Do any of you people wave???
Alrighty,
If you're driving in an f-body, and you see another f-body (camaro-camaro, firebird-firebird etc... maybe not so much as camaro-firebird etc.), do you wave at them? Especially if they wave at you?
I've found that barely anyone waves back anymore and that there is more camraderie with motorcycle riders than f-bodies.
So, can we all make a little effort this week in waving and/or waving back to other f-bodies? We are a small and dying community since GM tossed us, we need to stick together!

PS: If anyone thinks I'm completely off my rocker with this idea.. well... keep it to yourself :P

I wave back or beep or rev or acknowledge in some fashion if they seem to notice me. Of course, no one notices me in the Cougar.. need the Bird back on the road.

I do it all the time. I used to get kinda pissed that no one would wave back, but then I realized it is gonna take a while for it to catch on, if it does at all. I will always wave to fellow F body owners!

Jeep owners are pretty good with it. My friend Dana and I went out in her new Wrangler and other jeep-types were waving like crazy.

i try to wave first, but don't get to do it every time. if somebody waves at me, i always wave back, but that hardly ever happens.

the thumbs up works by me alot. even with other cars. like the 350z that tore me a new ass last week on the parkway. the passanger of the car had a camera in the car so i let them get a kill on tape. cool people.

I generally do wave, at least to 4th gen V8 models (sorry V6 and previous gen guys  ) when I'm in the Z28.
I wave to Fox/SN95 Mustang V8s when in the Mustang as well.

I guess Im car racist. I dont wave to cars that look like **** on the outside, or appear to just "driven" becuase theirs alot of people especially in North Jersey, that dont even know what an F-Body is. But If someone waves, If I dont react in time I try to honk the horn. And If its someone giving me a pull, I give them a thumbs up.
Normally if I dont hear an exhaust, I dont waste my time.

I think everybody was waving or giving me the thumbs up when I took out the 68 on Saturday. The best comment I got was at a traffic light when a guy leaned over and said "nice car, and it doesn't have one of those coffee cans sticking out the back!" I usually wave back if I'm paying attention.

 HAHA! I think I'll do the same, maybe that'll get you 4th gen peeps to recognize the earlier gens.

Oh, ok, so me being poor after buying this car and making payments on a almost minimum wage job makes me unworthy of a wave?
lol, j/k. I know what ya mean, MOST stock Z's or V-6's don't give two sh*ts about the other camaro next to them, i normally try to wave to Z's and SS's, maybe the occasional 6. But, don't see that many, maybe 2 a day, 5 max, and there normally the same ones i see, like the Black SS i see at CCC with exhaust, i see him every mon and wed and throw him a wave inmy maxima. The first time i did it he gave me a look, but then i caught up to him and explained i had a Camaro, but just don't drive to school for fear(already got a foot-long scratch in it)

I usually wave, but get funny looks from the people who notice since I'm driving my Lumina around town.

I wave to ALL f-bodies that i see with a driver in them. sometimes i get a wave back, sometimes they wave and i don't see it until they're just about passing me.

When I was in Kentucky, when/where I bought my car, EVERYONE waved at other f-body owners, regardless of gen or engine. It was GREAT. We'd purposely follow each other on the road, stop at lights and chat. Ohio was pretty much the same, but once I hit central PA on the way home, people gave you dirty looks if you waved. Once I got to New Jersey, I got :finger: , SOO, I don't wave anymore. Here in Virginia, well, I haven't seen a SINGLE f-body since I hit maryland! Kind of sad..... I'm coming home tomorrow for a wedding, and for the weekend, except when I'm in philly, I will wave to all f-body's and see what happens.
