I went 2 for 2 on Sunday heading down A1A to St Augustine. Had a guy in a C3 stick his hand all the way out of the top of the car and wave emphatically. I am thinking he got snubbed earlier in the day and didnt want to get snubbed again....Gave him a big wave and a horn honk.....

On Bardstown Rd, across the street from Skyline Chili. Yeah, it suckd. I freaking washed, waxed, vacuumed, and armored the whole interior that morning before we went. drove 15 minutes, just ordered dinner and splat. slushy all over the trunk, tonneau, my seat, her seat, in the vents, in the radio, a/c unit buttons stick now, down the passenger airbag between the cracks, and even found a puddle in the glove box. The nerve of some people. I spoke to an office who was out and he took my info. The guy behind them seen them do it and got their plates so I turned that in. Said he'd take care of it but not sure what can really be done. I cleaned what I could.

...Sorry, not trying to steal the thread here...

It is NJ: They think your after them... Generaly speaking, I'd think it'd be harder to get a returned wave in a urban area or from a woman.
