Ok so I decided to take the B out to stretch her legs & treat my daughter Julia to a short drive after I picked her up at school this afternoon. Along the way I was pretty much minding my own business enjoying the ride and the sound of the burbling exhaust note. But while I was living in the moment - I’ve learned some time back that I need to remain ever attentive to my fellow drivers to make sure I acknowledge the occasional friendly waves or approving thumbs up. Wouldn't want them to think I was a snob now would we? /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
Anyway about half way to my daughters school I see a new GTO (06 or 07 I think because it had the air inlets on the hood) approaching from the other direction. Now I’m not a big fan of the newer Goats, but I am probably more aware of what that vehicle is I suspect, than most owners are. Anyway just as I was within about 50-60 the driver went out of his way to lean his head out the window and raise an his arm to give an approving thumbs up & a knowing node.
After acknowledging the guy & returning the thumps up, I got to thinking that the driver must’ve been an enthusiast on some level as I’d never been able to get the time of day out of a most new GTO owner under normal circumstances.
So the question is – have you ever been surprised by a friendly wave while driving you classic from a car or marquee that you wouldn’t normally expect one from???
The best to date still has to be the guy in the 64 Stingray that went out of his way to make sure that I knew he approved of my little British car & told me of the 76 B he’d owned as a collage student. I swear I was in total awe as his vet was totally immaculate and by my admittedly untrained eye seemed stunning on every level. She must’ve been worth at least $75K-$100K plus range.
