Do Z owners think they're cool?

Chuck33079

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.

Fantastic Z

THIS^

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?

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.

well, yah, the proper trim a true enthusiast would get is the base with sport package, illuminated sills and splash guards... oh and wheel locks and trunk floor carpeting. dont forget the trunk floor carpeting.

touring. sheesh...

If I'm on the freeway, I'm not there to make friends or be distracted while driving. I'm usually in my own world, listening to music and concentrating on the road in front of me. 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.

Giving someone a thumbs up is completely different than trying to become friends with someone with the same jacket. It's like a complement

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.

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

but we have the same hot type car and everybody that doesn't have this same type hot car is tired of talking to me about mine.

I like to think I'm pretty dang cool!

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!

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!!!

Old but funny video I enjoy when people talk about Z owner being douchebags and what not.

I wish I was that cool...

I could give the guy some props for being a troll. Why he would make a video like that though I don't get. I could think of better ways to show my sense of humor then that (if i had a sense of humor anyways...

The only Zs I've run into lately either had seriously dark tint, so I couldn't see them if they had waved, or weren't paying attention to me anyways. I'm always fine with giving a wave, nod or thumbs up, but I generally wait until the other guy does it first. That's just the way I am.
