Waves From Other Lexus Owners

A wave or nod or flash from a fellow owner would therefore have been interpreted as a confirmation of the goodness of that choice.

I realise now that that is certainly the case.  However, my reaction the first time it happened to me was consternation!

I had just replaced my first car -  an old Ford Anglia - with a Citroen  DS.  A few weeks in and I had a warning flash from another Citroen driving towards me.  Thinking that the driver might have spotted something amiss with my Citroen, I pulled in and spent some moments examining the front.….counting the wheels and such like.

But no…everything seemed in order.  Gradually it dawned that it was a greeting, not a warning.  Totally the reverse was the case with Ford Anglia drivers!

I was in my LS400 last Sunday and exchanged waves with a similar K-reg LS coming the other way. A pretty rare occurence I would says nowadays, but they attend the odd local show and I'd seen it an event a couple of weeks beforehand. Need to catch up with the owner at some point.

I wouldn't do it in the RX, although it is pretty rare that I see another one on the road around here.
