Re: Do you greet other G Drivers?

Here in LA you have to first honk then flip 'em off to get their attention! j/k

Yeah I do.. when I'm on the freeway I'll beep at other G35 drivers and smile or wave or whatever. Sometimes people just don't get it though.

Re: Do you greet other G Drivers?

Its kinda like the Jeep Wrangler thing...those of you who ever ridden in one should know. Its kinda like common Courtesy to wave in a Jeep to a fellow Jeeper.

Re: Do you greet other G Drivers?

and then when you race people that have other cars and the light turns red, they dont even look over!! wtf??

Re: Do you greet other G Drivers?

Yeah, I always look over, give a nod or thumbs up, then I think to myself - "I wonder if this guy/girl is a member of g35driver..."

I've seen several cars in south OC and especially in Irvine (I work in Irvine, live in Ladera)... and I can almost bet that many of those drivers post on this forum....

we need a special signal or something (like a batsignal, but not really.... heheh)

I always have WRX's trying to race me on the 5/405 interchange near the Spectrum.... I rarely entertain them, but once in a while I'll feel "the urge", downshift, and go from 70 to 100 in the blink of an eye....

Fun, fun... such a RUSH

Re: Do you greet other G Drivers?

I try too.. usually look in their direction, but almost 90% of the time they look straight and not wave back. It's not the same anymore. When G35s were rare, everyone would wave at each other. Now there are so many of them, it's almost pointless to wave hi.

Re: Do you greet other G Drivers?

Re: Do you greet other G Drivers?

90% of them did not look at me.
6% can not see me and i can not see them because of our tinted windows.
3% we pass by eachother so fast.we didn't have chance to wave.
the remain 1% i waved and none wave back so i don't wave anymore.
for those who will bump into me,i'll do it in advance WAVE,WAVE,THUMB UP

Re: Do you greet other G Drivers?

I live in LA and drive to Irvine for work every weekday.

I hit the 101, 5, 605 and the 405. Tour de LA/OC.

Anyway, i see a few. I always look over. I see a Marcy Darcy lookin woman. I see a DG coupe and a white coupe almost daily on the same route.

I look, even match speeds to see if they'll look over. Nothing.

For any of you others that like to say sup, i'm in the DG with changed SKYLINE & 350GT emblems and clear corners.

Re: Do you greet other G Drivers?

Yeah, if anyone is in the Irvine area (or south toward Mission Viejo) and you see an IP Coupe with Skyline badging and an Ings+1 Body Kit w/ Top Secret Front Bumper... that's me... give me a "thumbs up" or something....

See you on the streets....
