Flashing headlights at other camaros?

Do they do this where u live? Back in the day we used to do it all the time but nobody does it where I live in Cali. 1 person has done it to me first. Just curious

I wave at other Camaros or nice cars in general. Flashing bright lights is a good way to cause road rage, don't do that.

A few years ago it was not unusual around here, but now that Camaros are commonplace you'll get a wave (maybe).

Back in the day ...20 some odd years ago if you flashed your lights at another car it meant there was a speed trap. I just give the wave and see if 8 get it back.

"Back in the day" meaning 20 years ago maybe. Never caused road rage and it was a way to acknowledge. Just was wondering if they did that where u live.

Around here, flashing your lights means there is a speed trap ahead. I wave at other Camaros. Sometimes they wave back, but most don't.

I just try to make eye contact with the driver and I give a nod. 100% of the time, they do the same.

I used to wave when our camaros weren't so common and I would get a wave back. But not anymore and I've yet to receive one from anybody. 2 weeks ago I had a lady in my shop tell me " that's your camaro right? You would always wave at me when we passed each other up in my red Camaro. Well, I traded it for a new Mustang and I've never had any mustang wave at me. I guess they are just different" I jokingly replied yea, they are a different breed of people. They are not like us.
