hand signal? or gesture? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Depends, if we are going the same direction and get side by side, I give a thumbs up

If I see one coming from the opposite direction, I do a quick flash of the Halo's.

Most return, except the other day, a lady in a Yellow Camaro I was riding side by side with never even looked over, I guess she was playing hard to get.

So do it backwards. Either by showing the back of your hand with the fingers spread (like you are showing off a ring) or, and this is my favorite, do a spread finger face palm.

IF I see the other Camaro I like to flick the lights or wave if it's nice and the windows open. However I also like to pay attention to the road and my driving, so if I miss someone waving at me it's not because I hate them, I'm just watching what I'm doing.

I think there are just too many Camaros around out here. No one waves. I think in 6 months I MAY have got 1 wave but I honestly don't remember.

In my GTO it was actually a bit odd to not get a wave but obviously theres a lot less of those.

its the opposite here in Northern Kentucky. Lots of GTOs no Camaros. I got a few waves in my Camaro, but people around here seem to be stuck up. I dont know why but it really P*sSe$ me off!

I seen a camaro at an intersection.

As I drove up I rolled my window down and gave a big dramatic pointing at you wave.

The guy either really appreciated it or thought W..T..F... lol

FosterSS · 01-18-2012, 02:39 PM

Haha I always think about this as Im driving!

I always give the two fingers off the wheel, or if my windows are down a wave out the window to other 5th gens. I even wave to vettes and other gen camaros. Maybe im just a big chevy guy

Usually only the 5th gens wave back. I feel like the vette guys think they are better than us or something.

Man you guys are lucky... I hate waving to other camaros because everytime I do I get rejected. So if you live in Cleveland you will have to wave to me first

trganey · 01-18-2012, 07:17 PM

Folks in Alabama wave at everyone. When we have family visit from up North they always comment on how friendly everyone is compared to where they live. Guess it's the Southern Hospitality thing.

8of9 · 01-18-2012, 08:05 PM

I always wave to other Gen5 owners, and usually to older model muscle car owners. I figure most guys appreciate seeing each other's cars. Best one yet was passing a red 69 Camaro (my 10 is red).

Of course there are a few deadbeats who don't return the wave. I assume they're not paying attention.

007s 'Vert · 01-18-2012, 08:41 PM

I usually try and wave, but here in rural Georgia we all wave at each other anyways, like someone said before.......its a southern hospitality thing.
I actually got a thumbs up from someone in another Camaro but they gave me the thumbs up first before I could get one off because trying to get up alongside them in order to give them the thumbs up lol
