

AtomicRob · 09-25-2010, 11:11 PM

I don't usually wave first, but if I get waved at I retun the gesture. It's not really a big deal tho. The first human response to waves from an unknown person is usually, "do I know him?

", "is he/she waving at me?

", and that can be easily mis-interpreted as someone being a douche. I'd rather avoid that so I never wave first.

a smile on the other hand is different.

Naytch · 09-26-2010, 06:04 AM

okay, past a 350 today...I honked to establish contact. Person made eye contact and gave me a "whatever dude" kinda look. Thats the last time I'll ever do that.

I also saw an Altima coupe...looks like the dude took pretty good care of it and it was "suped up" with rims and the like...I get a pompous feeling when i drive up to Altima coupes...i dont know why. So i drive up to the guy...he doesnt even turn an eye...but you can read jealousy all over his expression. I wonder what is going through his mind.

Does anyone rev their engine at stop lights? I find myself doing that too (not excessively)

I know, i sound like a douche...but you know, I'm just proud of my baby.

Parked in a spot at Old Navy yesterday when I saw a 350 drive by. The guy gave me a little glance but then turned away. He parked a few spots away from me got out just as me and my girl where getting out of my Z. I was checking out his 350, it was stock but clean. As he walked away from his car he did the quick head turn over at me then pretty much turned his head the other way and walked away, if there would have been something in front of him he would have walked right into it LOL.

I'd be afraid to wave knowing you're in the car....

j/k

I wave all the time. It doesn't bother me if they didn't wave back. Lots of reasons why they don't like not seeing me until it's too late, something in their hand, busy controlling the car or radio, etc.
