    Now that I think about it, I’ve seen my father do that in his pick-up truck.

    When I was little tyke, I observed my day doing that to his buddies. He didn’t wag it, just pointed it straight up for a second or two. It may have had something to with having two firm grips on the ol jalopy with its loose steering.

    I kept the tradition alive, my buds return it. Strangers look funny.

    My grandfather did that with two fingers, lifted off the wheel. Index and middle, but together, not a peace sign. He did that to everyone coming the opposite direction on the Arenzville Blacktop, just in case he knew them.

    I miss seeing the little “thank you” wave when you let another driver go ahead of you. Not many people do that anymore.

    West Texas boy, learned that greeting very early in life. Owned Pickups, Corvettes, and a Harley it became a lifelong habit.

    We do that all the time around here in MT. A friend who is from Canada, but has a permanent residency here, mentioned to me that he noticed it all the time & it was new to him, then I noticed I do it as well, either 1 or 2 fingers. I also do the wave at a car that lets me in or waits for me to back out of a parking space (even if the only reason they do it is to get my spot). Used to do the trucker thing too – when a truck wants in if you flash your headlights to let him know he’s far enough in front of you not to hit you, they will (mostly) thank you with the flash of their running lights (don’t do it anymore because their speed limit is slower than mine now, so they very seldom want to come in). It’s all about courtesy, which is disappearing more & more, if those of us who still do these things pass them on to our children (& grandchildren) maybe courtesy won’t die out completely.

    A bumper sticker I saw a while back:

    “Broken horn—watch for finger.”

    My Dad did this too – it is pretty old school. For you newbies, it involves the index finger.

    Pluggers are more polite than the average driver.
