Acknowledging your fellow Zs
 

So the other day I saw a silver 370z in Santa Monica, and he flashed his lights at me in a moment of Z comeraderie.

Totally cool, especially because I don't see many Zs in Los Angeles.

I know when I rode a motorcycle, I'd feel compelled to give a head nod or a hand gesture when I saw a fellow rider on the street.

So I'm wondering if you 'tip your cap' when you see other Zs on the road?

And if you do, does that courtesy extend to all Zs, or just 370s?

I usually wave.

i usually give a wave, thumbs up, or head nod...i'll give it to other Z's, doesn't matter what model.

i've received the same from 350's, 370's and even some G35's/37's....

I would do, but I've never seen any other 370Zs on the road since buying mine. :)

I only see 350s and they're too common and not even real Zs...

;)

A GT-R driver gave me a wave recently. Other than that, I've only seen one other 370 on the road in the past year.

I blipped my high beams at a 350 this morning. He was all over it with an immediate high beam blip back along with a wave.

I always try to give a blip of the high beams when i see a fellow Z driver. :tiphat:

I thought we were giving each other the finger?

We are giving the finger. I haven't seen a 370 to do it yet

Finally had the first person in a Z (350) wave at me, I promptly returned the wave, and I will continue to wave at any Z I see in close proximity.

Yes, I flash the lights, but have only seen 1 other 370Z.

Where I am from, mostly Benz's, Porsches, and Audi's (although many Lexus's). Some people have got an attitude with Japanese sports cars. Very few Z's here.

My friends daughter said she wouldn't get caught dead in a Honda or Nissan etc.. She HAD to have her daddy buy her an Audi. What a snob

It's easy to get stuck in the German car fetish. However, I'm more enamored with my Z than any Audi I've ever owned. The 'rawness' of the car is really fun. I just wish the dealership/service experiences were better. So far, Nissan does a piss-poor customer service job. The idea of taking the car in for a service gives me goose bumps.

I've always thrown the upside down "V" to fellow riders(cruisers AND sportbikes) when I'm on my bike but it feels pretty awkward acknowledging somebody else while I'm in my Z.

Yep!:iagree::tiphat:

LOL. I try to acknowledge other drivers. However, when I was younger I gave someone a thumbs up to another fellow car enthusiast, and a cop pulled me over because he imagined that I was attempting to race him :shakes head:

doesnt it suck when you forget that you're driving another car and you wave and thumbsup at a z and they're looking at you like :confused:

never happened to me either.

Here is a similar thread, good reading:

flash of the high beams. Once i had a Lady wave at me in my Z while she was in hers.

If I get the chance, for sure. I'm still in my 350, so as long as it's a Z.

A Viper driver around here seems friendly as well... So he's included...

What???????

I'll give thumbs up or high beams to 350 or 370Zs! :tup:

I've seen a few 350Z's around here..and I notice they are usually taking a look at my car, and I feel like I should wave...but then it feels awkward..lol..most of the drivers are guys and I'm a semi-older lady. Not sure what they'd think. LOL!

headlight blip, any Z.

Prolly blip a GT-R if I ever saw one....

Believe it or not, there's alot of Z douchebaggery around here, especially since an 03'-04' 350 can be afforded by a zit faced high school kid that works at sonic. The only ones that ever beam me back are the older enthusiast types.

+1

telling ya it was the coolest thing to see this white haired lady wave at me from her 350z roadster hehe. She intiated it too so i was impressed.

i have never seen a GT-R on the road yet.

But if i see a Z, i have to see if he carries a gun, before i wave.

Yep, me too :tup:

This Z carries one, a Smith & Wesson J-frame .357 to be exact, should I wave with my hand or the gat? :icon17:

I get waves or light blips from other 370zs and GT-Rs.

Just saw one on the way to work the other day (unusual) and he waved.

It's nice, you don't see a ton of these guys out on the streets (even in L.A... everyone wants their 135i, heh) so it's a cool little community

Buncha poseurs...

All the 350Z drivers in this area are ********. Most of the ones I've encountered have flipped me off or tried to race me after waving to them.

Haven't seen many 370Zs in this area.

The right z thang to do is
Flick your beams twice and nod!
Respect baby, baby!
Every z I see, I do!

I usually engage in a vehicular game of Chicken...so far Semtex has balked. :eekdance:

Flick of the high beams or a wave.

I also own a jeep wrangler, and the commrodary between wrangler owners is phenominal. Since pretty much every wrangler looks the same since the 40's I find it exhausting how much I wave on a simple drive to the food market. So yes, be courteous, but damn nuthing will ever beat being on the road with a wrangler.

:tiphat:

+2 here. I've seen very few 370's but i have seen 3 blue ones and I gave a high-beam blip to the first one that was traveling towards me, with no response, and also to a roadster (looks sweet btw) and again nothing. I got a wave from an older gentleman in a blue 370, but the 350z crowd try to be snoody. I have caught them staring and they try to look away like they weren't drooling. On the highway i caught up with a blacked out bmw 1 series, we gave each other thumbs up. other than that there is a lot of douchebaggery in South FL.

Well I'm not white haired YET LOL! I'm not THAT old ;) Yet.

I notice this too.. I admire all Z's! 240-370!

judging from your picture you look hot. Theres not one dude who doesnt want you waving at them in any sitution lol

I'll second that!:iagree:

Met a nice looking lady in the gas station the other day. She was driving a graphite 350Z. Had a nice conversation admiring each other's cars. It was a great ice breaker for an intro.

Got to love those hot babes in hot cars!!!

:iagree:
