To wave or not to wave....

Dembflyr · 04-18-2010, 09:56 PM

In the two weeks that I have had my Z, I have not seen another 370. I have however seen many 350's and even a 280zx. Every time I give a little wave. Not once has it been reciprocated. You could argue that maybe they didn't see me but some were looking directly at me.

I remember, as a kid, when driving with my father in his 1970 240z, every other z we passed would wave. (That's my dad racing his 240z back in 1975 in my avatar)

So if you happen to be driving around Indianapolis and you see someone in a Monterey Blue 370Z give you a wave, throw one back.

I wave at all Z's. It's the way of the Z enthusiast, especially if they appreciate the history of the car.

i've found that alot of 350 owners are haters, they usually dont wave back.

^ Speaks the truth

Anyway, here is the original wave thread:

Waving

Them not waving back is their problem not yours - wave on bro! Most of the 350's I pass in my 280 don't even know what they are looking at - heck, my 280 is older than most of them - I'm talking the driver not the car.

Especially if they hang all day in my350Z.

I wave at all the Zs I see, if they don't wave back fck them!

It's a mixed bag. If I notice them noticing me...then I'll wave.

I always give a wave or a nod to a 350 roadster. Today was actually the first time I saw another 370. It was a coupe, but I still felt a strange connection.

I always wave too, but there are so few Zs in hk. Esp 370s. A chick blew me a kiss once and it was all worth it Lol.

That's hurts mah feewings....

I never once thought to wave to another 350 or 370z only because I keep to myself when driving. I only look around to make sure nobody decides to side swipe me. That being said there's another yellow 370z Sport and a MB 370z Sport I see hanging around the Coral Springs, Fl area. I wonder if they are members here sometimes.

i typically only wave back when they car is not stock. got tired at waving at every Z i saw and would get a stare, around here any Z enthusiast will have some sort of small mod so it's relatively easy to identify with the trained eye.

No couldn't be him. We're talking Z's not RX-7's.
