A hater... yes,
an idiot...yup,
Small *****....probably

I just dont get it man, your Z is only a tad faster than a G, and besides, look at the Skyline lineage (sic).... what came first again kiddo?

Whenever I see another 350Z owner, they always return the favor.
It's as if we're a family.

It's hard to tell who are the true enthusiasts and who are the haterz. Especially if their windows are tinted. So do you beat them off the light or do you keep it cool and give thumbs up? Hard call. I'm just saying that because I've ran across that situation. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are a lot of cool
G35 owners. I guess the thumbs up test would have to suffice. He gives thumbs up back, it's all good. If he doesn't, it butt whoopin time. LOL

Thumbs up

I never used to give a thumbs up, but, I do now! I seldom see 350Zs here in MI but I passed a silver one in the opposite direction on a 30mph road the other day..flashed the thumbs up with a smile and got one back (even though I'm in my beater 96 Sebring).

My Z arrives sometime in the next week!!!

hey no need to attack my ***** man. besides they are only small when the wind chill factor outside is below 40. anyways i'm not talking about the speed of the cars. What I am talking about is the look of the cars. To me i think the Z looks much better than the G35. If both cars were the same price and I had a choice i would choose the Z each and every time! Period.

I'll do a four finger hand wave with the left hand on the steering wheel.

There are lots of Z's here ... some of them 35 years old and still going strong.

you are completely right. for that i apologize if i have offended anyone. i dont think i'm superior to others but when it comes to cars and the fact that their car is expensiver, i do feel a little more superior. lol

Just got my Z, UK 05, GT with satnav! Don't see many Z's here, but whilst i was on the motorway, i got caught in a traffic jam and a azure blue Z pulled up on my right.

Gave him the obligatory big grin and thumbs up and he returned it with an even bigger grin. It's good to be part of the family!

I used to. Most people around here just look at me like idiots and drive off. I only usually do so now if they initiate in some way.

Yeah, I think I'm quitting too. Not completely, but I'm not waving at 300s or 350s anymore. At first I just wasn't waving at red 350s, because it's the same two people I see driving them here every time, and they never wave. But, after yesterday I quit waving at all newer Zs. A guy in a black 350 looked at me like I was crazy, and a little asian kind in an '06 PPW looked like I was going to try to kill him or something.

So for now, unless I'm acknowledged first, I'll only wave at 240s, 260s and 280s. Those guys seem excited when a 350 waves at them.

First Day I bought the Z I was driving back from Bloomsburg, PA and I spotted a Z coming in the opposite direction on Street Road in Warrington, PA. Sooooo after reading this thread I tossed up the left hand to say hi. Well this azz just snearned at me. Did I do something wrong? Maybe I will try the Z elbow next.
