I was driving around Rutgers today as well but not in my Z. didn't want to get her dirty.

I always acknowledge Z owners. Even G-35's wave

Heck, today a Mercedez Benz driver waved at me

He had a very shinny black Benz. My Z is a very shinny black Z too

I'm such a tool....Just yesterday I flashed an oncoming Z and he flashed me back! I thought that it was the coolest thing

I just started the whole flashing thing! 1 for 1, hope to keep it up!

I always wave but they either just stare or flip me off. I tried to wave to a G last Friday and he just shook his head and sped off. The only Z driver that waves back is my brother whenever he has his Z out.

I wonder if my fellow Civic drivers would wave back (probably just shoot at me)? I would have to drive to work with my hand up though (so many on the road).

I just says what sup, and they alway smile back. Don't really care much about G35, the Z is faster...anyway it about the same price (don't get it why some of the drivers are stuck up).

It was somewhat of a joke as my beater car is a Civic.

I tried to wave but most of the time the drivers I ran into don't acknowledge my gesture.

My fiance drives an STI and those guys are pretty consistent acknowledging their fellow STI drivers. I get a lot of waves whenever I drive his car.

I've noticed (having been a suby guy myself) that the Suby drivers tend to have more respect for other suby's than Z/G owners do with others....

I agree with you 100%! My fiance and I turned it into competition how many waves he get driving his STI vs how many waves I get driving my Z.

Result: I lost! Go figure!

i did for about the first week...southern california is way too dense w/Z's (resulting in a lot of "non enthusiast" owners) to get the proper acknowledgement. once in a great while (twice since nov 05) i'll come accross an enthusiast who will wave. oh well no sweat off my sack lol

If your not an enthusiast, no Z. They should have certain regulations at the dealerships before buying.

you know whats funny, whenever i see a g35 owner driving around i usually look over and have a smirk on my face b/c to me their car looks like a generic version of the 350z. I do feel pretty bad for those suckers especially when i fly by them and i have that, "my ride is better than yours" look on my face. i know, i know, i'm a hater but hey at least i have the ***** to admit it.
