Default Ever get a thank you wave from a fellow LS?

Today, it happened! (cool story bro) Let a 4th gen cut across my path, the woman gave me a thank you wave, FLA tags, 4th gen, looked like an older one, not an L....reminded me of the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode where Larry goes, you don't understand, we're Prius people....is there any such thing as LS people?

Not for me, everytime I see a fellow LS driver I always look at them waiting for them to look back so I can wave. Now, its never that the drive is rude, its just they're focused on the road but its like, dang, I see a lot of LS430's and all I want is a simple simile and wave.

My first LS430 driver I meet was in a shopping center parking lot as this woman was getting out I pulled into the spot next to her and jokingly said, "Nice car." She gave a panicked look as if I was about to rob her, but she saw that we both had LS430's. However, the interior was trashed and the interior door panels were removed.
However, on a good note, because of my neighbor who probably had a 1994 model LS400, my dad got our '01 LS430, to which my neighbor still one upped us and got an 04' LS430. And we're both proud Lexus owners in a slowly growing Mercedes/BMW neighborhood.

No LS430 enthusiasts as I used to know at one time for BMWs , Infiniti G35s, and other popular makes. Don't expect a wave from a fellow LS430 owner as the original owners usually are driven by their aides/nurses. We on this forum know these cars are superior and well made but most owner's are not aware of this. No recognition for our cars other than this forum.. That's my belief...Maybe one day it will change?
