Re: Why Don't We Do This?
Back in the late '50's I was in my mid teens. My older brother owned a Jag XK-140 Drop-top. I loved tagging along with him and his buddies who were members of a local British auto club. Waves were always exchanged between passing sports cars. Of course most highways in this area were two lanes, sometimes four so it was easier to get the attention of an on-comming driver. I can remember around this time I would thumb through or should I say "palm" through his Playboy Magazines. There was an article in one issue with the protocol of sports car waving. As I remember the lesser waved first and was promptly acknowledged. There was also a Playboy cartoon of that era which depicted two sports cars being towed in opposite directions, their owners giving the wave.
