Will do. I go down there once or twice a month (date there alot and sis is in Mission Viego).

I'm in the same habbit. I still wave at Jeeps in my G on accident. People probably think I'm autistic.

I just sold my 97 TJ Wrangler and the "Jeep Wave" is still alive and kickin'. Wrangler people have been waving at each other for decades without having any type of stick up their a$$es about who's is newer or better. Just a different type of driver I guess.

I also have a Jeep Wrangler, Jeep drivers are the friendliest on the road. Sometimes I can't wave because I'm shifting, then I feel bad! We have a 68 GTO and that gets alot of waves, usually older men, I love driving it without my husband. lol.

I get more friendliness from Z's, instead of G's around in my area. Most of the G drivers here are women driving 5AT's or older dudes who arent really car enthusiasts. The other day on 441 (road out here in South Florida) some black 06 Z was behind me and pulls up next to me, I gave him the smile and the "wassup" head nod, and he smiles back and does the same, and speeds off. The Z is like our younger lil brother

Saw a nicely modded black coupe the other day on 101 N going up to the city. He gave me a wave and I nodded back but lost track of him around SFO/south SF. Honestly, that was probably the first time I really noticed any other G driver give me any kind of gesture. There are a lot of G's, modded and not, in LA where I used to live. But most drivers don't really care. Really, its probably the younger more enthusiast drivers that would really acknowledge each other on the road. Then again, there aren't too many of those in comparison to Z's I suppose. About a month back though, I was pumping gas and pulled up behind an 03 G coupe. This older guy came up to me and gave me his complements on my car. Although, he did say he was gonna sell his car because of practicality reasons. =\

I have never had another G nod or wave at me... i have had many Z's and 240's wave and actually had some convos with them at lights....one thing i cant stand is pullin up next to an srt-4...they think they have the fastest car on the planet...i usually just smile and wave....and ask them how their NEON is running

I remember the first time I drove a Vette I had another Vette owner (in a Z06 nonetheless) honk and wave to me. I was speechless. The only people that have given me the thumbs up or started a conversation were another chick at a light (we then raced afterwards ) and a guy in an silver Benz SLR I cruised with on the beach. I agree, we girls are much friendlier. Guys won't even look over.

I can't believe that hot girls like Vixen and Finti would get ignored! Not only would I give you the thumbs up but I would wave and honk and probably stick my tongue out at you. haha!! Well maybe only to Teddie!

If you stick out your tongue at me I'm gonna race you, and that won't be a pretty outcome

Kidding~ In my G I've had lots of people snap their necks and do a double take, which means a lot in a place like here where the car is super commonplace. But 99% of the time when I've been cruising next to another G they wouldn't even notice my car.

Is that a challenge my dear? Just wait til I get my MREV and your on!! I'll be sticking my tongue out at you the whole way!!

Well duh . . . any normal, hetrosexual male would rubberneck to see you behind the wheel of a G or even your 3 now and probably a lot of girls too!
