At least they are not Z-31's. I thought the z was forever doomed when I say my first one back in '83.

Myself meh I am nothing special just a dude with a mohawk on vacation from the sandbox and unknowingly to him a former Marine Veteran. Now back on track, Marine: Hey man what the hell is your problem? Me: I don't really have an issue I just asked you about your ride well b/c I am actually thinking about starting a Z club in this area and just wanted to spread the word. Marine:Why would anyone want to be in a club with a douchebag like you?Me: I expected more tact coming from a man who is serving in "My Marine Corps"< Me: I understand that not all Marine's are created equal but how about carrying yourself with some ******* pride b/c that high and tight you are wearing is screaming jarhead and you are constantly in the eye of the public and with that said I would hope you think before you speak to a total stranger who might end up putting your **** in the dirt just b/c you wanted to be big bad Marine. Sister: chimes in I say Roger that get in my car and drive away. Sister calls me later and said guy just stood there pissed off and asked her if she knew me and she said um yes that's my older brother. If you hadn't guessed it he is a former Marine. Marine:well he must have been a pussy if he got out. Sister:No he got out in 05 and did a tour in 03 when the war first started and now he is a DOD security contractor. In fact he goes back in a few days so while your here playing that video game your holding in your hand he's probably playing call of duty for real with no respawn. So while your pretending to play a big bad Marine on your tv he is still being one. Marine:Put's game back and walks out LOL. Sorry for such the long story guys.

It's kind of like comparing this forum to the 350 forum. Just a slightly different demographic, but it makes a world of a difference.
I wish I could say I know... but im the only 370z for 300+ miles

I try to wave when I can, but every time I see one on the road, I can never seem to get up next to it. That it the Windows are tinted so damn dark I can't even see the other driver

There is nothing worse than a Z driver who bought the car because it was "cute", "kicky" or "adorable".

Shoot me now.

I'm with you........75% of the owners could give a crap about the history of the Z etc, thats just reality. Also Wdkwang said not only Z33 but Z34 owners as well are ignoring him so we can't just say its Z33 owner etc etc..........

Maybe the other guys think the OP is hitting on them. He does have tendencies.

you posted it before and damaged me psychologically. I still have nightmares. That's why I no longer wave to white Z's or anyone named Derrick.

^ I'd like to hear more of the story

I know what you guys mean, but all in all, i don't see why this should really even bother you guys that they don't talk about cars or acknowledge another z.

My boy that rides tells me bikers always acknowledge each other on the road and that cool. Too bad there isn't more Z guys like that.
there's just too many 350Z's out and driven by normal folks. to them it's like me driving my HondaFit to the super market and someone in another Fit gives me a thumbs up. i'll be like huh? and probably like 10min later i'll figure out he was at my car. lol

i dont wave to 350z folks at all actually... unless it was modded and we see each other. i dont think i'd wave to another 370Z owner too unless it was modded.
