Haha...it's about 70/30 here.
70% know what we both have and acknowledge one another, while the other 30% have no idea really what they have, appreciate or think their $hit doesn't stink like ppl in Bimmers or MB's. lol.
I don't go out of my way to acknowledge OP in their G's, but if the timing works out, I'll look and if they're looking too, I'll nod and give a peace sign or thumbs up and they do too in return. If they don't look, I don't bother.
Oh...and btw I'm a old gear head fart too...47.

I never wave at anyone, it's embarrasing when you wave someone and get nothing in return, people think you are a crazy dude, waving strangers here and there.
I wait til someone else wave, then I wave back. it's the pride thing.

I've only had mine for 3.5 weeks now and have acknowledged 4 other G Coupes. My "connect" ratio is 25% so far.
First one was a female about 40 (my age) at a traffic light is a OB Coupe. She looked at me like maybe I was trying to hit on her and turned back to look straight and did NOT look back.
2nd one was a guy about 25 or 30. He waived back and gave a big smile and a honk...His was LR.
3rd one was a guy about my age in a suit (like me). He gave me a dirty look like he thought I was hitting on him or something (ughhh). His was DG.
4th was a guy about 20 in a modded OB Coupe. He looked at me like as if to say "So what?" as he looked over my car (and me) and realized it was stock (and that I was no doubt a "geezer" - to him at least).
I came from a "Bimmer" and the first couple of times after I got it I waived and got dirty looks every time... Before that I had a 3000GT VR4 and always got waives when I would come across another...
I don't care...

That's why I only give a nod, thumbs up or peace sign.
By waving, imo, you give the impression...HEY..HI..HOW YA DOING!!!
Most ppl might think WTF is up with this guy, I don't know him. :scowl:

Only a certain percentage of G owners are true enthusiasts. Im sure some G owners out there down even know the HP rating of the G.
I only get waves and thumbs up from G35' enthusiasts, but there are also many common G owners who dont give a crap about cars.

I live out in StL and there are tons of Gs running around on the road. I live in a loft and there are 4 other Gs in the garage w/ me. I've never actually seen anyone driving there cars, so i've never acknowledged them. As for the roads, I think people actually avoid looking at other G's. Strange....
