Default The Wave. Who does it?
Ok, so as most people know, there is the "Wave". Bikers have the wave, some corvette guys have the wave, jeeps have the wave, etc and etc. what about f-body guys/gals? Does anybody else wave if they see another fbody? I've done it so many times and have gotten maybe 30% response. Anybody have any opinions or anything to add to that?

Where abouts in orange, thats where I live. Granted I haven't driven my car in awhile, I don't recall ever seeing you around.

Anyways I usually wave if the windows are down, and if they are not I flip the lights on and off, everytime I have done it I get a wave or light flicker back.

I've tried it a few times. No response, so i stopped doing it.
