Unfortunately, you also have to realize that the majority of 370z owners are not enthusiasts but just bought the car because it looks cool and is quick. These people are not going to expect enthusiasts like you or I because they are not interested in the social aspects of owning a Z unfortunately.

I always try to wave at any 370z I see but I rarely see them on the road in my area.

+1. Also unless you're a cute girl driving a z I probably wont wave either.

Here in Kansas City, we have two Z clubs with members from all generations of Zs and it seems every Z I see waves back at me except when on the other lanes of the interstates with those damn concrete blocks dividing the highway it is hard to see them.

Oh, so THAT'S why you snubbed me!

A couple weeks ago I walked out to the Z, parked far away from the crowd. The only car next to me was a red 280Z. I think my Z is pregnant now.

Does anyone want to adopt a 325Z?

That's illegal, that 280 should not be messing with little girls.

I think that some people just get the car because they saw it, liked it and bought it. They don't know nor care about the history of the Z car like we enthusiasts do. That's why they are like when we wave. I got a thumbs up about two days ago and I went

Haha that's true.

When I compliment someone about his or her car, I usually get one of three things:
1. Get ignored.
2. They want to race me so they speed off.
3. They say thanks.
