Is there something wrong with people in general, or is it just Camaro people?

I hope the whole "Camaro" thing didn't go to their heads. Last thing this world needs is more stuffy uptight people driving nice cars ...

I was driving down the road and saw a camaro in front of me and boy our cars are twins! same color same rims as for the model idk but I know it's a v6 not even an rs. So I was trying to lane up with him so I can wave at him or give him a thumbs up or something and then we got to the light, looked on my right side his windows are even rolled down, Im trying to wave and smile at him but boy he ignored me. Then when the light turned green I was ahead for awhile but still trying to wave at him but man! out of no where he stared at me,sped up and cut me!

Flashing your lights generally means there is a cop up ahead, that's kind of annoying, haha.

Hi All, I got a NICE CAR, and a woooooo-whoooooo yell at me yesterday, as I turned left into the street they we waiting for the light on?

Sooo.. i'm thinkin with these Camaros we should act like people on motorcycles, when ever i meet another bike theres is always a left hand down low wave, but i agree with alot on here, i see another Camaro and nothing at all, even though i'm waving or a thumbs up..and nothing.. ive done alot of stuff to mine so dont know if that bothers ppl but damn, theres really not alot of these out there.. lets WAVE when we see each other..not everyones got one!!!!

Do you live in Florida? Cause the only time I saw a cgm like mine I just thought it was the coolest thing ever and stuck my whole arm
out the window to wave. Actually it was a few days ago

You should have seen the negativity last year, I sat mine down smack in the middle of the Summit Racing show and shine when I first got it! The 1st gen guys loosened up when they heard I have a 69 also.

As for reactions from others, I have never been close enough to another on the road to tell.

I get the same thing ... different breed of drivers in Challengers/Camaros. Don't know what's up with Mustang drivers.

I dont wave anymore or make an attempt. There's an assload of them running around San Diego anyways. There's like a dozen of them on base and they don't wave. But I do get a lot of thumbs up on base from -none-Camaro owners.
