The Pride Of Ownership.....
#91
I thought of something driving home earlier today that goes back to this "Pride of Ownership" concept...
Shortly after I bought my 95 Camaro (my very first car), I was driving across town to walmart and a 3rd Gen (i'm guessing it was somewhere between 85-89 was running next to me staying with me as we got past 50 and then past 60 and close to 70mph before i got to my turnoff. And as i slowed down and the other guy pulled away I flashed my lights at him twice and in response he tapped his brakes twice. I know it wasn't much and who knows what was going through the other guy mind but at that moment i felt like i was a member of some sort of club. In a way it feels like being a part of a brotherhood which it is. Just a little food for thought.

From all the years driving the Camaros I've had I have to say fellow Camaro owners by and large don't wave. Me I look young and sure when I had the Camaro's most of the people I would see driving were young too and wanted to be tougher or race rather than wave.
My experience with riding shotgun or driving a friends Mustang Cobra and it seems that more other Mustang drivers will acknowlege your presence.
Driving my dads old '69 Camaro or '75 Vette convert forget it you got waves and looks from everyone, especially the other muscle cars from that vintage.
I hope the new Camaro is able to reach out to more than just men looking for the performance as I found with the 4th Gen and with it hopefully the "club" will be restored.
If not riding my CBR600RR will always get waves from all other sportbikes!
