i throw up a very short, semi wide eyed, ok sign. index and thumb touching, other three up. im 24 and dont feel too dorky when doin that. just be genuine and play it cool. dont try to be to ecstatic. i dont mind the props but i hate when you go to the gas station and you have to hear all the stories from every hillbilly in site about how they used to have a 427, 4spd blah blah.. i just smile even though i really want to laugh. i wouldnt doubt some of the fishing tails are true but really? lol..

I just give a thumbs up and keep on trucking. I drive my Chevelle all the time and kinda dig it when people give me a thumbs up but it real annoying when someone tries to say something to me on the road or has a conversation with me at gas station, unless of course its a cute chick!

I've just given the thumbs up and mouthed the words "cool car" to someone if I like the car. I've even gotten a few in my Camaro, but I never thought my car looked good enough to deserve it. But I got them anyway. I've often found that some drivers just think that because they've got a cool car that they're better than others. I actually got the most respect from some local 60's Mustang owners while my Camaro was running. One of them made it a point to catch up to me to tell me he liked my car. I thought it was cool. Then again, I'm usually pretty humble about most things. I've just found others to be a-holes about it. If they don't accept the thumbs up, screw 'em. Let them figure out later that you were just being nice and admiring their car. They can feel stupid later.

I'll roll down my window enough to get my arm out and as I pass them give them a thumbs up. This way, if they're an A-hole I don't see it and if not then their happy for the acknowledgement!
