I see it ALL the time. I generally flash my headlights at an oncoming G35, coupe or sedan. No G35 has ever recognized me. They are usually coupes, so I figured that is why. You know, to coupe owners, sedans are not even worthy of having the G35 badge. I come from the old days when all us cool people would drive VW Beatles. The Beatle community ALWAYS recognized each other with a wave or a headlight flash. Those days are long gone!

 

hey man i feel ya. i alwys give a nod, or a thumbs up to a fellow g driver, most of the time i just get a dirty look back. i think its cause they time im just some punk teenager. which i am not. i get a thumbs up back sometimes when they are younger but if they are over 50 i found that its a lost cause.

 

I always give a "peace out" wave to other G owners - including the sedans

 

MrBillMartin,
It looks like you are in Long Island. What are you doing lurking around the South Forum? Not a problem, but doesn't seem quite right.

 

It's a houston thing! Look at our pathetic thread count! Beside the hand full of us that visit's the South forum, who else is going to acknowledge us.

 

Good point! Maybe we should invite other forum members to post over here as well. Why are we so pathetic? Is it me? Now I'm self concious
Not really!

 

at least there are Gs in Houston. I seem to be the only G owner that posts here from San Antonio. but hey, someone's gotta represent, right?

 

Always give the thumbs up or peace to all G's (including the truckers with 10 of them on a trailer!)

Oh, and we're lurking in the South cuz the front page of the Forums shows the most recent posts.. Kind of encourages some cross pollination.

Cheers, Ted

 

Up here in the DFDUB, I flash my lights or do a motorcycle wave (if I have my windows down) to all Zs and Gs and they normally respond back. At first, they were doin it to me and now I'm doin it.

 

I hear your guys! Yesterday I pulled up next to a g35 coupe on 59 south in sugarland and she never looked at me my once! SNOB! I don't see many coupes, but a few sedans, but most are older and don't give me a look. If you see me running around town (and can keep up ) give me a wave and I'll be sure to wave back!

 

I tend to see at least 1 or 2 coupes on my way to work everyday (down westheimer)

 

You have to realize that the G is a car that is bought by all age ranges.

So you will get the older crowd that thinks you are some punk flashing gang signs or something at them.
Middle age to the older yet younger crowd will be 50/50 on recongizing another G and even responding back. I guess it's the personality of the person, or even if they are male or female.
The younger crowd will usually return nods or give them when passing by.

I come from the mustang world, like Cato's bug world, that we all praised and gave a thumbs up to each other's cars. This is one thing I do miss, but then again, the mustang is a older heritage car, so it has a long history of fans. And the main reason i'm looking for another one.

I guess the G will need the fan fair that others cars get to have people acknowledge each other. Untill then..you'll see me giving a thumbs up as i pass you on the freeway....

 

trust me - its not a Houston thing...G drivers here in the philly burbs (snobby area) dont wave at me either...i usually flick my light and then wave...

i never get any response...

oh well...i still do it
