When driving my dad's Vette, it was common for other Vette drivers to wave as we passed each other on the road.

Do Z owners do this?

 

There was some discussion to what the Z owners should do. Some of it was pretty funny, but I don't know if we ever decided on a final "thing."

I think the thread was something like "The Z Salute." But I can't remember for sure.

 

YES. Whenever two Zs pass each other, they immediately stop in the lane they are driving in. Get out, run around both cars 3 times, bow, shake hands three times, spin each other around two times, yell at the top of their voices BOOGA...BOOGA...Z FOR ME and then get back in their cars and drive away. Wadafuc?

 

Ummmmmhhh. uuhhhhhh No.

A thumbs up will do.

 

I usually give a quick flash of the brights.. And I get one back..

id settle for simply seeing a Z 350 that is outside of a meet or dealer .

cause i havent seen one as of yet on the road

 

Yeah, that Dallas crew is pretty strange. But we're a fun little bunch.

 

To this day, other than my car, I have NEVER seen another 350Z in person. I'm just itching to give the "Z salute" to somebody.....ANYBODY!

 

I think the thumbs up is a Z favorite. I actually do a very short honk if Im rolling past along with the thumbs up.

 

The norm at TT.net is flashing the brights... however some jerk might be around, follow you home and kill you for making him blink to often.

 

LOL....I think a simple thumbs up will do...but I wouldnt mind do the BOOGA dance tho.

 

Hell I give most cars thumbs up if they meet my criterea
1) Rare car (Not many cars in my area...so this applies to Z06s, 350Zs of course, Exotics, etc)
2) Very nice car..and I think it looks sweet
3) Just ran the car and it was damn impressive...

Thats just the basics..but I love to give the thumbs up...

 

It's the 3 finger salute, guys! Like a peace sign, only you add a third finger in there. It symbolizes the fact that this is the third generation of Zs. Quick, simple, and effective.

 

OF COURSE!!!!

It's a sign of mutual respect for each others good taste!!!

If you guys didn't know, VW owners do this, no matter what model they have. Now there's a sense of community! It's awesome!

If you don't, you're a jerk, and a snob!

 

the only guys running around a car three times and shouting something are car thieves with NYC's finest in hot pursuit!!!
I like the thumbs up!!
Thanks again for the Fonz Tom.

 

I am still driving my Honda and just give a honk and a quick thumbs up

btw, the wave is/was common with 911 drivers as well (my dad always had 1 or 2 growing up and remember that well)

 

don't flash the highbeams... isn't that bad for the HID lights?

 

I don't think its bad for them..however its bad for you cuz it gives a cop perfect opportunity to pull you over. Seen many friends have this happen.

 

The manual specifically states turning the xenons on and off quickly is bad for them. However, I don't think the high-beams are xenons.. so flashing high beams shouldn't be bad.
