Is it Just Me or What?

I've gotten a courtesy "flash" from a white 350Z (looked good, too!) and a wave from a red 350Z while I was exiting a parking lot. Not much else.

People like you are what makes this crowd look like ********. Not everyone is jealous of a 370z. The guy probably could care less about the scene and bought the roadster because he just liked it. Get over yourself this car isnt hard to buy.

I did notice that most 350z drivers I run into are aged caucasian females tho. I think they'd get scared if I waved to 'em since I'm an asian with a mohawk.

In your case, I think everybody would get scared if you waved to them..

First day I had my Z... driving down the highway and I get a red 300ZX behind me... roll down my window, give him a wave... he pulls up beside me, stares me down, downshifts, blows off his turbo and takes off... total jacka$$ in my opinion

Not if he waved to a VW Jetta or Bettle. Theyd probably wave back.

And he looks at me and says thanks me too. and that was it. not kiss my xxs
or anything else. am i making to much of this? there must be some friendly z drivers somewhere. this forum is proof there out there...........

didn't mean to ramble sorry

You don't know what was going on in his life. He might be in the middle of the bad-end of a divorce and having to sell the Z or face watching his X roll around in it for all you knew. He wasn't rude to you, just seemed "preoccupied", per your post.

sonic370 · 12-18-2010, 10:22 AM

i never said he was rude. how would you know he wasn't being rude?

i was there i could tell by his demeaner....

it was all about the cars.....but i'm over it. it's not that big of a deal.

it was a slow day so i posted it.

or...

Pehapse he was not perceived by you to be rude or previously your post would have likely mentioned it?

How many ways can we say it?

Okay, your turn again!

Vegitto-kun · 12-18-2010, 12:21 PM

I have never seen a 350Z on the road here.

There was 2 350s and one white 370Z at francorchamps but they didn't talk to me >_>

I did have some nice talks to the GT-R owners there.

I lolled when 2 of them came next to me during one of the long straights and honked.

I floored it

then I got raped hard.

Ztoon · 12-18-2010, 12:34 PM

I've had great conversations with all Z owners 240 280 300, etc.,..... not 350 owners though.

So far, every one I've run by won't even acknowledge me.

One exception.... at a red light, his passenger gave me a thumbs up!

ProfessorDave · 12-18-2010, 12:55 PM

Obviously the 350 owner was not a true car guy. True car guys like talking to other car guys. Even if their car is not your preference, you say "nice (fill in the blank)" or "how do you like your (fill in the blank)" and they say "thanks" or "I like it" at the very LEAST.

I interacted with only one 350 owner - pulled up next to me at a light. We both did the "nice car" with thumbs up at the same time.
