I always give a flash or "hi" to old or new, if they seem like they are in the know

Default Occasionally in the 5ktq....

Most of the new Audi owners probably think my car is an old Lexus or something with the rings stuck on it. I don't bother with them. I used to wave when I drove the 1980 5k, but the (first gen) A4 crowd seemed to appear as though my wave was a prelude to a carjacking, so I stopped.
I've posted before about seeing some Audi guys park and get out to look at my car - that's weird to see from my office window. The most enthusiastic wave I've gotten recently was from a guy with a 5ktq just like mine (or...the way it used to look before I "Mongrelized" it) he was driving the other way as I exited the highway and stuck his entire arm (and nearly his head) out of the window to wave. I've seen him on the highway subsequently - he's got "*** JDM" in vinyl letters over the trunk light bar - very funny.
Cheers!

Default I think the diesel exhaust note scares new Audi owners :)

But the VDub crowd loves it!

Nope. the few around here are too snobby to recognize another 4 rings badge

Default sometimes... more of a, wtf is that look though...

I did have a dude in a corrado w/ TDI swap pull up next to me and tell me how nice and clean the 'ol girl looked! That was pretty cool... but that's cuz he was 5 ft away... any closer and he'd start noticing the peeling clear, etc :-P
