R50/53 Do you still wave...

OK, so I'm on my way to the gym and get to the intersection with the offset road ... which means the light is red for the cross traffic which is about 20 yards to my left. There in the front of the pack of stopped traffic is a nice black MC. I'm pumped. I'm green so as I turn right I give the MC a full-on, arm-out-the-window friendly greeting. I feel good. I slow down for the next two lights to let the MC catch up, but as she goes by, no wave, no flashing, not even a glance in my direction. Guess its just a car to her. I'm bummed. I'm still waving, tho, (and trying to disprove my 10 year old's Magnetic Mini Theory.)

Waving? How's this ...
I took the car out to "blow the gunk out of the engine" because it sat over the Holidays. We stopped at the Post Office. Wife went in while I just sat in the car.
A very old woman came out of the PO, knocked on the window, and said she wanted to play checkers on my roof!
I waved!

I wave and flash, and have only been snubbed a few times. A lot of the time the other driver isn't looking. Which makes me wonder how many times I've missed a chance to wave back.

I saw a '63 mini woody-wagon in the rear view - we were both creeping through the suburbs. I pulled over to get a look and to let him pass, opened the door leaned out grinning and waved as he puttered on by - neither he nor his two passerngers offered a glance. No matter - it was still a great looking car.

Well, I'm a girl and I wave at all MINIS. Yes, sometimes people pretend they don't see you. It's kinda hard to pretend you don't see the other MINI right next to you stopped in traffic! But the other day someone really made me laugh...I pulled up on another MINI on the freeway and got his attention and waved to him. I had caught him off guard and it turned out he was eating a Egg Mcmuffin. He had a mouth full of the sandwich and didn't know what to do. He smiled and waved his Egg Mcmuffin at me as I drove by . Shame on him for eating in his MINI!

I always wave. Most times I try to do an extreme crazy-lady wave (aka full arm outside the window or sunroof). Sometimes I get a wave back sometimes I don't. I will not quit waving. 10 years from now I will still be waving even after the new has worn off to many. Corvettes have a secret wave, Minis should too

If I were to pick one for the vette it'd probably be a half-second burnout.
For the MINI - turn the tires back and forth like it's waving Just don't overwhelm the power steering motor like I used to do
