So many LS430s around the Colleyville/Southlake areas of DFW - they are a dime a dozen - mine is one of three black cherry LS430 we see on a regular basis. Its mostly 50+ geezers (like me) in them, so not much nodding. Most people around here are too busy talking on the cell phone while driving to pay any attention to cars around them : )

I have had it happen to me and I waived back. Happened to me in all the cars I owned in the past from my Honda Accord to my S Class to my LS430! I think I may just do it for the fun of it. HAHAHA!!!! L.G.N.M

I think the majority of LS owners in my area are of an age where they don't generally acknowledge strangers on the road. Some places like the car wash or the larger city parks seem to be a little bit of a different story with people even saying hi and chatting a bit. I voted no but think about it.

Nope, most people think I'm driving my dad's car since I look pretty young.

If I would see any other LS430s on the road, I would wave. There are a couple LS400s around town (including the owner of my body shop and the father-in-law of my vette mechanic). There are no LS460s that I've seen.

Default wow, I'm old and so is my LS...

So, over 7 years ago I created this poll!

The 430's are now 13+ year old cars!

Is anyone acknowledging in any shape or manner to the other LS driver on the road? When I see another LS, I do.

For some reason, my point or wave or smile is more enthusiastic to the 400's than it is for the 430's, 460's or 600's!

I would but I just never see any others, have seen like 6 or 7 on the road, in my entire life! About 400 on the web....we are an odd sort in a good way. I think we all like top quality and well designed cars, but also like the sleeper aspect of the LS430....

I don't because there's bugger all LS's of any kind around down here. There's a 2nd gen Celsior just up from me, saw a 3rd Gen LS near the wreckers yard in the next town from me, and a 4th gen LS600hL on the motorway one day, and that's about all I've seen so far
