I do! I do! I throw up subtle dueces with my driver hand lol. It is usually reciprocated.

NissanGuy23 10-14-2012 11:30 PM

Finally ran into a blue 370 that i knew was around town, i sped up got behind him, then pulled up next to him side by side looked over and gave thumbs up for like 5 seconds. Zero response, blue 370 driver just kept looking forward. I pulled up past him (so he could see I'm in a 370) and his vision never strayed, he didn't notice me at all. I officially quit acknowledging Z owners! I had a accord drive go by my honking his horn and giving a big thumbs up out his window...wtf i get love from everyone except Z ppl!

Vichtz 10-14-2012 11:44 PM

NissanGuy23 10-15-2012 11:24 AM

^hahahahahahaha

I lied, today i passed a silver sport going the other way and he waved at me. yay.

SolidRed370Z 10-15-2012 11:28 AM

I went to Znationals and everyone that I waved at waved back. It was strange seeing all those z cars in one place. It was like a big z meet was happening or something lol.

I always try to wave at other drivers when I have the windows down. Otherwise I'll give a thumbs up at the light or passerby.

I always bump my high beams when passing another Z if I am in my car. You will normally get a response like a FLASH or wave back from either a long time Z owner, multiple generation Z owner or someone who has been in the community for a long time.

Yeah.. a high beam here where I live means you want to get shot.

For me two times. First, my GF thumbs up another 350z and he nodded back. Second was when this Z was looking to pull out while other Jenks won't let him. When it was my turn I yielded for him and he pulled out in front of me, blinked his emergency light twice and drove on. I'd like to assume he was saying thanks.

mishuko 12-18-2015 06:56 AM

i do the wave/nod/highbeam when i pass one

only 2 incidences i was hoping to get a wave back they didnt... and they were both girls. probably on a mission lol

FiftyFiv3 12-18-2015 07:55 AM

I always wave to my compadres

Array 12-18-2015 08:09 AM

I always wave at a Z owner no matter the year.

TheWeez 12-18-2015 09:06 AM

I do a thing called the mirror high five
If I see a Z in the opposite lane coming by me, I swerve into their lane and lightly tap the side view mirror as they go by.
One a$$hole didn't want to play my game and veered off the bridge (karma I guess)

last time i gave a sideways thumbs up to a 280z owner, he gave me the finger..
nismo owners also too good for me cause mine's just a base.

TerribleONE 12-18-2015 10:37 AM

For some reason I never see any other 370z when I am actually in my Z, only when I am driving my truck and when I wave they look at me like I am retarded. :confused:

VVEL is overpriced for what it is

lj909 12-18-2015 12:06 PM

I give a high beam bump if i see a modded Z. I usually get it back. I don't wave at stock looking Z's cuz they usually don't care. Once i tried to compliment an old guy in a beautiful 240Z and he just looked at me like i was a deuce! Whatever.

When I was last out cleaning and waxing my car an older guy (60+) was out for a walk and stopped by and talked about the 280Z he had when he was younger.

Ommateal 12-18-2015 01:32 PM

I deff give honks, thumbs, high fives, lights, whatever to any Z owner. Sadly i'm like the only 370z in my area lol. See some 350's from time to time, and they always seem to wave back or honk, and a stock looking 240z the other day honked with me!

In Japan, emergency flasher light is thank you or allowing you to go ahead. In Hawaii, I'll give the shaka sign to any Z, if they're looking.

I definitely get more waves from 350 owners than other 370 owners here. Most of the 370z owners I have run into are much older and cant be bothered to wave.

vtec to vvel 12-22-2015 09:59 PM

i used to get so much attention when i had my 07 350Z - car washes, grocery parking lots, gas stations, pizza take-out, etc. i've even got a few chicks that would leave their number on the windshield. but with my 09 370Z, all i get is ricers that always rev their sh*t.

Mishuko you should have wave your wallet then you get their attention. :tup:

Swindler 12-23-2015 05:39 AM

I am always the one to wave first but i do get waves back every once in a while, I really don't see too many other 370s though so it's kinda hard

In the 7 years I had this car not once did I pass by a WRX and they wouldn't acknowledge me. Many times I would be driving and hear a beep and as I would look at my rearview mirrors sure enough it was a WRX driver that had passed me and would be sticking their hand out the window waving.

My question is, why don't 370Z drivers do the same? I understand that this car is not as rare as the WRX (at least in Miami) but you don't see them that often either. Is there a reason for this? I also have a sportbike and people wave at me all of the time regardless of what motorcycle they're riding.

Just wondering why not with the 370Z?

Dude! I have been wondering the same thing...most of the time it's some old guy/woman driving it and they are completely oblivious to ANYTHING around them in the first place. But I can spot a Z from a mile away and I hope those who appreciate their Z do the same thing....we're not in a Toyota Camry here. That's one thing I always thought was cool with bikers, they all wave at each other... Don't think Harley guys wave at street bikes though and vice versa.....ego's...ppfff lol

I was gonna say.. I don't rev my engine lol... When ricers rev their engine at me I roll my window down and yell at them that their exhaust sounds like Chewbacca taking a $hit. :tup:

Then as I disappear into the distance in way in front of them.. thennn they get to hear my exhaust. lol :yum: :owned:

I gave a thumbs up to an F-Type driver cause I have the biggest hard on for those cars. The guy looks at me, then looks forward.:shakes head:

littlejuanito 12-24-2015 12:06 PM

I always cross paths with this Black 370z on my way to and from work in Burbank, CA down on Vanowen St and/or Victory Blvd and give each other a thumbs up. I wonder if that person is a member here ? By the way, if you are a member of this comuunity, I'm the guy with the Magma Red lol
