Getting the WAVE

Ok I just moved from MA. to RI. about 5 months ago. Since I've moved here I've seen a good amount of Xs on the road. Probably more so then when I lived in Ma. Almost all the ones I pass, give me the wave. This morning it was a pretty blonde that waved at me. Now I've owned a vette and I know thats what us vette owners do to each other. Is this common for Xs and I never heard of this treand before or is this just my good looks. (kidding). has anyone experiensed this. Is this a new trend we can start. If it's not something anyone else has experiensed I VOTE we start this trend.

What are you thoughts.

I think thats a good idea too. Some drivers in my area have waved at me too. (Ford Pride, what can I say? ) Whenever I see a Super Duty or Excursion owner, I almost always give a friendly nod and a smile. To me it's all about pride in your ride.......

Haven't really run into it in the X, in my Jeep or when I used to have my bike, all the time. Get a lot in rural areas still. Couple weeks back someone waved at me in the X, but it was just one finger. I think he was trying to say that I was #1!

your post made me smile.. As a recent owner of a 71' vette, I know the drill. It was a habit even my kids adopted when riding with me... they always were on the look-out for another vette and began waving well in advance.. Their hands raised thru the T-tops hoping for a wave in return

Since the X is a special class of vehicle, I began to wave to the few others I see. I think the fact that I sold the vette to buy the X has something to do with it...

So far, 2 dirty looks and 3 return waves... 3 outta 5 ain't bad...

Thumbs up Update!

The SD and X owners in my area, are a little reluctant, but it's picking up.

Alot of the SD owners I saw waved back and even smiled, others just gave me the "what's his malfunction?" look.

The X owners.....well......need a little time and getting used to..... They aren't as friendly as the SD owners....

But so far, so good.

How about the rest of ya's?

okay, when you wave, just use your hand not the whole arm...
