By the way, on this waving thing (didn't someone say they were gay?), just for fun, I did a little research yesterday to see who would wave and who would not. With an hour each way to drive to work, it helped pass the time. Besides with my clinical work in psychology, this interested me. Actually, the responses on the postings REALLY interested me.
I limited my test group to only C/Y/T j rigs (no disrespect to you X'ers) and you know what? Most people did not return the wave. I only waved on two lane roads with the other jeep just upon me to make sure they could see me.
There were 14 random test subjects. Most (9) were driving T's and only a handful (4) Y's with a rare sighting (1) of a C. (you guys hold on to those C's - they're only getting more valuable).
All the Y's waved back, only two T's waved back - most didn't even see me - they were talking to the passenger. The Y's were driving alone and the C had a dog with him.
As a motorcycle rider for 35 years, waving was part of the culture - everyone just did it. And, while I was getting no wave backs yesterday, the handful of bikes (around a dozen) ALL waved to each other: hardcore shaved harleyers to the 350 honda to the crotch rocket rice burners.
What does this all mean? You tell me.
Besides the fact that I should get some self-help tapes to listen to during my two hour commute and stop this nonsense.
I felt like a dork waving to everyone. I usually only wave to the rebuilt rigs.
Food for thought.
