What do you people out there do when you see another S2K? I've got to say that from what I have experienced, S2K drivers are about the most unfriendly drivers I've seen!!

Everytime I see one, I turn to wave and get ignored completely!!

With my previoust car (which was an NSX), I don't ever remember coming upon another one and not at least having the driver acknowledge me with a wave.

Be friendly! There are few enough of us as there is!!!

I wouldn't say that the other S2k "waves back", but we at least acknowledge each other and this is in Dallas! Dallas is known for it's snobby drivers, especially in the North Dallas suburb.

I've seen a few S2ks on my drive in in the morning. Mostly I check to see if they have any noticeable mods (like clear side markers.) Usually those drivers are a lot more friendly.

I think the other members from the area would at least back me up on the "car attitude" in this area. I'm not saying 100% of the time, but in most cases.

The last time I saw another S2K on the road traveling in the opposite direction I was in a group of 10. We all waved, smiled and flashed our lights at him. He seemed very excited Where do you live? Owners up here seem friendly enough. The tough part is when I am in my truck and encounter a stook. I am sure they wonder why some guy in a pickup is waving madly at them.

I am always tempted to wave when I'm in my truck, but don't. I figure they won't understand. I think it's amazing (like a Murphy's law) that I always see more S2ks when I'm NOT driving mine.

Well, I wouldn't discount Mr. Murphy's influence here but I just plain spend more time in the truck (work and all that) than I do in the car which, after all, IS my wife's car. BTW RedVinesRanch how do you like your Dodge? I also have a 98 2500 diesel. Very happy so far especially when towing my boat.

The proper wave, agreed here months ago, is the "peace" sign...representing "V" for V-TEC.
