Yeah, I saw a few Z's this weekend....one guy my age and the rest were older ladies....haha
It's funny because when I bought my car my mother in law was jealous, she really wanted one too.
So did my mom....
Well, my dad wanted one before me but he was always into the Z's. He had an old datsun growing up and followed the Z's.
He about crapped his pants when I showed up at his house with it the first day and let him drive it.

What I have noticed is with other Z owners instead of waving they try and race me. Im just shocked and awed. I mean be serious. They dont see the freaking FMIC up front. DUH! Same goes for G35 owners here in town. They are even worse. WHERE IS THE LOVE?

i don't really wave to Z drivers any more since there are so many in my area. I only wave to other Z drivers who are heavily modded.
There is this other guy in my area that is pushing 900+HP. i always wave to him since we're both at the freeway on ramp around the same time in the morning.

Here in Socal Gs and Zs are everywhere, I waved and gave thumb ups to every Z I see. The only thing i observed is that only moded Z owners waved back and many stock Z owners who waved back are mostly over 30s, not many teenagers react to me.

BTW.. I usually get waves back from other Z drivers... except this one older dude who lives in my neighborhood -- he drives a roadster so he's too cool to wave I guess.

I just saw my optometrist today... he drives an 03' black Z. Kinda cool... First I asked if that was his Z, congratulated him, then we both said we looked familiar. Small world huh.

I work near Woodinville and I see a Z maybe once a week or so. Now if I drive around Bellevue I see a few.
I have seen a lot of 300Z's lately. Those things are pretty sweet. I passed one the other day and gave him the nod.

hmm.. usually when you're on the road at night.. they're already warmed up?
I also thought that the xenon lights do not get brighter. They just expand the illuminosity (light shield that moves up and down). If you turn on your brights at night they dont get brighter, you just have the same illuminosity but covering more surface area, not sure if it will decrease the lights life expectancy, but it won't hurt to wink at a few.
