The wave....

you know , when you see another car of the same make and you give them the ol 2 fingers off the wheel , or the hand out the window, in acknowledgment that you and them share some same mental liking to the automobile that you are both driving....

I have owned a jeep , a bike, and a wrx and they ALL did this wave out of curtiousy.

This does not exsist in this community , or at least in my experience it doesnt.

5 other coblats , be it sc , na , or turbo have never waved back.

I can understand occasionally that the other person does not see me do it , fine , BUT come on.

So just post up here saying that you do the wave, so that hope that the community is not as stuck up as I am seeing.

Happened to me when driving my brothers Mustang. I've only seen one other SS while I was driving. He was in the lane next to me and gave me a thumbs up.

guys in sc or turbo models would probably be more inclined to give a nod or wave. The fact that the cobalt is a belly button car(everyone's got one), makes waving a little redundant.

Only the SS drivers or visibly modified LS/LT models tend to acknowledge the gesture. G5 drivers are apt to notice it if you're also driving a G5 (Since the G5 is not common). The Cobalts are a dime a dozen, so most people don't really think much of it.

I don't think I've ever got a wave back except once... I saw some girl in a G5 and she was in the lane next to me and she was waving, smiling, and acting reckless. Too bad g5's cant communicate phone numbers wirelessly.
