Splitting lanes good Lord haha SO SO dangerous! I won't do it though in gridlock I will ride up the shoulder of the highway with extreem caution and it's legal.

Yeap Hylton muscle cars / hotrod owners are an awesme group of folks! I have to say 1ST and 5TH gen Camaros definitely my favs though!

This happened to me for the first time today and I wanted to drive the car off the road. 1Lt with no options with some asshole looking guy that probably never heard of a Camaro before he bought his. He should have just got a Civic.

Yep carpool lane is relatively safe. Bikes are awesome Bro though I've been riding my whole life, really takes a heightened sense of awareness. I'd advise a safety course that provides a learner bike for the course. If you feel comfortable and confident I say go for it man, a bike can change your life. Just remember always be hypervigellent and overly careful.

I gave thumbs up today to a guy with a silver LT on I-75 when I was heading down to florida. He looked back and smiled. Good enough for me.

While I do enjoy the thumps up every now and then, I don't really care one way or the other. I am one of those cocky poseurs who doesn't wave, thumps up, or flash lights. I drive with my windows up and mostly in urban areas with lots of traffic. I prefer to keep my car safe and drive defensively rather than gawk at cars while negotiating traffic. If i want to admire and praise peoples rides I go to car shows and cruise-ins. If your ride is dirty, I am certain there would never be any sort of praise or recognition heaped on your car by me. Yeah, I am that guy...

Some people are taking it a little personal. Me i live in sport mode, music up loud, and 15% tint so alot of times I miss the other 5th gen or by time I see them they wouldn't be able to see me give a thumps up or wave anyway.

SDubATC · 04-14-2011, 09:28 PM

I try and give at least a head nod, sometimes a wave.

Do you also live your life a quarter mile at a time?

Nothing personal about it. I find it comical that people want or need that affirmative reinforcment from fellow Camaro owners. My feeling of self worth or esteem has nothing to do with my car let alone if people give me praise and recognition for it.
