Things like this encouraged me to wave

Saw a lady in a brand new Blk/Blk MC on NB I-5 last friday from Santa Ana to Disneyland. I let her merge in from an HOV lane but not the car right behind her trying to follow (sorry sir!) . I waved at her but got no sign of response ... In the mid of disappoinment there was something encouraged me to wave again & again on the next following days. I saw a little girl in the baby car seat raising her head and waved her little hand at me ... Oh yes she did and that made me smile along the whole stretch of crowded freeway on a friday afternoon. Kudo to the little girl!

Saw a PS/PS Cooper on the 163N yesterday. Caught up, nice car! Had an SCMM sticker on the driver's side. Had his window down and we exchange spirited waves.

Saw a couple of others, a PW/B and an EB/W, but the traffic was so bad where I met 'em no waves or acknowledgement. Just careful driving in a crowd going 70.

I have been waving like a fool at the MINIs lately....only to realize I'm in a POS rental...so if you see some ol' fart waving at you in a red Neon, it's just me so you can wave back (I might be on my Buell and give the thumbs up too, so look for me on the IE freeways)

I Motored down, or should I say "Flew down" to San Diego (130 miles) yesterday morning for my best friends wedding. On my way down, I past 3 Coopers, and on my way up, were 4 more, and got 1 wave. Interesting that I didn't even see one MCS on either leg of my trip.

Was a fun drive nevertheless. MINI sat in a parking lot covered all day, then 10 minutes after uncovering him to drive home, it started raining. LOL

Red/White JCW Southbound on the 110 near San Pedro last night. I was carpooling at in my co-workers car so unfortunately I didn't get to give a fellow JCWer a wave.

License plate something like: DU999

Spotted IB/W MCS with two white strips left and right. Has aftermarket wheels exchaust and wheels. License plate was RECOOP. I went behind him and he waved and I waved but flashed him my high beams just to make sure he knows I said hello.

It was around 9:25am Friday on the 15N before the 60. We were following each other until I had to go on the 10 towards LA.

That made my day today.

Oh, I was the JB/W MC with a single stripe in the middle.

I've had two wave back out of 18-20 in the last month. I don't care if they think I am crazy. The way these non-waving people respond, I am starting to suspect they think I am swatting a fly! I'm gonna keep trying for now.
