Sign language?

Well I encounterd another S2000 driver while I was driving somewhere in Santa Monica, this guy gave me the "V" sign. I thought it was hella kool , bikers have those kinds of stuff! any other sign between other s2000 owners?
do you guys do anything when you see other s2000 drivers?

Just wave. What's really embarrassing is when I see an S and in all of my excitement I wave but have forgotten I am in the Insight.

I know for a FACT that the last year of production of the S2000 is 2003!!!!!
After that, it will be the S2200 under an assumed name.

I just wave at all the other S2000 owners. Only about half wave back (or don't see me at all).

Yeah. I usually wonder if they actually drive it, or, if it's jus' to impress the neighbors.
A special Stewie wave? Geez! I need'a @*#&in' drink.
Be well.

I always wave.
it should be a rule like the jeep wave.
And when you pull up next to one at a stop light, a race is necessary. at least till the speed limit.

My father bought one of the first MG TD's off the docks in San Francisco in the early 50's ($1100, cash on the barrelhead, he would say). We had TD's in the family for the next 20 years. Was the first car I remember riding in. Whenever we would pass another TD, each driver would casually raise an index finger above the windshield, generally expressionless. No reason to make a fuss, even tho it would only happen a few times a year. It was not a "we are number one" thing either, more like a tip of the bowler gesture. And it was not agreed upon in online forums. Just happened that way. Don't remember ever seeing one pass that did not do it.

I think flashing lights is okay. When folks do not flash back, I assume they are either disinterested or on the cellphone. At least we don't have the Prince of Darkness Lucas wiring to worry about. The lights will work.

I bought a TD in 1952. Mine cost $2200. Back then all foreign cars waved at each other. There weren't that many.

$2200? Geez, did that come with a spare TD? Did you buy yours in a dealership? Either I have the price wrong or buying the car off the boat really was a good deal.

That was from the dealer. I was 19 and clueless. It was the first sports car I had driven and I had to have one. That was the only car I ever spun in.

A few weeks ago I encountered an s2k owner with an attitude. Same color an mine, Suzuka blue. I waved as I drove past him and he had a glare on his face like he wanted to kill me. When he pulled up next to me at the light I smile and say "Hey man that's a really nice car!" (our cars looked exactly the same except my aftermarket rims). He continues with the glare and says "Oh aren't you just the funniest guy?" I just laugh and he says "What year is yours?". I tell him I have an 03. Finally the glare goes away and he says triumphantly "Mine's an 06" and drives away. I guess not all s2k owners in Santa Monica are part of the family.

I think he was giving you the "V" sign for "V-TEC".

I point at them. Saw a BEutifull girl with long dark hair in an S stopped at a light. Gave her a point and she gave me a fantastic toothy smile. Kept me happy for days..

i arrived in richmond, virginia yesterday after an 8 hour plus, 530 plus miles. enroute to my in-law's i looked in my rear-view, as i am wont to do, and saw another bb, an AP1. we did not hand sign, nor did we flash lights, but we went through some minor twisties together. he knew--i knew. he parked on garrett, window half down. i got 29+ mpg and i did not baby bb. i only used the cruise control for part of virgiania on I-85. i cannot imagine what i could have gotten had i traveled at the speed limit with an extensive use of the cruise. there are some fine elevated freeways here with nice curves. if the weather clears, i will try them tomorrow and report back.

yours from ol' virginny,

bb
