Default Do u give other Z owners a thumbs up while driving?

I was driving around Rutgers Univ today and i saw a guy in a Black Z. Gave him a thumbs up and he acknowledged it =P


I am surprised i have been getting many thumbs up from people on the Turnpike and Garden State Parkway =) I sure will return the favor whenever I can. It feels really good.

I always do but rarely get any acknowledgement back. I don't know whats with most of the new Z owners out here? They seem to be pissed that you have the same car.

That was never the case with my privious Z's.

New 350Z drivers may not be familiar with the traditional Z-flash (flash the headlights). Its a common salute for all Z owners.

Thats because they're not true enthusiast. We need to spread the word!

Yep, always give the thumbs up. Receive some sort of acknowledgement back more than 50% of the time.

I wave at Z drivers all the time. 50% say hi back. It's so cool when they do. I tried on a couple G drivers. None of them have waved back, much less look my way.

I've noticed that 99% of G drivers out here dont wave back up here Funny I get more waves from ppl in Z's than my own "kind" (G)
