about this custom!

Try telling that to one of them. I have, it's not pretty!
Here's another waving tale, happened last night. (I must be attracting
some najor negative LBC energy). I was driving east down Lake Road (Rt.
6) here in NE Ohio through Avon Lake/Bay Village on my way to Circut
City and passed a very nice white TR4. I waved, of course, and the guy
gave me this blank stare. Well, on the way back, about an hour later, I
pass the same guy, at about the same spot! I wave again, still no
return. This time he did see me, because he turned and looked as he
passed. I just shook my head. That is the first time I've been shunned
by a fellow TR enthusiast!
BUT, on the bright side, I got a thumbs up from a guy in a red Grand
Prix this morning coming back from my haircut! There's also a local guy
with a silver S2000 who waves every time he sees me.

Is it getting warmer in here, or is it just my broken heater valve? :)
