My First "Wave" from a fellow 350Z driver!

Mt Tam I am

I have seen a copper colored (Daytona sunset) 350 convertible driving by for months, and while I always get a wave while I am on foot. When I am in my car I seemingly get ignored. I waved as the 350 went by. Nothing. I drive up behind wave, then flash my lights and wave, still nothing. Four miles later through all kinds of twist and turns, I go another direction and wave one last time. Nothing.
I just got a wave from a kid in a 1977-8 280Z. I did not get too many waves from 350's while I was driving my 300 either. What makes 350 drivers so arrogant?

Actually, it's only owners of 2004.5 350Z's ........with miata doors.

When the Mazda comes out with replacement 370Z doors and you buy a set, I will acknowlege you and not a moment sooner!







.....seriously, I wave at every Z I see, no matter what year.

when i first got my 350 i tried to wave to other 350's a couple of times
nothing. then i joined the 350z.com forum and figured out why. most of those guys got issues.

when i got my 370 same thing no wave backs so i gave up. maybe i look pissed off all the time i don't know.....


at least this forum is a whole lot cooler....

It's not arrogance, it's owning a car that rattles like a GM, has more plastic, and barely puts 240whp down. It makes you kinda bitter when you see someone with a car that isn't a pile. Been there, done that, wasn't bitter though. Knew better was coming

All jokes aside, the attitude on this forum is NOTHING like the crap I saw on the 350 forum. It was like middle-school all over again.

Worry not - for time makes fools of all of us. I promise you it will happen here - just wait until ever other *** hat can afford a used 370.

was driving through cypress the first night after i bought my car. a fixed up 350z pulls up, guy rolls down his window and starts cheering at me. must've had some alcohol. he was having a good time and was so loud that I was pretty much scared of him. but...i felt welcomed in this Z world. it was like an initiation...

Haha, that reminds me of a street-light 1am encounter I had a while back.

I pull up to a red-light next to a black Range Rover. My windows are up, music blasting pretty good.

I hear muffled shouting, so I turn off the music wondering what is going on. I hear someone sounding pretty pissed. I roll down a window to hear better.

"**** YOU! **** YOU!!!!" comes wafting over from the Range-Rover.
I look over and the guy is staring dead-ahead, not looking at me at all.

I thought it was wierd as hell, then I hear him: "You're red. YOUR ALWAYS ****ING RED!! YOU SHOULD BE GREEN! WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS ****ING RED!!!!"

I realize he is yelling at the traffic light. The guy was putting SERIOUS passion into it, every vein standing out, etc.

Then he turns to me and says "ITS ALWAYS RED!!!". I had to admit, I ALWAYS do arrive at that light when it's red.

THe guy continued to shout until we pulled away. Kinda wierd, but funny as hell and he had a point. Damn thing always was red.
