I throw the v or dub sign/ peace sign to local dubbers and audi guys, most are from audizine or vortex. Usually get it back.

All of the Audis around here are stock and driven by old guys. Its true, most stockers are clueless, its just their expensive set of wheels. They can't even change their own oil. I wish more Audi guys were car guys.
Geez, that's hard. I'm an old guy and my Audi is stock but I'm a long ways from clueless and have done my share of racing on both two and four wheels. Don't assume that us old farts are slow, or aren't car savvy. There's a lot of AARP drivers out there who were tearing up the track when you were still in short pants.

Listen old guy, don't give me any lip! heh

I wasn't dissing all old guys driving stockers, just saying that to a lot of them its just a car. I know there are some cool old fogies around that know their stuff and have raced etc. There is an old guy at work who isn't really a car nut, but raced bikes for years and knows his stuff. I ask himquestions whenever I don't know something mechanically about cars.

Since when did old guys get so sensitive? Geez.

Ha ha ha. No offense intended or taken. Some of us just take so many pills that our chemistry gets out of balance *grin.* As far as the wave goes, I'll forego waving to other Audis unless they really catch my eye. No harm in acknowledging someones great ride.

I usually wave if I get cut off or if the driver does something really stupid. Whether its an Audi or not , they get the wave, and then they become as confused as hell.
As for other Audis, if it's nicer than mine, I give the point and the nod. I usually get a smile and a wave back.

screw the jap guys, their just concieted, not stating an opinion a fact. when you wanna race them because you hear their cans they dont wanna go, when your cruising they do their fast and the furious flyby. when you beat them they get pissed and make excuses. anyone else wanna take the rant from here. usually i just wave to people with nice cars, usually they understand that im completmenting them on their car and nod or wave back
