got my first fbody wave!!

[Jersyboyy]

I give the peace sign or a rev if I see someone with a modified fbody. I also live to rev up next to all the "MY CARS FAST" guido guys driving stock mustangs or stock civic si's.

bah, the fireturd was a waste of time, that's why they dropped it and it won't return.

i dig all performance cars, so they can all wave and get a wave back. doesn't even matter if it's a rustnag, 'cause he's just showing respect for a better car than what he's driving. funny how it all started with bikes back in the war to end all wars, then on to corvettes, and later down to everyone else (including firebirds). i think it's a show of respect and comradery to wave, so i do it all of the time. my arm is usually hanging out the window, with my hand just below the side-view-mirror, so to flip it up into a wave above the mirror takes zero effort.

heh, a guy driving a trash truck gave me the thumbs up the other day, and he got a wave.

oh, yeah, and all you 4th geners, know that we cannot see through your windshield, so having your hand on the steering wheel and turning that into a wave means that no one will see it. stick your hand out the window...

Firebird is the top model because its flashier?
Firebird was a sports coupe pony car in a line up of other sporty sedans and coupes.
Nothing makes the Firebird more superior to the Camaro and vise versa.

Lesser sibling?
I dont understand the downplay that the Camaro gets from the Firebird Community and Vise Versa.
Again...the downfall of the Two-Car vs One Car set up and the reason why Firebird wont return. Its bad enough there is inner-car superiority between the Camaro gens....
Its also why Mustang will always outsell the Camaro.

Upset me because I have been trying to keep the wave going and waving to all the camaro's.

Its alright i didnt take it personal hah, plus i knew exactly who it was because of the flames. Shes Dark Shadow Gray BTW and yea the ss scoop is Black sorta like a stripe. I figured u waved in the car and i just couldnt see it because ot was sunny out

I wave at every Fbody - even got a wave back from a guy on the other side of rt42 going towards the blackhorse pike while I was headed north to go over the WW bridge, we were both in the center lanes with minimal traffic. I got a kick out of that. It was a black WS6

Ditto...I wave to stangs, corvettes, any older car, etc. Not many return the wave though And I know they can see me because whenever I'm out in the Camaro it's topless and windowless...so i stick my arm out past the car.

I hate when Im in my other vehicle, and I see tons of F-bodies out, and I wanna wave, but they would think im wierd, but when Im in the Camaro, theres none to be seen, and when there is and I wave, I do it in enough time for them to wave back, but alas, some do, some dont.

[Tru2Chevy]

When I see an F-Body or other nice classic/muscle car out on the road while driving my Jeep, I give a thumbs up rather than a wave.

[DocEwww]

I have to admit, I usually only wave to a 4th gen WS6 or SS car anymore, unless of course the person waved first. They're just more likely to wave back and not give me a weird look.

[Savage_Messiah]

If I feel compelled to communicate "nice car", I do it with a head nod and/or thumbs up

Is that a Pontiac motor in your bird, John?
