Default Surprising Wave

Was out for a little ride this evening when a Mustang coming the other way waved at me. Of course I waved back but it made me think. We need this kind of thing to support the legacy of some great American sports cars. All of them.

I waved at a Mustang earlier this week. It was red with white stripes - GT. The driver waved back. As I went by I saw it was a very nice looking lady 25 years younger than myself and she was grinning from ear to ear. Made my day.

I was on my home in the Tundra the other day and gave a gentleman in a 67-68 Mustang fastback a wave. He had a big goofy grin on his face and waved back.

Funny this topic comes up today. I pulled up to a red light today in my VY Corvette. Up next to me a lady stops in a yellow Mustang. I said "We like yellow cars". She says "Yes but your Corvette looks especially nice in yellow". I gave her a "thank you", the light turned and off we went.

That pretty cool. I don't wave at non vettes but if they wave at me then I will return the wave. I especially like it when kids wave at me in my vette. If I see kids looking at my vette, I wave at them because I want kids to be vette fans.

Any and all Corvettes get the wave.

Also any old American muscle car (GTO's, Road Runners, etc.).

And most importantly, anyone who initiates the wave gets it returned.
