By contrast, no one ever notices the V. Had a Panamera S that thought he was going to pass me on a two-lane I-40 merging ramp Saturday. The look on his face was priceless.

Ah the good old days ...

I did however start getting that feeling all over again after getting the Z. We took it to Daytona to see the July race, and the Z was more popular and had it's picture taken more than Jr. did.

Nobody waves or flashes their lights at me, so there's no reason to wave or flash.

Also, I would rather pay attention to the road because people in my area drive like douchebags and I need to make sure that their stupidity isn't going to affect me!

I thought that was a Jeep thing and "I just didn't understand"

Khmero215 · 11-08-2012, 04:08 PM

when I first got my Camaro, people used to wave back all the time, like a welcome to the family wave. Now I wave, its like why are you waving at me? lol

nikos30 · 11-08-2012, 04:24 PM

So fair warning I drive a CGM 1ss Camaro. If I flash my headlights at you or wave and you do nothing in return I will have water balloons locked and loaded to fire in your direction. Your bound to notice me then...[/QUOTE]

I'm waving a finger at you right now, are ya happy?

Be careful some people have real guns locked and loaded and just may not think you're funny.

I'm friendly, but I prefer to pay attention to the road and avoid other idiot drivers. Finding people to wave at is not a priority for me on the road. Now if we are stopped at a light, I might give a little wave.

Same here ,No response , I think alot are new owners and their heads are still in the cloud , Also see a ton more a year ago i was like the only one it seemed , But you have to consider they are selling about 6600 cars a month the last few ,So the numbers keep going up alot per month , Maybe the newbies will get a clue?
