Well back in My good Ole days, (76-78) I had my Sharp looking BRG
Alpine and got and Gave waves to ANYONE in a convertable sports car that
was tooling around on the friendly streets of Seattle....You know the
place...Where everyone is friendly.............Just vacation here, DON'T
move here...
Anyway, I don't notice this as much anymore. For one, there aren't as
many old sports cars running around, and a lot of people simply don't
have the time for "Pleasure" driving through our wicked and evil
traffic...
Waving.......Rich
