Thumps up!



So I've owned two evos and various other cars, 97 eclipse gst, 01 integra gsr, 03 g35, 06 evo ix, 03 audi a4, 05 evo viii.

I know the list isn't extremely high end cars but I could say that I have never had the urge to really give a thumbs up to any other vehicle though I am a car enthusiast for many makes and models. I love old school domestic cars, exotics, and our high end japanese GODZILLAS, SUPRAS AND NSXs.

I recently received a thumbs up from a ferarri on the highway and then today there was a line of about 5 G35s clean at a stop sign which two of the drivers gave me the thumbs up!

Have you given the thumbs up or have others given you the thumbs up for your EVO?

I just think it's odd but I personally like it! I don't think I would be so quick to give a thumbs up from A LOT of other cars. Drools yes but random thumbs up?

Thoughts?

I always do when I have my windows down. It's a nice gesture and makes the owner feel good like they're respected. Obviously it made a positive impact on you because you're posting this thread.

Even if they're not high tier cars, if they're clean and well put together I'd say they deserve it.

I usually have people giving me the finger, not a thumbs up. I guess it's because I tend to drive like a dick sometimes.

OMG, I know what you're talking about LOL. I give thumbs up to anyone with a decent car. I like to spread the auto love. Don't make evo owners look like douches, like those other guys....

I give thumbs up to anyone deserving. Most recent was a clean STi, he gave one back. Just a respect thing I think

It's a good feeling to see people checking out my car! Many people have said "sweet car" at stop lights. Who wouldn't like that
