Back in the early 80's I would wave at all of the Trans Am and Camero owners. Just my way of rubbing their faces in it. Vette owners back then used to call those "other" vehicles "HALFWAY CARS". Half the price, half the women, half the way.
Now if I were to see an 80's era T.A. or camero, I'd wave out of respect. Funny how time changes our attitudes.

Took my 79 out on a 40 mile drive around the block last Sunday. I waved and got waved to in reply from a 1955 red Chevy, an MGB, a 69 Camaro, and the only other Vette I saw that day, a black C-6.

I don't mean to rag on C5-C6 owners, but they don't return the wave like C1,C2,C3's do. The other morning I made a point of slowing up (yeah, slowing up) to wave at a C6 on the freeway and he wouldn't even glance over. Then I waved again as I pulled past him, but nothing. 
I guess it was because it was just some old guy in an old car. I have grey hair and I was in my '63 coupe. I really had a hard time not making it a one-finger wave, but I didn't.

Driving today in traffic and see a motorcycle coming up on my left and stays beside me, sort of ignored it, when I here it give a couple of extra revs, look over and there is a young rider giving me the thumbs up/smile and away he goes.

But I must admit I usually give the one finger shooter point.
