I'll wave most of the time to other Z people, but I'm not obligated to nor do I expect them to acknowledge. Sounds like the OP thinks he's better than the others, expecting reciprocation from other Z drivers.

Some people like to pay attention to the road...

Not when you're sitting at a light or in a parking space

I don't care to glance at other cars when sitting at the light.

Come to Texas, people are a little more nice. I always get a wave back from fellow owners.

Are you all sure you just don't live in areas with high concentrations of d-bags?

From Los Angeles, CA ... we have plenty of d-bags to spare. Please take them!

Depending on areas, we have the mexi-style protruding rimmers, the I'm cooler than that (because I have style) ricers, the muscle heads in the camar/charg/llenger/stang- thing, the hurrying SUV who don't know how to drive, the giant American (I don't care if you're there- cause I'm an American hero) pickups, etc...

Hope I didn't offend anyone, just that LA is a melting pot of d-bags. Block to block, you'll always find a different one. Not just Z owners.

Sigh.....

I KNOW I do haha
Nashville! AKA: the land of civics with farts cans, ricers that THINK they're hot s**t and lifted trucks that "roll coal" with HIDs
At least in terms of the auto scene here or lack thereof.

If you did not like how the other driver modified their car, and you thought he/she just ruined the look of a car you really like, would you still wave to them?

I've never thought about that… I want to say yes I would but I feel that if it was too far gone, I wouldn't.

Plenty of love down south between Z owners on the roads and whatnot.
