Re: The 'Wave' ...it's an old SAAB thing. Posted by Andy [Email] (#759) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Andy) on Sun, 19 Nov 2000 18:23:27 In Reply to: The 'Wave', Wylde1, Fri, 17 Nov 2000 17:43:17 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Back in "the old days" when SAABs were fairly rare and they were considered weird, almost everyone who owned one waved to others. Sometimes a new owner would look at you like "who the he** is that waving to me," and women who didn't know better thought guys were trying to pick them up, until it suddenly dawned on them that it was only guys in other SAABs that were waving. (I have this on good authority from my older sister and another woman I know who owned SAABs back when most of them were strokers.) Waving generally died out when the 99 came along, mostly because the clientele changed. Although they are now, the 99's were not so much of a cult car as the 93/95/96 were. Sometimes when I'm driving my Dodge truck I see an old SAAB and want to wave, but remember that I'm not driving the SAAB.
