Camaro5 Wave

Saw this thread come up in another section

As far as I do it, when I see an upcoming camaro, I flash twice, when they flash back. I wave and they wave back

If you see a one off IOM Camaro flash at you, wave back since it will be me


But wait a month, I can only wave from my garage at the moment

I usually give a 2 finger off the steering wheel wave if the window is up or a quick side wave out the window but rarely get a reply.:(

Yeah, I always wave or acknowledge 5th gens in some way and rarely get a reciprocal. Odd, because around here anyway, they're still fairly rare. A couple of times Karen and I have had a good giggle as the person gives us this "are you from Mars?" look after a quick wave or light flash.

I've actually had more luck with other generations of Camaro acknowledging than 5th gens.

Most 5th gen owners around my area are assholes, but the odd one acknowledges back and waves. I've been flashed once, but ive gotten more acknowledgment from 3rd and 4th gen owners then 5th gens.

Just my experience so far

I always wave at you, but you never wave back, maybe we can't see each other through YOUR tinted glass.
