The R50 salute

[Mariach]

OK lads, I'm sick of all these porsche, corvette, and VW owners having their own signals they flash to one another. I say we come up with our own.

Anyone have any ideas?Maybe holding up the pinky and ring finger to make a little V (VQ)?

I'm throwing it out there, because I personally think we are way cooler than any VW owner, and the majority of Porsche/Corvette owners are yuppies anyways. ( No offense to any owners)

[fueler]

whats the corvette salute? do you make an "O" with your hand and wag it in a jerking off fashion??

[pathy1217]

Im with you on that one fueler!

[Mariach]

No, they all hold up a piece of cheap plastic off the interior that has broken off.

LOL pretty funny

[slickroger]

i second the middle finger.

or we can put the 2 middle fingers together to make a V

[Qxxx4]

i was on the highway the other day and had my windows half rolled down and spotted a 95ish pathy driver staring at my q in amazement, we locked eyes at 115 and smiled. it was brotherhood at its finest. LOLor you can do what me and roger did the other night when we spotted eachother, just say "ayo, whats up ehhhh, lookin good man, whats new, yoooo" all crazy like while driving. that was pretty funny.

[fueler]

a good signal for R50 owners, would be to hold up all the $100 dollar bills we save from our trucks never breaking down!!

id do that but i invest the extra $$ in organized crime.

[W O T]

Me and the 2 other guys in town with 01+ qx4's flick our foglights at eachother

DUnno if you can do that in previous years

Thats also how I warn people of cops up ahead though lol

[Qxxx4]

i loke WOT's the best and ya the older ones can do this! but what about side by side in traffic lol

[W O T]

You got me there, we usually settle it here in milton by lining them up for a run

[fueler]

lol. QX4's drag racing? thats like the special olympics.

[W O T]

lol the 3.5 is good to embarass some ppl dude, my town is full of rice so when I dont bring the Crx out to the races I bring the infiniti, and I walk all over integras/cavaliers/neons with there intakes and fart cans. Easily

Even beat a 94-98 mustang gt on friday, kid swore up and down I was sprayin or had more mods than I said (intake, full exhaust, thats it)

I then showed him my multi hundred pound stereo and nice leather interior VS his gutted POS "race car", doub the'll be coming back down lol

QXX4 might know the car, he was from brampton, yellow car with a unique 3 black racing strips, not just 2 stripes, he took it to the max and got 3 lol, with a black trunk and white rims aswell

[fueler]

[Adnan]

man where do you guys find cheerful R50 enthusiasts?

i saw an exact same one as mine few weeks ago and gave the guy a thumbs up...he gave me a WTF?? look so i just kinda frowned and look away

WOT the other night i came out the 401 right under the over pass noticed a z4 2.5 tearing it so i followed him to sheppard where i closed in on after a 1.5-2 car leadhe gave me a thumbs up followed by the "what in the world do you got in there?" the 3.5s sounds amazing with the windows down i can only imagine what its like with a CAI

WOT, the other night I came out the 401 right under the over pass and noticed a z4 2.5 tearing it, so I followed him to Sheppard where I closed in on after a 1.5-2 car lead he gave me a thumbs up followed by the "what in the world do you got in there?"

You should have told him a 3L straight 6. That would have made him scratch his head.

Seriously...R50 owners don't need a "sign" or a "thing". 90% of the ones driving around are by people who could care less. Maybe they are in the R50 because they didn't want a 4Runner or Pilot or minivan. The R50 is just another SUV in the eyes of the public.

Yes, the 3.5 R50s can move better than what most people think, but that doesn't mean we need some common thing.

Porsche has the headlight flick. Permagrin

Thats just funny as hell R-50 racing a mustang. As for a salute, isn't that what we are doing here!!! I'm a fan of the california howdy but I think showing our rigs is salute enough. f*** those uppies

[W O T]

Ya it was funny actually, spanked me a mazda 3 and an f150 harley davidson last night, but then got walked by an old man in a sleeper older gen z28 crapero

[02infinity]

OK how did you spank a Harley f150 they are super charged man. If you get a chance video that s*** I'd love to see it. Are you doing this at a track 1/8th mile, 1/4 mile or stop light to stop light?

[W O T]

It was a stock 02, he said there rated at like 340hp , they also weigh 4800+ pounds, his rims and slow launch Im sure didnt help, but it barely was a close race.

Its just a meet spot on the weekends on an industrial road with only one entrance so we know if the cops come in. We have a marked 1/4 mile though, smooth as crap and empty after 8pm as its some sort of rail yard road

[02infinity]

have you looked how much the QX4 weighs the horsepower/torque to weight ratio just dosn't make sense that a slightly modified V-6 w/nearly the same weight would walk on a 340hp s/c v-8. I'd like to take that driver and b**** slap em a few times and show em how its done!!

[02infinity]

I don't know about u but I break s*** all the time but, i save money by fixin stuff myself. However I can't imagine paying a shop $80-$100an hr to fix the stuff that I break. still a benji will only buy windshield wipers, some fuzes, oil and an oil filter, and plugs. s*** it won't even pay for a tow anymore!!!!!

[screwinitupagain]

Here's your salute Mariach:

[02infinity]

OMG I'm ROLLIN lmao

did you just post that pic or did you have it on file!!!

[InfinQX4]

That'd be great, but I get that all the time already anyway!!!

I have to agree that most R50 owners aren't in touch with their dirty side. I see them all the time and nothing back. Worst are the few QX4's around. Couple each week, nothing again.

My favorite is still going off road. Everyone out here has Jeeps, 4Runners and the occasional Suzuki. I roll up in the Q and I get all sorts of comments. Mostly like WTF are you doing back here in that!!

[02infinity]

You should have seen the look on the convoy of jeeps that I passed on the trail this weekend. I thought that their EYEBALLS were going to burn a hole in my Infiniti.Then again I'll be on my way loaded w/ everything that I might need and at stop lights I'll get people who have nothing but nice things to say and how impressed they are!! LOLBut those damn jeeps and other POS rigs are hatin.

SO I second that BIRD use it and use it often if they don't like it they can suck an egg!

SALUTE THIS f***ER

[screwinitupagain]

OMG I'm ROLLIN lmao

did you just post that pic or did you have it on file!!!

Thats from URE in September of '08 (when I still had my original engine). Not a recent shot by any means just something I had on file

[02infinity]

How appropriate for this thread I like it

[Empty V]

Screw you guys and your vette bashin, here's my weekend ride





If I gave anyone out here a salute in my QX4 they wouldn't know WTF I was doing, probably just wonder where my helmet is. When I see another classic Vette owner we do usually give the obligatory wave, when I see a new Vette they just stare in amazement and listen to her go.
