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

I always bump my high beams when passing another Z if I am in my car. You will normally get a response like a FLASH or wave back from either a long time Z owner, multiple generation Z owner or someone who has been in the community for a long time.
Yeah.. a high beam here where I live means you want to get shot.

For me two times. First, my GF thumbs up another 350z and he nodded back. Second was when this Z was looking to pull out while other Jenks won't let him. When it was my turn I yielded for him and he pulled out in front of me, blinked his emergency light twice and drove on. I'd like to assume he was saying thanks.

I do a thing called the mirror high five
If I see a Z in the opposite lane coming by me, I swerve into their lane and lightly tap the side view mirror as they go by.
One a$$hole didn't want to play my game and veered off the bridge (karma I guess)

For some reason I never see any other 370z when I am actually in my Z, only when I am driving my truck and when I wave they look at me like I am retarded.

I give a high beam bump if i see a modded Z. I usually get it back. I don't wave at stock looking Z's cuz they usually don't care. Once i tried to compliment an old guy in a beautiful 240Z and he just looked at me like i was a deuce! Whatever.
