I have seen a 05+ black GT with nice mufflers and wheels around town several times but we were always going opposite directions. I have always waved at the guy but he has never responded. Today I left making a left a an intersection and he was on the other side. The light turned green and I waved and he just gassed it as he went by.


I would have liked to talked to the guy because we are both have GT's and I would like to see what all he's done. I guess he just isn't interested in talking to an old fart?

 

I here ya. I don't think everybody is as open minded and friendly as us TMS'ers. Maybe he can't see you behind all that tinted glass. Come on down, I'll hang out with you!

 

I usually give a wave to other Stang drivers but I would guess 90% of the time there is no response. This is kinda GM territory and I get more waves from the drivers of Cameros, etc.

 

some people just want to own and drive their stang, to them no one elses car really matters.

 

that and, to alot of people these are "just cars"

Hard to beleive ain't it

 

my stang will always be more than just a car. it may be steel, aluminum, rubber, plastic and fuel (among other things) but its more to me. its history, memories, smiles and laughs. Its got looks, attitude and is always there looking the same at me. ford didnt know it at the time, but they created american history with the mustang. History that will last forever, change lives, bring people together... and be a legacy that will continue long after the cars themselves are gone.

and that is why i love mine so much.

 

Well I guess I should have been specific. I don't really care if anyone waves back at me or not but this guy just looked at me as he went by reving his engine. If he thinks it's so badass I would be interested in seeing what he has.

 

can't argue with that logic my friend, I'm the same way

 

thats guys just a punk some people just try to act hard for the sake of doing so...next time u see him why don't u leave him in your rear view mirror

 

Come up to Edmonton, Alberta.....I'll wave to you. I get the same response here....a few will stop and talk, most though just drive on like they are driving a normal car.

 

Now that is something that I've never understood. No car I've ever owned has been "just a car"

 

Mostly not a problem over here... I wave, I get response

Besides that... over here a Mustang isn't 'just a car' by any means :P

 

It's been a mix for me, too. Oddly enough, there seems to be a distinct pattern to it.

If it's a classic (like a '67) they always wave, but don't talk.

If it's a gen-3 pre-'94 'Stang, or an early gen-4, they never wave, never talk, and usually look embarrased.

If it's a late gen-4, they don't wave, but will talk if at a light.

If it's a gen-5, they wave, talk, and ask about supercharging.

It also seems like there's some angst between the gen-4 owners and the gen-5 owners. My buddy at work has an 03 GT, and his response anytime I pull up next to him is "ahh, whatever!"

Bunch a losers.

 

I got 3 waves Monday, and a couple of thumbs up tonight! It must be the new plates I put the car.

The best reaction I have is to drive up to them in the police vehicle side by side and start talking about their mustang.....usually I get a great response especially when they find out that I have one to.

 

I wave at every Mustang along my path. I pass a couple 05+ Stangs almost everyday on the way home from work. They recognize my car and I always get a wave back now.

 

I'm thinking it's a personality thing. Some people just naturally start up or join in conversations with the people they meet in everyday life. I'm like that. Some people won't give you the time of day. Maybe he's just like that. I'm sure you know that the majority of mustang drivers love to chat about their rides.

 

It's why God invented paint grenades.

Does he drive with his windows open?

 

I think I've only ever had one mustang driver wave at me before (an early sn95 convertible). I've also had a couple of comments, but I guess people just aren't very friendly around here!

 

I used to get a lot of waves in my '05 V6 Mustang, but not as many in my '06 GT Vert... But I do get a lot of people walking up to me and saying 'nice car' when I am getting gas, getting something to eat, etc...

And Rich, I am up in the NorCal area too and if I ever see ya around, I'll make sure to wave...
