No prob
It's very easy to write and read things the wrong way
I think that would be fair. Even funnier when you go up and talk to another 350 owner, when they have no idea of the lineage, they purely drive a car they like.I think I get less than 50% of 350z drivers waving back at me. If they are on a forum they king of understand.
The majority either look away or stare back like I am mad.
The other models always qualify for a flash and a wave.
I don't think so much ignorance. Just not aware, if that is different. A lot people buy a car they like, and don't realise. If purchased from a dealer, they tend not to say anything either, pity as it tends to breed the passion, and once that happens that person might be back for another one at some stage.It's happened every time a new Z/ZX has come out - it's not being snobby - it's called ignorance !
Kids love Zeds don't they. So often get kids come running up to look at the car in a carpark, or even get out of a car at the gas station, or even better if we're in a convoy, kids will come running to the roadside madly waving.I was talking about all the school kids who stop and stare!
I'd still wave at them even if only to see them half wave then wonder who the burk is making silly signs at 'em !
That's the point though. Most aren't aware of the history. Being a 350 owner myself, and when I've gone up and talked to another 350 driver in a carpark or gas station, most are completely unaware of the lineage & others aren't aware and don't care.All true but the curious 350/370Z driver might look back in history..........and I'd still wave at them even if only to see them half wave then wonder who the burk is making silly signs at 'em !
........with a hatch and roof, hold on, Uncle Pat used to have a GT6 - is that what it is ?they would proberly wonder what the funny yellow car was,maybe a triumph spitfire ???
I always get a wave from fellow 350 owners round my way, there's not many but i know they're mostly forum members in some shape or form so i guess they too feel part of something. I've never had anything from a 370 driver unless it's been a Nismo.
Not seen any 240/260/280 round here but i'd wave, i'd wave my ass off.
Youngsters!
That post was 9 years ago, perhaps the ownership has changed to the sociable/enthusiast type.
Holy thread revival Batman!
Here we go, nothing to do with the age of the people behind the wheel!
I think its fair to say that the 350z and 370z are far more common cars given the good production and are still relatively modern. Bearing that in mind most owners won't even know the owners clubs exist of have an interest other than its just a fun car. They probably just find it strange to be waved at by a stranger, I always wave back and acknowledge JDM car owners whatever they're driving as I'm just interested. Only the enthusiasts will wave, its just the same when I'm out in my MR2.
Note the winky smiley at the end of my comment (hopefully) meaning it was mean't to be a joke!
