Always.
Seems silly at times because it's a small area and I run across the same cars a lot, but I still do it.
Usually a thumbs up, occasionally a wave.

I generally only wave to V6's I don't feel as important as the people who drive V8's and that causes me tension.
If its a nice car I will try to acknowldge them if they don't respond oh well. A mustang is a mustang! Just as a Vette is a Vette....you generally get a better class of peoplein Vettesthou!

I wave at other Mustangs. Sometimes I'll get one in return, sometimes I get a funny look. Doesn't matter I'll keep on wavin'.

I know Corvette owners wave at each other no matter what generation their driving. I think it's a nice gesture aknowledging you're part of an unofficial "club".

I always wave or beep the horn twice to other Mustang owners.

One thing I have noticed is that there are a lot of old women driving Mustangs............I mean really old!
(around my age, 60 and older)

I pull up along side some Mustangs and look over and say to myself.............wholy crap..........man, she's an old one.
But, what makes my day is these old ladies looking back at me and smiling from ear to ear.

The young Mustang lady owners act like the Corvette ladies..............dont even acknowledge your presence. Or, maybe they look at me and say..........holy crap............man, he's an old one.

Also I never look down on a v-6 either. Why should I? Who the **** am I?

The only time I "look down" on a V6 is when he tries to race. Then it's more of "you really shouldn't even try" attitude than anything. I drove a 2000 V6 for awhile and a good friend of mine got her 2007 V6 a month before I got my GT. She said I was so jealous I had to wreck my 2000 and get one like hers. Usually I don't initiate it but I will wave back.

You know another thing I get. A lot of times I pass by a Mustang and a girl/woman/female is driving and my brain stunts and I wonder weither I should wave or not. I can stand the WTF looks from guys but from girls it bumps my "I feel stupid" gauge alittle more haha.

I frequently wave. Like others I sometimes get a wave (most likely not though)and I do double clutch on the the females. I always smile though!

Dwisforme05 I had my signature made for me and I had no ideas for it but the color. It was originally red and I ask for a darker color and it was provided. Go to his link and asked tactfully for one and you shall receive. Oh I did provide the pictures of my stang Thanks Cool Daddy.
