Default Caddy XLR WAVE Or NOT
While stopped at a red light, a gentleman pulled up along side of me in a black Cadillac XLR. I gave him a thumbs up because his car was clean and it sure looked good with the light tint. My question is, does anyone wave at XLR's. After all, they are close relatives of the C-5.

This is why I had my windows tinted 20%. All this waving nonsense is getting old.

I wave at all kinds of cars. They just can't see me

Yeah, but the meaning is different.

What "they" are saying when "they" wave is, "Hey, I drive a piece of *%#! and you do too!"
