You do realize of course that you are endangering the harley rider don't you? If he takes his hand off the bar, there is a 90% chance that the bike will go into a violent tank slapper and spit him on the ground hard.

Haha!

I'm a bugeye driver, myself. Usually when I'm in the Vette I give the Scoobs a thumbs up. Most Scooby drivers for some reason are some of the most truly passionate and respectful of all car enthusiasts, and respond well to the kudos from a car with 3 times the displacement.

When in the WRX, I'd usually give the other Vette drivers a little throttle blip (or rev-match downshift if they're going the same direction) to see what they're about, lol.

Then again, I have a liscense plate frame for my C6 that reads "My fast car...Is a Scooby!"

With so many a$$holes on the road doing mean things to other drivers like flippin' them the middle finger, a little wave goes a long way for me.

I wave at other Corvettes. Actually when I am with Jonathan (salesperson here), we wave and make sure the other people wave back even if we have to slow down and put the windows down.
