Almost without fail, if I wave to another LBC in my area (which isn't
exactly rife in LBC's), I usually get an enthusiastic wave back, if not
more. But I waved at a small red convertible, initially unrecognizable,
later gave a welcome beep, and when I happened to park next to him, got
barely an acknowledgement (don't think I'm some oversocial puppy, but it
was more in context of hey - we have the only two small cars like ours in
the area). Not only did he not acknowledge in any sense of the word, but
in a few subsequent encounters where I've waved without recognizing that it
was exactly his car, it's been total ignoration. Is this some snottiness
with Pinafarina owners? I've never seen this from a MG owner. If a MG
owner doesn't respond, it's only because they didn't notice to begin
with. Is it just some snotty Italian thing? Is he a cat lover? What
gives??? :)
