Today I'm on the freeway coming back from the grocery store and I look in my mirror and see a brand new IBM with white hood stripes coming up behind me in the next lane. As he pulls up alongside I look over to give him a thumbs-up and he's just staring straight ahead like a zombie; no expression, no excitement, no grin, nothing. Doesn't even look at me. It's not like IBM Camaro's are plentiful either. I noticed people all around us were looking but this guy had all the excitement of meat loaf. What a waste of a beautiful car.

Maybe he was in "cooldown" mode or just in awe of driving such an awesome car...lol..

acowherd · 11-10-2009, 10:40 PM

If I see you, I will wave.

Similar thing happened to me today... Saw a guy in a transformer's edition camaro - looked over a few times to wave but he was looking dead ahead... seems like you'd look if you saw another camaro in the lane next to you!!

Oh well

If I see another Camaro i'm downshifting and hauling....cuz thats just what I do...catch me if you can...lol

bigd1276 · 11-10-2009, 10:46 PM

I would wave

and beep and flash my lights. I don't see too many other new Camaros around here and no other IBMs.

CGM DIVA · 11-10-2009, 10:52 PM

This happened to me as well... I was driving down a main road during rush hour, and saw another CGM coming towards me in a lane going the opposite direction... I honked my horn and waved, and all I got was a quzzical look like I was some deranged retard or something...:

Some people just don't get it...

Maybe they don't want to be another wrecked camaro statistic! When I'm driving mine around people probably think I'm a zombie. But I want to concentrate on the road and make sure I'm driving my car for a long time and not on here posting pics of my sweet new camaro with the front end tore off my carcause I just rear ended somebody cause I was trying to wave at someone. Lol just kidding guys and gals don't get offended but I do focus everything out when I'm enjoying driving this car around! Plus when everyone is just staring at this sweet ride I get tired of smilingand waving so I just focus on the road ahead of me. To everyone keep it safe and enjoy the ride!

I had the same thing happen yesterday. I saw a SIM LT behind me. He came up beside me a couple of times but never even looked my way. I was thinking it may be a rental and the guy just doesn't know what a cool car he is driving.

flarehaze · 11-10-2009, 11:38 PM

When I'm on my gixxxer, I don't like looking at people while at stoplights. I feel like they might think I'm a snob "looking down" at them. I know.....it's completely retarded and makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

I also feel weird when people see me "eye-effin" their Camaro (or any other TOTALLY AWESOME car!)

hmmm....i think i'm just a weirdo! lmao.
btw....at this same time next week i'll be spending the night in my new 2SS IOM!

Congrats on your about-to-be ride hehe. And if you see another Camaro on the road, just give them a thumbs up or wave.

I usually do this when the competition aproaches. Mustang, Chally, BMW, Nissan Z, Etc. No takers yet though.

StlRomAniaN · 11-10-2009, 11:52 PM

Same thing happens to me...

...and I get the occasional finger. What the hell, right?

Downwithopp · 11-11-2009, 01:07 AM

Every day I drive across the Golden Gate bridge into SF for work, and everyday I see the same Cyber Metallic Grey v6. I've given the thumbs up twice with no luck.

BUT today driving along the Marina heading back to the bridge I took a side detour sort of below the Golden Gate to avoid traffic and saw a parked black SS.

MAYBE HE WILL BE MY FRIEND
