OP, must be bad luck, the few that I've met in person have been very friendly and approachable. If you saw them on the road driving, don't take it negatively as they may have been focusing on driving or their minds were preoccupied on something else.
I've encountered a handful of Z owners, that yeah are the nicest/most modest people out there (usually meet them at car shows) I'm just talking about these few people that act like I offended them

Yea I was just saying how I am on the freeway. Im in no way "too cool for you", heck i dont even rev. On the streets one dude hunted me down(zig zagging through traffic) just to wave to me and I nodded. Another person on opposing traffic just stopped in the road to stare at me (maybe he was looking for a wave or just mad dogging me). Luckily it wasnt the main street and no one rear ended him. I didn't acknowledge and passed him. If all drove recklessly or stopped traffic for no reason, I would rather just not participate for the sake of people around them. In Los Angeles, there's plenty of Z's and ZX's. Can't see myself having to acknowledge them all.

I don't think I'm cool........I know I'm cool :cool:

I like to think I'm pretty dang cool! :p

Nah I wave at 370s, 350s, 300s, etc. I've had a few people give me the WTF stare but I've also had many many waves. I think every model of a car has their own set of d-bags. It is what it is!

Probably wouldnt hear a beep, or notice someone stalking me on the side. Usually I won't notice u unless u pass me. Also, I kinda feel weird waving at a stranger just because we have the same car. If I was walking in a mall and see someone with the same jacket, I'm not gonna wave and try to be his buddy.

Well you should be able to hear a horn, what if I was honking at you to let you know your dress was hanging out the door?

Also perhaps not the same shirt, but what if you are a sport fan and you saw someone wearing the same team apparel as you? To me it is kind of like that.

I wave when I can. I don't always get a wave back or acknowledgement, but when I do I :happydance:

Its in the manual, at least on the 2013 Z, "The obligatory ""wus up man"" man nod/wave is no longer obligatory" Pg 36, paragraph 3. As*holes unite!!!

:iagree:

However, nine times out of ten, I can't tell if someone is waving/thumbs upping me when driving by - the tint is so dark on their car + my tint... I can't see.

I'll wave most of the time to other Z people, but I'm not obligated to nor do I expect them to acknowledge. Sounds like the OP thinks he's better than the others, expecting reciprocation from other Z drivers.

Some people like to pay attention to the road... :stirthepot:

It'd be funny if an admin posted that.

Come to Texas, people are a little more nice. I always get a wave back from fellow owners.

At the gym I got to there's a 350z wannabe hellaflush stance crap with the wheels sticking out.

I thought you said you were leaving?

Back on topic, I'll wave at a stock or tastefully modded Z of any vintage. If you're rocking the hellaflush look, I'll pretend I didn't see you.

THIS^ :shakes head:

Most Z owners I've come across (regardless of gen) have been d-bags. LITERALLY less than a handful I have met have shown good comradery. TWO different Z owners I came across here in the Nashville area (one even in our TN G/Z FB group) actually gave me a hard time about owning a touring model and not a "sport model".
Seriously!? Judging a fellow enthusiast about his or her trim level? :wtf:

I LOVE the amount of information on this forum and the knowledge of it's members but, DAMN I have REALLY been disappointed in the community. I had a friend of mine put it this way. "Think of Z owners like BMW owners. React and respond as such" He is a former Z owner and now drives a BMW X5 lol

Just my POV and I'll side with the OP.

Are you all sure you just don't live in areas with high concentrations of d-bags?
