Have you been embarrassed by a passenger? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Has any passenger in your Camaro done anything that embarrassed you, or was "un-Camaro like"?

In my case, I was taking the neighbor and his teenage son to his sister's house, and we pulled up at a light next to a carload of heavily tatted vatos. The kid shouts out the window at them, "Where you from?" while showing them the palm of his hand with his fingers curled at the second and third knuckles (a heinous insult in the Latino culture).

Needless to say, I used the full accelerative abilities of my car to dip set outa'
there. I know I should've left the kid there with his new found friends, but his father looked so plaintive...:(

I'm Hispanic and having a hard time picturing this hand gesture that would be considered an insult

You hold the hand palm outward, curl the tips of the four fingers downward, and bend the middle knuckle down as well. Your fingers are thus tucked as short as they'll go. Keeping the thumb outstretched you display the palm side of the hand toward your audience while holding the arm forward and at an angle that places the hand at about or above shoulder level. Although its meaning is very aggressive indeed, to keep it polite on this family forum, let's just say it says, "¡La tuya!"

A vato is a gang member, or someone who lives the gang lifestyle.

Mexican slang for "man" or "dude"
