Car guys (and girls) just get it...

Was cruising around yesterday and happened to pull up next to a GT3. Guy honked pointed at my car gave the thumbs up and the "slow nod of approval" I did the same for his car. Those who know, just know.

100%! Car guys know but then you have the non car guys that think it's just another Camaro ... Lol until they only see your tail lights.

I love rolling up to what you might expect to be a snooty driver (Porsche, Lamborghini, Audi, etc).....and they're just cool. Renews your faith in the auto enthusiast.

(It also says something about the reputation of Camaro out there in the "real world" )

It has been any fast car that I am interested in since then. I have loved the 3 automaker race since the 60's. Yes, I am an old fart. Going fast never gets old.

If you post this collection pic in one more thread.....
I couldn't keep all mine. They all had to be used toward my next one eventually getting me to this new ZL1 level. Well worth it but I definitely "miss" them all.

I agree with this a lot. I was at a shop here and a Scion pulled up to admire a McLaren in the lot. The McLaren owner spent at least 30 minutes in the lot talking to him about cool/tasteful mods he could do to his Scion before coming in to the shop. Pretty good respect.

Similar... Rolled up on a Gen IV Viper over the weekend on the expressway headed to super car staurday.. Always nervous with that because LEOs are all over in that are due to the show, you never know the other driver's attitude with things, etc.

I rolled up slowly and we both exchanged thumbsup/peace signs and that was it. We both ended up at the same show. Never saw the driver again (just his parked car).

It's nice when you meet a fellow enthusiast on the road that just reflects your enjoyment of cars over trying to prove they're faster. Or just generally acting like a tool to you.
