A wave, nod or flash of the lights is always in order. Camaraderie(Sp?) is key.

That is exactly what I try to do . Wave or honk at all sports car drivers. Very few people actually wave back. : (

I always wave; it might be a potentially new member of the club.

I also flash my headlights everytime I see another Z drive by. Thats the thing with us Nissan guys. We have respect for eachother and we dont try to race eachother either. Everytime I was at a meet where people had Nissans, they always had the cleanest looking Non Ricy cars and showed respect for eachother. Now the Honda guys.........there a whole other story. I had an integra before and It was more about wanting to battle eachother then actually showing eachother love.

Thats why I stick with Nissan. PURE LOVE MAN!

I usually have my windows down, but when I see a z I get next to it and roll my windows up.

Limo Tint FTW!

Heh, that's what its like near me too. Most of the girls are overly obvious about acting like they don't see you, but I must admit... the few that do look usually eye-hump the **** out of me.

Yes, quit flashing your lights for the wrong reason! Flashing your lights at an oncoming vehicle is a warning that they are rolling into a speed trap.

I still do it and occasionally people do it to me. Many years ago I even knew a guy who got an 'improper use of signal' ticket for doing it.

I guess if the un-official courtesies of driving aren't integrated into playstation games America's youth will never know about them.

Around here theres a few, most of them will flash their lights at you and give you a wave, except one kid so far... idk if he just saw me too late or what, but Z owners up seem pretty into the acknowledgment

I got flashed by another Z on a one lane road and of course I flashed him back. It is surprising because the last time I got flashed was when it was new almost 4 years ago. I must drive on one lane road more often because I never do.

I wave to and get waved at by most Z's in my area. I feel like a dick when I notice someone too late though.
