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

littlejuanito

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

Airwalk

On my way to work about 3 times a week I see a Silver Nismo. I have a red Nismo I waved at him a couple of times but no response. Then one day I was filling up and the guy in the silver Nismo pulled on the other side of me then came over and said" that's a nice ride I love it in red, I wanted red but couldn't find one If I see you around ill honk" LOL

I know there is a couple around here but never see them. Now I am going to see if I can catch Rusty on the street to see if he waves lol! Just found out he works right around the corner from my house. Haven't seen his Z running around yet but we are planning on meeting up 1 day.

I used to own a Wrangler Rubicon and about 90% of other Wrangler drivers did the Jeep wave. Researching this phenomenon for the Jeep Wrangler culture goes all the way back to WWII. When Jeep drivers would pass each other out in the field and wave at each other going from the battlefield or returning to camp, it had not so much to do with Jeeps as just the acknowledgement of seeing your fellow brothers in arms. After WWII ended and all those service men and women returned many purchased used military Jeeps and continued the Jeep wave.

Now as far as the Z goes I give all of the ones I see a head nod and return waves when I see them wave at me. When I come across 240Z Datsuns in good shape however I just openly gawk.

i rarely see a 370 but I usually wave, not like an idiot but a casual wave. def more wrx's here in the northeast. luckily mustang driver's don't wave. there's so many of them that aliens would think we're all idiots on this planet!

I find it funny though that this is a thing as it's a thing with Motorcycles also. I ride all kinds of motorcycles. Current is a Sportster 1200 Custom and some of those guys won't wave at anything not a Harley or the Rocket crowd does the same thing to. I don't understand the appeal of spending $10+K on an actual scooter when you can get a nice real motorcycle for that or less. I guess whatever floats your boat.

I've owned Harley's & sport bikes, I always wave to fellow bikers, regardless of the style or brand of bike.

I don't extend the same courtesy to mopeds or scooters, sorry.

I rode bikes (Hondas, Harleys, Yamis) for 40 years and always waved to fellow riders no matter what the brand. It was a sign of respect.

Well....now I wave to other Zs. No, not because I'm that friendly, but more now just because it clears my conscious.... Yup, and I probably shouldn't admit to this, but as we're all friends and as nobody on here really judges... .... LOL

You see I have me one of them dreaded Prius' as my daily driver for the 80 miles each way that I have to commute to work, and I can say that I have noticed that all of them Prius drivers give a little wave to each other each time... Usually the left hand out the window kinda hanging down a little... And then 2 or 3 soft little shakes up and down.

As I try not to get involved in all that kind of commraderie, I always quickly divert my eyes by looking the other way. Yup, whenever I see that wave I drive it straight home and park that damned car way out behind the house.

So... when I am rolling in the Z..... it makes me feel whole again...

Thanks Nissan

alangoooo

random people also give me the thumbs up and wave when I'm at a light and stuff, someone even asked what kind of car it was and I said it was an electric car, I think they believed me.

Funny thing.... Last week I'm turning left and I see my cars twin coming at me from the other direction. It's gotta be rare to have two MB 15/16 Nismo's in the same place around here I flick high beams and a wave and the guy just drives on by. No nod, no nothing. Get up the road a few miles and stop at a light, GTR pulls up. Window rolls down and he tells me how good the exhaust sounded coming down the road. That's how it's done.

it's funny I get respect from the GTR owners most of the time. I think of it as the spoiled bigger strong faster less cool looking brother.
