Waving
 

Fellow 370z owners - I feel that when we see another Z on the road, we should wave to each other (situation permitting of course). :tiphat: The few Z's I saw in NE Ohio all waved to each other, but it seems here in the SE where Z's are more abundant, not everyone waves...

Word....

I have tried to wave at 370s here but no one seems to give a ****.

Ive gotten some waves from 350's. The only 370 Ive run into with an owner that I DONT work with (while I was in my 370 too, at least), was going my way. Came up, tossed a wave, and sped off (sadly, I was just turning off at the time).

Here in Houston, I've been waved at or "thumbs up" a few times. Actually, I've been "thumbs up" by many non 370z owners. I try to return the gesture when I can. :tiphat:

I flash my lights at any Z from 240 thru 350.

I'd flash at 370s too, but I'm starting to think I have the only 370Z in CT :icon14:

i got a wave and a thumbs up from a 370Z here so i did the same :)

i try to say "what's up?" to most Z drivers. 350Z owners seem to be the most oblivious (stock ones that is). 240Z-300ZX owners usually know what they're driving and the camaraderie involved.

There aren't a lot of Z's where I live, but half of the ones I have seen tried to race me. I have yet to see another 370z.

I TOTALLY agree.

I wave at every one I see, only gotten it back once or twice.
When I had my vette, it was one of the commandments that you waived to the other ones. If you didn't wave, the dude may flip around to educate you on the importance of the vette wave, rofl.

I remember the days of the VR-4 spoiler wave, that was fun. I usually just flip the brights.

A few months ago, a guy and is girlfriend in a GT-R waved and gave me a thumbs up. I returned the favor. It was a very good experience.

People try to act too cool now to give a wave back. I give anyone and anything that looks good a thumbs up. GT-R's, vettes, nice sounding F-bod's or Cobras...whatever.

I did give a camaro that obviously had a lot of engine work done a thumbs up and was shocked when he gave it back. Sad to think those guys who we normally think of as rice haters are more polite than us. :icon14:

Lets be honest here - look at a large majority of people buying imports. Fast and the Furious fan boys who are hard rollers, far too cool to toss a simple wave of respect. Everyone has that attitude like they have something to prove. Just look at the way they're always portrayed in the movies - badasses who are too cool to talk to one another instead of welcoming a newbie with open arms.

On the other hand, if you look at the modded domestic crew (like, seriously motor modded...Im not talking lowering springs and wheels douches) - they obviously bought the car because the ease of mod-ability and a self-proclaimed love for their vehicle of choice. Its a much smaller, generally tighter-knit community because everyone else and their mother wants a true sports car like a Scion tC with a dealer-installed TRD supercharger kit. They need to take what respect they can get, and being as I HAD a modded Camaro like that, getting a thumbs up from an import guy was an immediate sign that he was NOT a douche, and I didn't hesitate to throw one back.

i flash all the time, its like 50/50 who will flash back.

Indeed. Definitely a different crowd than when I was running with the vette, fbod, and goat people.

What trench-coat do you prefer to use? :D

To be honest, I miss the community I had back in Omaha, NE. Sounds silly, but they had some SERIOUS car guys out there, that really did whatever they could to go fast as cheap as possible. No flashy body kits or ******** like that - a lot of really tasteful stuff. We had a weekly car show at a local bar/restaurant that, on a day with good weather, 200+ people would show. Who cares how many were repeat attendees...it was just nice to BS and get some real car enthusiast chatter in there. Rat rods, ground-up classic resto's, new age tuners - you name it, it was there. And everyone got along. Ok, minus the dumbasses showing up with their sound systems and blasting them while they rolled hard through the lot - and THOSE are the same kinds of guys I don't want to associate with.

We have had some car gatherings that have been brought down by that type of crap as well. I don't even bother anymore.

Even though he was KINDA a douche, we had a cop who showed in uniform all the time....off duty in his 60's Chevelle. But none the less, it did a decent job warding off the morons tried doing burnouts and rolling through subs-a-blaring...

rofl, nice. so even though he was kind of a douche, he reduced the douche of others so much it offset his own doucheness.

Correct.

:iagree:

Yes, the world needs more love and good-spirits.

Im hoping you dont mean the over coat flash?

My Dad has owned a vette for years now, and they all wave to each other. It would be cool if we had a community like that as well.

I try to wave if it permits at all the Z heritage lines 240,300,350, or 370Z but unfortunately in california everyone is ignorant as fxxk and won't return your waves or thumbs up and some will even go out of their way just to flip you off or stair at you like you're retarded. I think when you do a thumbs up to them the people sitting in the 350Z is going "that fxxker in the 370 wants to race me!" But anyway, my fellow 370Z that I've seen on the road all gave me thumbs up when I do it, so again the 350Z community pisses me off a bit. lol

yeah i waved at a guy in a 370 the other day and he just gave me this blank stair like WTF? and threw back this half wave i felt like a retard haha

Don't let that stop you, he's the retard.

...can't wave to ya', but GREETINGS FROM PUERTO RICO, my friend!

If I ever saw another 370 on the road I'd give a wave or flash the headlights, atleast let them know I'm saying hi. I don't really go out of my way for a 350 just because they are fairly common, unless they give me a wave or something then they are cool. For the most part around me the bulk majority of the people driving the 350s are cool, some people just don't know, and there have been a few who notice, know, but won't even give you the time of day because they think their base 350 is the hottest thing on wheels. Not everyone can be cool I guess

i was in my 300zx behind a 350z in my small town on the main road.
all of a sudden we both see a 370z coming in the opposite direction. it was awsome lol.
we all passed each other going 10 mph as we checked each others cars out lol.

I always wave to a fellow Z owner if I see them.

we call it a "duster" over here hehe

You live in a place called Canton GA. Doesn't everyone wave to everyone there by default? :icon17:

I live in Los Angeles. My own mother wouldn't wave to me. :bowrofl:

^So true KillerBee

nope no waving for me...well i never wave anyways plus windows tinted so you cant see me :P

defenitly no flashing headlights....you can get shot in cali by doin that hahahaha

and if you ever caught me with my window down all i get is "how much HP do you have?" or "you want to race" ooorrrr if its an evo or sti all i get is a ricer flyby shifting next to me so i can hear there blow off valve

im not an a-hole per se its just the neighborhood/area i live in you dont see "waving" that often
killerbee said it best :D

I at least try to look over when I see another Z.. there are quite a few Z's and G's (all models) in Chicago, will usually give/get a thumbs up..

I remember like the second day I had the car, was on the expressway and this GT-R comes onto the expressway behind me from the on-ramp.. He nails it and gets right on my ***.. I was thinking, oh ****, this dude wants to race me and is going to whip my ***... Luckily he just pulled along side me and gave me a big thumbs up.. I just smiled and did the same..
