Some Z guys don't respect other Z guys
 
I feel like I get more props from people in other modded whips than people in our Z's. People in the 240-280s, and z32's are cool, but more than half the time when another z33 or z34 roles up next to me, or roles by me going the opposite direction, I'll throw up a peace sign or heads up and they just straight up look and turn away with a straight face or not even look in my direction (run-on sentence much?). I think it's just.. wtf?
My boy that rides tells me bikers always acknowledge each other on the road and that cool. Too bad there isn't more Z guys like that.
<End Rant>

I'm with you man, there are not many Z's up here, and the z32, guys are decent, but the z33 guys are like... douchalicious... they look at me and my NISMO like im some elitist prick. and im the one who waves first.. lol

yea 350 guys seem pretty jealous or something.

i usually just skip the waving and flip them off..... ;)

In my area (Cleveland, OH), the Z's here seems to respect each other. A quick wave or peace sign and you get one in return.

I agree with the other cars as well. I get props from Evo's and Subbies all the time.

Good plan. Something about the 350 guys....

BTW, I get more nods, etc., in my 240 than my 370, by far.

Haha, I started a tread just like this about a year ago... I concur. :) I drive a Z32 and a Z34 Roadster and always throw my Z brothers and sisters a little love. More and more people are scooping up used Z33s that couldn't care less about Zdom/heritage. I am not for a minute saying that there aren't Z33 enthusiast because I know plenty. It's all good. I will continue to try to bring them to the light. :happydance:

There is another post that veered into this discussion..something along the lines of coming up with a signature Z owners wave. On there people complained about the same thing..no respect. I think age group has alot to do with it. I will get a wave from a middle aged guy in a Z..but the ones who are 19 and pay the $10,000 for the 350z with 100+k miles on it..tend to exhibit exquisite douche-baggary.

350 guys never nod back. Then again, a lot of 350 drivers tend to be middle aged women or Jersey Shore type individuals. Not all, but I've seen this a lot. For me anyways, 370 drivers usually wave back, flash their headlights, etc... I think its because there are far fewer 370 drivers and most who buy them are enthusiast. It's kind of like comparing this forum to the 350 forum. Just a slightly different demographic, but it makes a world of a difference.

unfortunatley the 350 demographic will begin to leak into the 370 demographic as the price of used 09's becomes more affordable to a larger group of people.

sucks.

b1adesofcha0s 07-20-2011 09:54 AM

I try to wave when I can, but every time I see one on the road, I can never seem to get up next to it. That it the Windows are tinted so damn dark I can't even see the other driver :rofl2:

That's the sign that I need to move on from the Z and get something better :icon17:

There is nothing worse than a Z driver who bought the car because it was "cute", "kicky" or "adorable".

Shoot me now.

I agree with you on the not many of us 370z owners being around. For myself I am probably the only owner in a 50 mile radius. I rarely see another 370z. Most 350's that are around I do the wave and or flash the headlights but only the ones I pass on the regular will do it back others just keep driving. Just a shame b/c well all I want to do is chat about the Z. I saw a guy who had a 350 and I decided to follow him since he was pulling into my sisters store, we get on a side road and he guns it, well its only a 45 and he turned into the parking lot anyway. So I pull up next to him it was in good shape had some nice rims on it and I said hey man nice car I really like your rims you have any engine work done? Response was a weird face and a huh? He went into my sister's store so I followed b/c I was going to talk to her anyway and we were the only ones in the store and my sister says what's up and I responded in a voice loud enough to hear me,"Apparently people can't take compliments anymore and just b/c they can stop on the gas they assume they are bad ***" Story get's worse but I don't want to jack the thread. Anyways yes I agree where is the love?:ughdance:
