:shakes head:

:iagree:
then why buy a Z?

Because they like it? If that's your argument then why buy ANY vehicle? Why not walk or take public transportation :ugh2:

On my first post i wasn't trying to stir anything up. It was an observation from
me that at least in my experince in my area fellow z owners to be honest can
be arrogant.......... but i'm a big boy i can deal with it...........

but you would think when two z owners cross paths they would have something to comment on..........

i guess thats why i find this forum enjoyable everyones pretty cool about everything....... coming over from the 350 forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bottom line is everyone is not an "enthusiast" per say as some of us are on here, they just could care less. They liked the way the car looks etc and thats about it, they dont care about the waves, light flickering, history of the Z etc.....

dont worry bout it, 350's fugly newayz

:rolleyes:

I've run across a couple 350's and out of all of them two different women were the only ones to wave and smile! I look really young for being 26, (I could pass for 17 easily) so I'm sure alot of them think I'm some spoiled brat?! Before I had mine I talked with a couple 300zx owners, they were totally cool old dudes.

^Asian or Mexican?

You guys expect too much from the rest of mankind.

im a 19 year old Asian male that drives a pw z and when i pull up beside 350z's they look at me and pretend like they didnt see anything lol....

most waves i get are from the 300zx and some g35's. i saw 2 370z but they didnt bother to look over T_T

around long island where i go to school the 350z drievers are friendly and always want to run lol ive never came across a negative z owner

I hate to admit that I agree with this statement, but unfortunately I do. Car guy/enthusiast or not, one should respond politely to a compliment. Obviously, this doesn't happen all the time.

OP, I never thought your post was motivated by anything other than complete shock that you would not get a good response from another Z owner. You keep giving those compliments :tup:

I've received the same indifferent response from almost every 350z owner I cross paths with and a lot of 370z's I run up along with on the road. Older z model owners have a lot of questions about the 370 and seem to like to talk about the cars. Mostly other 350z owners refuse to look over, so I just stare at them as long as I can as I pass by. ha ha.

I would expect indifference from other drivers if we both were driving Maxima's or Altima's. When I'm driving my Astro van I don't wave at other Astro van drivers I see.
However most people buy a Z because it's a cool car, which means the owners have something more in common other than I need a car to drive.

i had a kid in a 79 280 pull up next to me and say i like your style. i had seen him in my rearview and was rolling my window down already so i said i liked his z, he said. "the rear end is kinda messed up so im going to play around with it.. wanna see?" i said ya and he laid down some tire.

I think the 350z crowd is the least friendly out of all the Z generations. Just my personal experience.
