So I've only had my G35 for a little over a month and I must say, I love it more and more everyday. It wasn't my first choice since I knew nothing about Nissans but after my husband convinced me to test drive it, I was sold. And by browsing through the forums, I can tell we all love our cars. My question is, when you see a fellow G35 driver on the road ... do you feel a connection? Do you look at the other driver, smile or maybe wave?

I'm asking because my husband drives a Discovery and it never fails, everytime we see another Land Rover driver they all wave and smile. And I've grown to like that. It doesn't matter which model, they all acknowledge each other.

 

you will find that most g owners are ******. sorry, its just how they are. believe me, i tried a couple times haha

 

That's too bad! I guess when I'm in the LA area and someone waves back, it'll probably be you! LOL

 

Could it also be that you live in Los Angeles? Should we be surprised?


I do feel some "connection" when there is a fellow G35 on the road. However, as time goes on and more people start to drive G35 that will certainly die down. It's happened to me before.

 

Actually I haven't driven the car around Los Angeles yet. I'm in Arizona most of the time for work.

 

Yeah I was a VW owner prior to my G and I just don't see the same level of love these days

Instead of flashing the lights and waving I might just give a fellow G driver a friendly "I won't make an *** out of myself when this person ends up being a dick to me" nod.

PLUR!

 

Maybe I'll just keep smiling and hope that it'll just catch on.

 

Hey, glad you're enjoying that G!

I definitely feel some connection when I see other G's. I always find myself staring at them even though I'm in one myself! When I first got my G, this lady with a G parked across from me at a grocery store and we talked about our color choices, experiences, etc. It was pretty cool.

On the road, I haven't given the old "thumbs up" or wave yet assuming I'll get the cold shoulder, but I think I'll give it a try next time I'm out and about.

Never hurts to smile!

 

The first month of ownership I tried the flashing and waving...........everything looked at me like I was crazy.

I only flash/wave to a fellow G owner if I see clear corners or some other aftermarket part. It's the only way I can tell they do more than just drive their car.

 

I think the coupe owners snub us

 

The two post above is true. To be honest, I feel more connected to Z's unless the sedans are fixed up.

It's better if a woman or an older person initiate the great.

 

I owned a Lincoln LS prior to this car and found that most owners were approachable in the parking lots or return a waive.

The G owners esp the coupes not so approachable.

Honestly the Sedan and the coupe should have been give disparate desiginations.

 

Exactly. There are a lot of owners out there that are not enthusiasts. Those will prob not know why you're reaching out to them...or that you too are driving a G for god's sake.

On a similar note... I've owned two Wranglers: 92 and 02. When I had my slightly moded 92, everyone did the "Jeep Wave". When I picked up the 02 w/ no mods what so ever, I was snubbed every time.

 

katie, I feel a naughty connection to female g35 drivers. shh don't tell ur husband

 

j/k.

I always try to say hi to fellow G drivers, but most don't even notice that there is another G next to them, and that it is modded and ****s on theirs
