They were members of the "I'm an idiot club" and that is their secret signal. They probably thought their vehicle would really "fly", and it may have for a few seconds......

middle finger up is for you, sideways is for the horse you rode in on.

What is it about that dam middle finger that gets to us? I deal with people ( contractor ) with issues all day and remain relaxed. I was in my full size F350 one day and a guy gave me one, I chased him for 10 seconds before I came to my sinces. As we speak someone is getting hurt bacause of the finger.

I don't know about you, but I did a bunch of stupid things when I was a teen. I did not shoot the bird at anyone. Things were a lot tamer then too. Maybe I just miss those simple days.

I had my best friend do that one time to some guy I didn't know, just out of the blue when I passed him. I asked my friend what the H$LL he was thinking, and his answer was really stupid (can't remember what he said) - and that was also the last time (7 years ago) that he has ever flipped someone off for no reason while he's been with me. I don't know what gets into peoples heads...
