CoolBlueSS Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I went to lunch today at the Taco Cabana her in Lewisville, TX, and in the parking lot was a band new Intimidator SS. Still had the paper plates on it. I'm in mine, as usual, and I park a few spaces over from it, and go inside. Btw, we both parked where we could see that side of the lot, so I'm pretty sure he saw me pull in, and look towrd his truck. I'm looking around as there are a few people inside, I'm wondering who's could it be. I end up sitting at a table next to two guys, and one of them is the owner of the truck. I didn't find this out till they walked out behind me and got in. I didn't want to make an azz of myself and walk up to every person asking if that's their truck or not. Like I said, They were sitting where they could see every car pull in, so they had to see me. I just thought it was weird they didn't say anything. I guess some people just don't notice or don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHO_Tek Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Some people are just freaks. Had the same problem back with both the Impala SS and the Camaro SS, if I did find a local they would act like you didn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drako Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 i had a similiar situation happen the other day. i saw a guy getting in a victory red , and i rolled my window down and waved and said hey nice truck. he just gave me a wierd look and hopped in. but for the most part the SSS i see here are nice, although one of them started to rev at me and gave me "the look", trying to impress his friends. dont let it get on your nerves i guess some people arent truck people. as long as you dont attract to much attention from the your ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hot rod truck Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I have a theory on this It must be the girlie-man syndrome. They see you in a vehicle like theirs and just like women there is no way they will associate or acknowledge you because you are in the same vehicle as they are. Women cannot associate with other women if they happen to wear the same clothes to a social event. The members here, being manly-men can appreciate the good taste of other members driving the same vehicle, even possibly the same color and identically optioned. We will hoist a beer and break bread and share in the comaraderie of belonging to a brotherhood of like minded individuals. Hell, if we show up wearing the same shirt, driving the same vehicle, it then becomes a life long bond, followed by comparing performance and bench racing stories Yes, I know this is But it sounds good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonm Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Keeping in mind that today, isn't the same as 1950. People don't just walk up to other people and say hi anymore without wondering if they'll get the livin' crap beat out of them. I get noticed alot up here in farmer central. My personality is such that I don't talk much to people. If you do, that's great! But don't assume because I didn't come up and put my arm around you and discuss our trucks, that I'm an ass. People aren't as friendly today as they were in Pleasantville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to take a little of my hicksville hospitality with me when I go though. I'll pretty much talk to anyone less they seem to be robbing a 7/11 at the time.

Kyle's03SilveradoSS Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Depends on the person, I've had people wave and others who just stared when I waved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Depends on the person, I've had people wave and others who just stared when I waved. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Majority of the younger guys wave, older guys tend to not care. In my experience so far people in red trucks don't wave as much as the black, blue and silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
