Many try to copy the Corvette wave. As a current Saturn owner and spending about 3 years on the Saturn web site many Saturn owners have tried to copy the Corvette wave making posts on the site trying to unite other owners to start a wave trend,but it just hasent worked and it wont work for Mustang owners either.I have only owned my Corvette for a month and a half and got my first wave from a 77 Silver coupe a few days ago. Boy was it neat, I waited 40 years to get that wave. IMO most other brand owners can only wish like I did. I hope they can also have their dreams forfilled as I have some day know matter what they are driving. Till then they will just have to pretend.

As a past 'stang owner...the wave is not a good idea.
It will be easily confused as a call for help...other owners WILL think the "waver" is experiencing mechanical difficulty....

Mustang owners should NOT start up their own wave. Mustang owners are meant to REV at each other to say hello.

Waves are good - regardless of what the car the owner is driving.
