I find more competitiveness on the road than any friendly waves, but I don't expect them in this car even from other Mustang owners. I've driven Vette's plenty of times and you constantly get waves from other owners. Yesterday I got taillgated by a guy in a 05-09, then he flew around and cut across in front of me like a jackass. I get crap like that more than anything friendly.

 

You do have a real mustang! I know you were just being facetious but your Mustang has better performance than 90% of the previous V8 Mustangs out there.

 

Hey David, how did your repairs come out? IIRC some jacka$$ ran into your rear flank...

 

I used to wave at all others, but barely had any response. Nowadays, I usually wave to other SVT/Shelby owners

 

Oddly enough, in Tampa, I get the nod and wave from Camaros/Challengers/Chargers/ and modded imports. I think I get it because I have the Xenon quarter window and door scoops along with tinted windows and sequentials. And for that I always wave back. At lights if a modded ride pulls up I usually roll down the window for a better look and if the driver looks at me, I'll nod or thumbs up them.


On another note, the other day I let a lady merge into my lane during heavy traffic while she was in the center turn lane. Being a nice guy I gave her a thumbs up in acknowledgement and she flipped me off. My fiance and I laughed so hard at that, that when we ended up side by side she was giving us dirty looks. I rolled down the window and yelled to her it was a thumbs up to say she was welcome for the cut in and then she felt sheepish. Got an apology and thank you. Heh.

 

Good job calling her on it! I think you just made the world a slightly better place because she will think twice next time.

 

Haha man thats funny. I had a guy in a challenger try and show off while we were sittin at a light. I gave him a thumbs up when he pulled up next to me and he proceeded to do a burnout. Little did he know a cop was a couple cars behind him an when he flashed his lights, the guy tried taking off and launched right into the intersection and stalled out!
I could hear his girlfriend laughing her **** off as i drove by

 

Hahahahaha, unrelated but Friday night my wife and I were driving home in separate cars from the kids' football game. We ended up stopped at a light next to each other so I started revving my engine. Of course, it was all in jest but there happened to by a fox 5.0 behind her and he started revving too. He must have thought I was a total d-bag for revving my engine at a Hyundai Sonata.

 

LOL, he was only half right, eh?

I am now convinced that there is more of a competitive than brotherly nature in Mustang/Mustang interactions on the street, particularly any pre-2010 Mustangs versus a 2011+ 5.0. Was cruising home from church this afternoon, when there was this deafening roar as the driver of a 2005-2009 GT with every nauseating external chrome embellishment going the other direction no doubt saw my car and decided to stand on it to impress/challenge/deafen me. He definitely had no mufflers; I'd say if anything he had exhaust amplifiers in lieu of mufflers.

What a D-Bag.

 

 

Same here. I limit my waves to svt and modded stangs. Usually get a response. But I usually just give a nod. To many "regular" stangs out there where the owners don't see them as special cars.

 

Was the sermon really that bad?

 

 

Made me LOL.

 

LOL, just came back online and re-read my post and was pretty much mortified to see that I'd mis-typed that one! Oh well, it's fixed now. Good catch tho!

 

and this ^^^^^

 

I think I wave to almost every 10+ mustang no matter what motor (I might miss some when not paying attention). Sometimes to others if I notice them looking. I haven't noticed many wave back. I ride a motorcycle and there it is like a 90% wave back. So maybe it is different, maybe not everyone with a mustang is an enthusiast. The terminator owners seem the friendliest in my opinion!

 

I could understand if I had dark tinted windows and so did she, but I was in the fiance's Versa (awesome car with great mpg!) which has no tint at all. And my thumb and middle finger look nothing alike.

I guess it is a sad commentary to how bad society has become that you can't even give someone a thumbs up or wave without getting an odd look or flipped off.

 

I had a Mini Cooper S, and they all waved, Same thing on the Motorcycles.. Too many Mustangs owned by NON -Car Enthusiasts. We passed a Shelby GT 500 convertible, my wife waved. the old guy looked at her like she was weird.. Hate to say it but even the exotic owners aren't always Enthusiasts... If I see someone looking .. I'll give them a nod.. If someone else waves.. I'll wave..

I was cruising home early Friday.. I had a guy in a mod Charger SVT following me.. gave me the 2-finger wave.. Gave him a wave back..

 

Just joking about the V-6 not being a real Mustang.

It took my body shop 2 months to fix it. Wrong parts were shipped according to the owner of the shop. Everything looks pretty good. Had to do a week of cleaning to get all the dust off.
