Do any 370Z drivers "wave" at each other?

Please explain yourself because this makes no sense. You obviously have not been in the Z community long enough to understand that the WAVE, FLASH, etc. is a part of the Z car culture.

maybe he's getting at it may be distracting?

:dunno:

Its a part of gearhead culture... All motorists with the same or cool cars or people who like cool cars wave or nod or something. And bikers give each other a signal too

I've waved to and been waved at by plenty of 350z drivers in my 350z. The couple 370z's I've seen usually are keen on my driving a Z car too. Part of why I love the Z Car/community!

so many 350 owners hate us 370 owners, I always want to yell " I used to own a 350!"

And they are prolly yelling in their heads "I wish I had a 370z!"

but yeah the 350 owners I don't really respond to much, and I think that irks them a lot. O well. Im doing me you do you.

After driving Corvettes for years then switching to the 370Z, it was a habit I already had. I have noticed that not many wave back, though.

I certainly don't wave or anything unless someone else waves at me first. I don't think the Z has a close community like the Motorcycles or the Jeeps. I know that most of the time Motorcycles do their wave thing and the same for Jeeps. As for the Z, I don't think the people really care to be honest.

enkei2k · 09-26-2012, 01:30 PM

I would wave, or give a thumbs up if I see one...IF I see one (370 only, 350s get no love from me

). I haven't spotted one for a while now.

I wonder why?? I'm sure that everyone who owns a Z has come to this forum at least once...there is such a great community.

It depends on what kind of wave you give. If you are trying real hard to get someones attention you will probably creep them out (like sticking your whole head out of your car and yelling waving and hoking) LOL thats called being thirsty for attention so thats most who gets no love or the other party who will proabably be like why was that guy having a seizure while driving...LOSER

Half the time I don't even pay attention to waves or even high beam flashes, but when someone honks and waves then I participate. Its called mutual respect and admiration and playing it cool. Thats how we Z/G drivers roll.

I had a 300z wave at me last week which was cool as I rarely see them on the road. I always either wave or flick the headlights when passing any Z's.

anyway he was in a 240sx and wouldn't stop trying to keep up in traffic and stare

so I rolled the window down to wave and get the stare

Well maybe I'm excited because i'm new to the Z community

and want to hang out the car because every Z I saw up to that point didn't wave so I was fed up and went

I was in upstate NY a few weeks back and a 300ZX waved at me...I was fumbling with something so only shot a thumb up as he was almost at my doors

I've waved at most 370's or have been waved at, especially if modded..don't see them everyday
