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

I've always gotten a sign of acknowledgements from fellow 370Z's on the road (and a few ZX's, too). However, the amount of 370Z's that I see in SD are pretty scarce, so in honor of the heritage, I'd occasionally wave or honk at nice 350's that would drive by.

Problem is, after driving the car for 3 months, I never received a response or an initiation of a greeting from the 350 crowd. Figured it was a fluke.

I finally got what I wanted - a sharp looking white 350Z gave a quick flash as the sun was setting when we passed on a residential road. I couldn't return it in time, since I wasn't expecting it. :p

Wife was in the car in front of me, and she commented on it when we got home.

"Why'd you get flashed?"

I told her it was a "hi".

"Nice 350 - great color. It looked different!" It had a tasteful body kit on it. Funny my better half can now recognize the diffs between the two - and they're both still Z's.

Kudos to the fellow Z owner who also appreciates the heritage!

I've had my Z for 9 months now and got my first wave from a 350Z on Friday.

I get nods, waves, thumbs up, from everyone except 350 drivers. The closest was a thumbs up from a 350Z passenger at a red light. The driver, however, wouldn't acknowledge my existence. Go figure!

Man I bet that moment has happened to everyone, hell I went :eek2: when it happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Somebody chalked it up to the tender age of the typical 350 owner.

I get stares sometimes from 350z owners, but never a wave or nod back.

I usually get a wave every now and again from a 350 owner.
Not too often tho..

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?

Most of the time when I wave at a 350 owner he gets confused. LOL

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

I never get waves. I wave to a lot of Z owners all the way from 240Z to 370Z and 90% of the time don't get a wave back.

When I had my 05 STi I got waves from almost every Impreza I saw.

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...

Next time be sure to do this...

Last week I had a very nice simultaneous "nice car" exchange with a silver 350 at a stop light. We're all brothers in the Z family, right?
