Just something I’ve noticed over the years and was made pretty clear today. Anytime I see a nice collector car on the road – Camaro, Vette, Challenger, Mustang, even old British cars -- I’ll give a thumbs-up or wave, and am always greeted with a rev of the engine or a return wave/thumbs-up.
As for modern collector cars, I give the same wave but am often ignored. WTF? For example, today I saw an Ariel Atom coming at me on a two-lane subdivision street. I stuck my arm out the window and gave a big ole thumbs-up. The dude just looked at me like, “what’s wrong with his thumb?” and kept on driving. Same thing happened when I gave the wave to an Exige today.
Just wanted to share. And that I saw an Ariel Atom on the road. Holy jeezus it looks badass. That’s all.
