This is a follow up to a previous article about him Grrring to MINI owners waving at eachother.

www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,114278,00.html

"Motorcycles ... Grrr!

OK. I apologize to all the motorcycle riders for lumping you in with Mini Cooper owners who wave at each other in my last column. And for all of you who e-mailed me about sending the Hell's Angels to come and get me, that's not why I'm apologizing."

Feel free to email him your opinion... I have

mailto:strakalogue@foxnews.com?cc=views@foxnews.co m

Happy motoring errr emailing!

I guess he just doesn't want people being friendly with each other. Maybe he would be happy if we made rude gestures instead. Our other car is a Beetle and they wave to each other as well. I love it, there are enough people with road rage that a little kindness is well appreciated.

Well said. I think it's great that people feel the comraderie and can offer a friendly gesture to strangers as they pass by. I used to have a New Beetle and thought it was great to pass others and have them wave wildly and flash their lights. I guess the best way to get back at this guy is to smother him with kindness, maybe he didn't get enough when he was young.
