Default Thumbs down??

Okay, so I know it's not the secret way of saying that they like my ride, and though I know its not particularly good, what does it mean when you're driving by another car(imports especially for me) and they stick their arm out and give a thumbs down?

Mainly that they're jealous. They hate your Mustang becuase they can't afford a car with power.

I was being a bit scarcastic about it. Maybe since you're hopping on it next to them they're just trying to say they don't want to race?

As a person who regularley gives the thumbs down to numerous vehicles every day I can assure it's not good. THey think mustangs suck just because it's a mustang. You could have the nicest mustang in the world and still get, yeah it's still just another mustang comments. But I just shrug it off and eat my lunch on thier picknic table wings

I think you are being too agressive by reving a V8 as they are not used to the real sound of an engine.

No monster spoiler and you dont have 100 stickers all over it, so all the Fast and Furious crowd dont like it. Oh I forgot about the huge stupid sounding muffler.

Usually if someone gives me a thumbs down, ill flap my wrist out at their car about 6 times. Ill also do it if they think they are cool. I just skip on right by the "thumbs down" part, and go for the super YOU SUCK sign.

Thats you though. Some big burley man could give you a thumbs down in a pink 80s nova and still be cooler than you.

Yup, they are mad cause they drive a crap *** car that cost Pennys with a folgers can on it. This is what i think of them :thebirdma
They must have drank their haterade that morning or something, you got a nice ride.
I personaly have never got a thumbs down, just a lot of watchful eyes.

Here's one you can try. Just point at their ricer and laugh out loud. Hard as you can. Keep pointing at em and laughing. Most ricers I see are ugly *** primered,
lowered, with some ugly airplane wing or neon lights under the chasis. Plus that stupid looking single fart cannon. LOL, It must suck to drive that all day.

Was it the short bus?

I usually laugh at them too. Funny thing is the person I see give them the most **** is my best friend, who drives a CRX that was done up tastefully and with performance in line. He hates that they give him a bad name.

dude, thats soc razy bc about 2 weeks ago i was with my girl and there was this primered crx with a big *** spoiler revving at me and I was tellin her "hey look at the wing, the car might tip over backwards" and so we pointed and laughed and that guy was soooooo pissed. omg so funny. if youre ever in a bad mood, go out w/ a friend drivin and laugh at the ricers...and make sure they see you.
