Nissan 370Z Forum  

Do any 370Z drivers "wave" at each other?

I thought they were supposed to tell you that there is a z greeting when you bought the car. http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...-greeting.html

Here in Memphis there's a fairly large Z crowd, many of them enthusiasts of some level. Most around here will flash or wave, and surprisingly I get a lot of respect from the Corvette crowd.

The Hondas of course love to rev, and yesterday I had a guy in an Acura 2.5 ride my rear and slam against his rev limiter as he paced me. I'm not sure what he was doing, lol.

Mustangs of course feel the need to prove themselves, but I've had very few Camaros feel the need to "flex".

Something about those Ford guys, lol

The 370z is very rare where I'm at, I see a lot of 350z though, but when I see a 370z on the road, I give a thumbs up or a wave.

I do not wave at other Z owners I do the head nod or the peace sign. I usually get a peace sign or thumbs up.

I'm too good to wave, thumbs up, flash, or peace sign at others, or show my enthusiasm to the the Z culture. I'm just way too busy looking at myself in the rear view mirror. When I see another person driving a 370Z I sneer at them as if they don't belong in that car, or I just ignore them completely as if they don't exist. But I'll suck the skin off that mans taint if he drives his GTR near me.

This is what I notice from all but one 370Z owner here in Kitsap county, WHAT UP 370ZJAMES!
