Do Z owners think they're cool?

Grindkiezer

I've encountered a handful of Z owners, that yeah are the nicest/most modest people out there (usually meet them at car shows) I'm just talking about these few people that act like I offended them

Yea I was just saying how I am on the freeway. Im in no way "too cool for you", heck i dont even rev. On the streets one dude hunted me down(zig zagging through traffic) just to wave to me and I nodded. Another person on opposing traffic just stopped in the road to stare at me (maybe he was looking for a wave or just mad dogging me). Luckily it wasnt the main street and no one rear ended him. I didn't acknowledge and passed him. If all drove recklessly or stopped traffic for no reason, I would rather just not participate for the sake of people around them. In Los Angeles, there's plenty of Z's and ZX's. Can't see myself having to acknowledge them all.

I don't think I'm cool........I know I'm cool

I like to think I'm pretty dang cool!

Nah I wave at 370s, 350s, 300s, etc. I've had a few people give me the WTF stare but I've also had many many waves. I think every model of a car has their own set of d-bags. It is what it is!

Well you should be able to hear a horn, what if I was honking at you to let you know your dress was hanging out the door?

Also perhaps not the same shirt, but what if you are a sport fan and you saw someone wearing the same team apparel as you? To me it is kind of like that.

I wave when I can. I don't always get a wave back or acknowledgement, but when I do I

Its in the manual, at least on the 2013 Z, "The obligatory ""wus up man"" man nod/wave is no longer obligatory" Pg 36, paragraph 3. As*holes unite!!!

Old but funny video I enjoy when people talk about Z owner being douchebags and what not.

However, nine times out of ten, I can't tell if someone is waving/thumbs upping me when driving by - the tint is so dark on their car + my tint... I can't see.

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...

It'd be funny if an admin posted that.

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

I thought you said you were leaving?

Back on topic, I'll wave at a stock or tastefully modded Z of any vintage. If you're rocking the hellaflush look, I'll pretend I didn't see you.

Most Z owners I've come across (regardless of gen) have been d-bags. LITERALLY less than a handful I have met have shown good comradery. TWO different Z owners I came across here in the Nashville area (one even in our TN G/Z FB group) actually gave me a hard time about owning a touring model and not a "sport model".
Seriously!? Judging a fellow enthusiast about his or her trim level?

I LOVE the amount of information on this forum and the knowledge of it's members but, DAMN I have REALLY been disappointed in the community. I had a friend of mine put it this way. "Think of Z owners like BMW owners. React and respond as such" He is a former Z owner and now drives a BMW X5 lol

Just my POV and I'll side with the OP.

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