Default Wave or Flash Your Lights at Other Z's

This may be old news, but I always flash my lights or wave when I see another Z. It just seems like we're all part of a family and we should recognize one another. Just my 2 cents...Mike

Yeah- I agree. Then again sometimes it's oldsters or some dork with a Z and they don't notice. I guess they just don't get it...Mike

Some people respond back. In the beginning of 350z Love fest the craze was to use your hazards as a hello. Now I just show my palm just over the steering wheel. Usually works, even with older Gen's.

I am amazed of how many Z owners dont care at all. I always look and give a thumbs up to other Z guys but they NEVER acknowledge me. And Ive seen ALOT of Zs here in southern cali.

Surprisingly even the modded Z guys dont care.

Car's way too common and way too accessible. The "waving stage boat" for the 350 has pretty much sailed. Bright side is, the 370 is arriving soon, good for a few years of "sharing the love"

I've tried to wave a few times, but most of the z owners I see are fairly older generation who won't acknowledge me. They probably think im some rich kid who daddy/mommy bought the car for.
