Default seeing another mustang...

This is my first mustang and i love it. As i am driving i notice that other Mustang owers wave at me. Now i know that motorcycles have there "thing" where they wave at each other and i was wondering if Mustang drivers have a "thing" ?
P.s. by the way i do wave back but it just weirded me out cause i kept thinkin " i dont know that person and i didnt do anything to make them want to wave" so i just thought it was a mustang thing.

Thanks for your input in advance

What part of Texas???

Yeah, I wave at EVERY Mustang, whether on the interstate, on highways, or in city driving. It's a Mustang thing.

Ok well maybe not if its a woman talking on the cell phone and using the Mustang as obviously only a daily driver with no passion for Mustangs.

But you know, we used to wave at everyone on the smaller roads, even if we didnt know them...Texas friendly thing to do...

I don't get down to SA very often, mostly around Austin. But hell yeah, a thumbs up and a way are always in order!

The one "signaling" thing that I don't like (because I can't wave) is when driving on open interstates where the other side is separated by a median and you want to give wave or signal. I'm always tempted to flash lights or 'wink a turn signal light' or something to the oncoming stang....something to say 'hey' .

its a mustang thing sortof, i dont know excatly. i get complements and waves from peeps with mustangs, and other classic muscle cars. for example, yesterday a dude in a 67 GTO drove up next to me, gave a head nod and said nice ride. another time i was just cruising and some dude in an actual 67 eleanor sped up next to me and just cruised side by side. so its a mustang/muscle thing.
