Yet another thread falling to the VDC on/off debate. Frankly I don't care whether you drive with it on or off, but compare how many "VDC off = crash" threads compared to "I drove with the VDC on and my dick fell off" threads

When I had my vettes, everyone waved, when I have my f-bods, a good majority waved, so on and so on. But the 350 owners just have zero interest in waving. In all the years I've been driving the 350, then the 370, I think maybe two have returned waves.

you don't even have to have the same car to wave and be like 'nice car'. this older guy in a 911 gave me a thumbs up a few weeks ago. Its just that, obviously, if you have the same car, and its not a beater, you are fond of the car, so it would make sense that when you see another one you'd be like 'nice car'

Thanks for playing...and all of the great feedback! Even a few perspectives I hadn't considered.

I get quite a bit of positive comments on roadster. Actually, it is the first car I have owned that people feel compelled to talk to me about... in traffic. The same night that I was referring to in the original post, a woman in an Infinity passed me in the left turn lane at a light, came to a stop behind the first car, and backed up three car lenghts to talk to me about it. It's a blast and I would never blow anyone off that was interested.

I can see one problem with this thread, it is "enthuZiasm."

getting back on topic,
OP stated "they stick their noses in the air", are you refering to when someone nods their head upwards as a "Whats up" motion? thats not brushing you off, thats saying Hi, but not with the wave. |

I've stopped waving or complimenting 350s unless they do it first. I've just gotten tired of getting scoffed at. Alot of the women just don't know and alot of the younger people think they are gods gift with their 350. I've never had the same reaction from a 300, 280 or 240. Just the 350. I've meet some cool people who drive 350s but they seem to be few and far between.
