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

NissanGuy23 · 09-28-2012, 08:22 AM

I was at a stoplight in town, the parking lot to my right had a red base 370 a few feet away and the women who owned it was getting in. I did a slight beep and gave a thumbs up - she just smiled slightly and went back to her business, im pretty sure she did not make the connection that i was waving because we both have the same car, i have a feeling she just figured i was a stranger waving for the hell of it lol.

This was right after a modded S4 went by and beeped at me full arm out the window giving a big thumbs up

I gesture to most 370Z owners (at least the ones that can see me) and usually get a response. But that's given that the Chicago community kind of knows each other more so than a random driver. Most female owners usually don't get it, excepting the owners here.

I was elated when a guy in a beautifully restored, orange 69 notchback took a good hard look, did this face:

then gave a thumbs up and smiled. I returned the favor.

I'll even do it to hotrods and muscle cars, with mixed results.. I think the older guys get confused that a "younger guy" driving a "import" appreciates classics.. I have gotten alot of compliments from the older crowd though too.. Many think its a Porsche LOL

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

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!

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.
