What's wrong with Miami???

What's wrong with Miami Sol/Sky owners??? Every time I see one, I try to throw them a smile or a wave and I get nothing in return. I just don't get it. Do people get the same reaction in other parts of the country?

Might be the "girl" syndrome, you know like when a girl sees another girl in the same dress. Many people want to be different and don't care to see a twin, much less acknowledge their existence.

Here in texas i don't get much either. I do get people with other cars give me thumbs up and nods from older people.

Guess being 18 and with a roadster makes older people happy seeing that young kids are into good ol body style

Well my experience in NJ is that other Sol owners have been very friendly. Both on the road and twice when I met them in a parkng lot. Always a smile and willing to talk/communicate.

I spend many evenings in the bars in the gables & south miami.
There's a good little group up in broward/palm beach nothing official. I joined GM roadster and looks like I'm the only member of Miami roadsters. But a Miami/south FL group would be great

Very Very friendly here in VA/Md/Dc area. Always get a wave or a honk and a big smile.
Because I am old and slow, there are lots of people who might think I am not sol friendly. By the time I realize they are waving at me, I wave back but they are gone. So big waves to anyone I missed.

Chuck

Actually a bunch of times I even know who they are. One time Cheers and I were riding together and a black sol going the other way zoomed passed. Before we could wave (both old, sorry cheers), I said that must be Done-w-him. He called here and said did you just pass a blue sol on 454, she said yup and that was that. I told you I was old, you see I am rambling on and on.

Sorry

The SKYRoadster Forum members from Broward and Palm Beach County, Martin and Saint Lucy have get togethers, mostly to drive and stop for some camaradery.
However we are not an official club, just different members getting together once in a while for some good fun.

Sounds good to me. I met up with some Broward /Palm Beach folks a few weeks ago and we had a great ride to Naples. Right Latin Venom?
