Are all G coupe owners Douchey A-holes?
Hang with me a second, I'm not trolling. I own a black coupe myself.
After reading a lot of threads here, and seeing quite a few coupes where I live, I'm beginning to wonder if the stereotypes about us are correct.
Among other communities such as Vette, Audi S, even Jeep, they all wave and smile at each other... I've owned the car for a year and a half and have yet to have another G acknowledge my wave or flash of headlights. I've been sitting at stop lights next to another coupe while the driver stares ahead...
Not to mention nearly every one I see is doing the gangster lean with his hand draped over the steering wheel...
That brings me to this community which seems to be filled with kids who had the car purchased for them that have no concept of the difference between breaks and brakes... And the overall atmosphere...
Not trying to bait but has anyone else had a different or similar experience? It certainly leaves me a bit cold toward the brand and it's community, at least here in the NOVA area.

Yea, I know what you're saying man. Even around the rest of VA, I have driven past plenty of Gs that don't acknowledge waves. They usually look away if a 37 or rev their engine is a 35. It is pretty funny though sometimes...

Hah, you guys are right... I forgot that I've been passed or revved at by a few 35's... It's a shame bc there are certain aspects about their cars that I like more than mine!!
I just like to feel a sense of community and it seems really lacking with G owners. My gf thinks I'm nuts btw. Lol "why are you waving at other cars?!"

Not to argue with you but here in Calgary Infiniti is more common than Honda. I work downtown and see litteraly dozens of all types, FX, Gs, sedans, etc. Demographicaly, every age from 20 to 60+, every ethnic persuation, males or females. If I waved at all these cars my arm would fall off + I feel zero kinship to these people. Just another luxury vehicle in Boomtown.

I dont know if you have gotten a chance to use the search tool, but alot of people on this forum/ community you speak of have posted amazing reveiws/DIY/and other information that is very helpful to other G owners like myself. I dont go out of my way to make myself nocited by other G owners but I have had a couple of G owners in my area come up to me at a gas station or whever im at and comment on my car. Just because people with vettes-jeeps or whatever do it doesnt me us G owners have to either. I hope you find this forum/community helpful because I sure have!

You don't ever see Liberty, Compass, Grand Cherokee and Patriot owners going out of their way to wave at eachother.
Volkswagon and porsche (in my opinion) are the only car brands that you will see lights flash or waves among MOST versions of their cars..
As said before, here in NY infiniti's are extremely common, it would be a little silly to be waving and flashing your lights all the time..
A "modded" infiniti however i will without a doubt flash my lights at.. reason being is it is slightly different then average.

@dmf I'm not bashing this forum. Just saying that there are about half really good posts and half poorly written posts from kids asking if they can put regular gas in the car... It's a strange mix.

Infiniti's are a little more rare where I live, and I've attempted to get the attention of multiple coupe owners and have been ignored every time. I think the simple matter is most people who drive infiniti's are not enthusiasts like us, they just drive them as a luxury car. For instance, I highly doubt BMW owners wave at each other all the time, they are just too common.
In the future I will keep my waving to modified Infiniti's.

I certainly enjoy the car. I'm just referring to the community aspect. I grew up around car guys and always felt a sense of comradery.. Just throwing out a thought.
