Respect

It's interesting/cool how people who drive Camaro's have respect for each other. Example....I have the V6 model and and SS drove next to me and gave me a thumbs up on my car and pointed at his giving him the thumbs up because I respect the V8. It has happen a numerous amount of times. Thought I would share.

I've noticed that for every cool Camaro driver that gives the thumbs up there are 5 who won't. They won't look, nod a head, thumbs up....nothing. I go out my way sometimes to try and get there attention and it's like they don't want to be bothered. Oh well.

For the most part it's been my experience too.

Funny that I almost always get a wave from a Vette owner.

Weird right? It's almost as if the other camaro owners I see are angry that someone else is driving a camaro.

Yep I think that's what it is. And to the other post I've only gotten convo from one Mustang owner who asked me was my car pink. He was either colored blind or trynna be funny.

Just a FYI...not everyone is trying to dis you by not giving a thumbs up.

Though I try to do it, a lot of times, I'm paying attention to other things on the road, so I may miss another Camaro. I know I've seen some in the rear view mirror that passed by when I was concentrating on something else in front of me or beside me.
