I started thinking you were all liars...

It finally happened to me. After 6 months of owning my Camaro I finally got a thumbs up on the road. And I mean THUMBS UP.
Some old geezer on a hog coming the other way on a side road gave me a triple pump thumbs up. It was even cooler because he was wearing gloves with the fingers cut off so his thumb really stood out.

So what did I do? I grinned like a fookin' idiot and nodded at him.

Oddly enough he looked a lot like me. Which makes me wonder if it was some sort of narcissistic fantasy or did it really happen?

The world may never know.

I don't get as many thumbs up as I used to.

But damn, the old days seem like yesterday.

Lol I tap the high beams. Either they know it's in appreciation of the car and reply with theirs or they're like what a jack hole and reply with theirs. Either way they all flash back! Haha

I got a thumbs up the other day by a fellow v6 owner sitting next to me at the light. I dunno why but I revved my engine. His look turned to a look of disgust and then he immediately took a right turn.

Oh it was crazy. Go back to 2009 and have car #230 driving around in Alabama. Mine was the first Camaro in southern Alabama and 2 in the state. I could not go anywhere without honks, 200 questions and thumbs up.
