Do you acknowledge a thumbs up?

[Dennis H]

Yep, I give a thank you wave. I also give a thumbs up for any old car on the road.

Same here.

 

[moparcanuck]

Always. :grin:

 

[tallhair]

Nice Dodge Sonny

 

[YY1]

I usually nod or point.

I usually also give a thumb to anything older than 80's, and now even some of those.

 

[Meep-Meep]

Mopars get little love in WI., or maybe it's just me. I do know hardcore mopar guys appreciate them.
ok, this is funny,
I was at a "open house " car show last saturday in WI. most of the guys there said, "nice Dodge"! I said "it's a Plymouth":eusa_boohoo:, they said...."000...kkkkkaay"....like so what?

So all Chrysler products are referred to as "Dodges" over there too, huh? It takes a MoPar person to recognize a MoPar I guess. Back in HS I drove a black 69 Charger one year then the next year I got my white 68 RR on the road and everyone thought I painted the Charger! And some even argued with me!! "NO, this is the black car you had last year." :icon_rolleyes: I should put this on my business card. "Educating the general public about late 60's MoPars since 1982."

 

[Sonny Black]

guy comes over to help me with my boat motor...(long story short) nice guy looks at my '63 in the garage and says "I got a 396 chevelle!"
OH wow! (here it comes)..........
but I had to be nice and listen all about the chebby and how fast it is....... yada yada 20 min later I had to take a piss so bad my back teeth were floating!.................to be continued,,,,,,,,,

 

[Pops1967GTX]

Adding to the Boat Motor......Sonny tell him your name is on a Hemi.............

 

[Sonny Black]

TOO cool! , POPS!

 

[Budnicks]

Pops that's an impressive 1005ci 2150-hp 1550-ftlbs tq "Chemi", Arias Hemi loosely based on Corporate BBC internals/parts/dimensions... Below now that's a Rodeck or JP1 500ci Hemi based on a Chrysler's 426 internals/parts/dimensions...

Bud, the most impressive thing about that motor is the fuel pump. 55 gallons per HOUR?! Damn.

55 gal/MINUTE! That's more than half of what most firefighters would consider a bit much coming out of an 1 3/4" attack line if on it by themselves. LOL

Actually, Sonny, we seem to have a lot of Mopar guys in WI (a lot on this site, too). But I hear you - we're still the minority at car shows. Us and the Ford and AMC guys are always outnumbered by the GMs. Seems like you get up into WI quite a bit - do you ever make it to the Iola show in July?

Damn, my fingers wouldnt even let me type 55 gal/ min. That fuel line must be like 3" lol.

 

[djais1801]

yes...a nod or gesture usually to other muscle cars crossing paths..pedestrians i try to give a meep meep as well.

 

[GTX.JCW]

Ooohhh a Roadrunner....

My wife has gotten so P.O.'ed at folks at the shows we go to, she made a sign for the dash that says " I'm a GTX,NOT a Roadrunner!"

Then there is the guy that ask me "What's the difference between a GTO an a GTX?" I managed to keep a straight face as I told him that the GTO was built by Pontiac and the GTX by Plymouth! His response..."Oh."

And we always wave, thumbs up and /or rev to someone who acknowledges our car! Or when we see one that deserves the same!

I blip the throttle. You know they want to hear it.

yeah that fuel motor is a big drinker... yeah, damn is right, but being FI most is bypassed back to the tank, what ever isn't used, impressive engine/combo none the less.... that Sonny Leanord Arias Chemi 1005ci is over 2 times the size of mine...

- - - Updated - - -

I do the tip the ball-cap or a parade wave or a thumbs up or a nod, what ever the situation calls for...LOL....

 

[Meep-Meep]

I have a 67 Ranchero and as far as the public is concerned the only "car trucks" made were El Caminos. I had people older than me tell me they had El Caminos and look straight at my car and call it a nice El Camino. WTF!!!???

 

[copper67440]

Drove my Coronet today and some young kids were walking by they about broke their necks looking at me. I gave them a big long " blip on the throttle" in second. Got another big thumbs up from a guy in an 80's Dodge truck. I waved and gave him a nod. He followed me for a while. I love it!!
