3 Waves in ONE Day!!

I live in the Sacramento area and was out running errands today, and the first other Camaro I came across was a '70 at the intersection opposite me. I thought about the "wave joke/story" and thought oh what the hell, so I waved- guy gave me the full on hand out the window, Miss America wave, followed by a thumbs up!

Next was a 98-02 F-body at an intersection again, and across from me once again. This guy was a little reluctant, but after I'd nearly climbed out of the window, he waved too.

The last one was a woman in a 5th gen. That one was a mixes reaction. I pulled up on her left at a light and she looked over, so I took my chance and waved and smiled (almost sarcastically) and she waved back and kind of chuckled. That's when her (I'm assuming) boyfriend/husband sat up next to her and stared at me smiling and waving, and gave me the ol' California Howdy! I would still call this a success!

One driver at a time, we'll get them all into the habit!

Thanks,
Dave

600 mile trip. Passed by (hauling trailer w motorcycle) no less than 6 Camaros and 2 ZL1s. Waved to each as they passed by, none returned. Did get the chick passenger to smile in one of the ZL1s.

I'm just not expecting a return anything. I wave howdy, but they might be completely oblivious to other Camaros out there. More into the phone than the road to even notice the same make of car on that road.

The Stang guys will be jealous, the "wave" movement has begun.

lol.. I've only initiated the wave twice..

first time I was driving to Georgia to swap for the SS.. feeling especially camarotriotic I waved at this dude in a CRT LT and he gave me that g nod and waved back. yuup.

I attempted to initiate a wave on fowler ave in Tampa @ 2am at this dude driving a SIM with argent body kit, gill stripes and AFM black wing... as I pulled up, he gave me an over the shoulder smug look and proceeded to floor it... I would've been persistent and matched him to insist he wave back... but it was getting late and were only there because my friend wanted steak and shake, so we had to make a turn.

Last wave initiation was on Saturday where I was stuck on the left lane since many florida drivers have zero left lane highway manners. There was a CRT LS Camaro on the middle and since I was stuck I glanced over to see a middle aged woman looking at me. I cracked a smile and waved and she proceeded to give me a blank stare. I cried that night and had nightmares of having to sell my Camaro.
