Just a wave

[Sam_Fear]

I was stopped at a light on my way home from work today when a older black guy in a sweet looking metallic green 54 Chevy goes past in front of me. He's checking my 63 F100 out, so I give him a friendly wave. He looks confused at first, then he gets it, gives a wave back and gets a big smile. I can guarantee, if I ever see that guy stopped somewhere, we'll have a good conversation.

Most of the guys I see in their cars look away if I give them a wave when I see them looking. That ol' ratty truck ain't good enough for them.

Same here, I see lots more guys driving old cars around these days and we always trade waves or thumbs up and pull over and talk too!

Everyone waves here, well not the kids on cell phones but knowing someone has nothing to do with waving. I'm surprised Iowa isn;t the same.

I was with my son at job he was doing in a housing development , I took a walk and come across this house with an old T Bird in the garage . So I go up and knock on the door ,a lady comes to the door and I say "is the car guy home " , she says yes and i say " tell him a car guy is at the door " . She turns and calls to him and says "there is a car guy here ,see you in an hour " she was about right we spent a hour in his garage talking cars .

Yup seems like everybody's your friend when you drive and old car. Kinda nice.

I exchange waves with other old cars all the time, whether I know the driver or not. A lot of times, when meeting a group of Harleys, I get an arm extended downward with the fingers making a "V". Don't know what it means, but I hope it's a sign of approval.

worthwhile.

You get out of the city and it's country manners then - most everyone gives a wave as you pass, no matter what you drive.

I see an old car (pre-76) on the streets around here about twice a month. They don't bring 'em out of the garages but for shows and cruises. Salt in the winter, and no air for the summer.
