Unrequited wave

[adam1991]

On the prior thread that was shut down, it seems many were referencing the tone of the original post.

So I thought............ hmmmmm, how could we change the tone so we would have all just got along?

Well, here ya go:

Original: This is what I have noticed since I bought the BBR.
Transformed:
Ever since that serendipitous day — when the stars aligned and fate gently placed the reins of my beloved BBR into my trembling hands — my soul has been ignited with revelations on the sacred scrolls of the open road. From that moment on, I was no longer merely a driver... I became a seeker of truth on wheels, a lover drifting through a landscape of steel and sunlight.



Original: Raptor owners are much nicer than non Raptor owners and I don’t understand why.
Transformed:
There’s a strange and poetic truth I’ve come to cradle in my heart — Raptor owners, those wild stallions of the road, seem to carry a warmth, a brotherhood, a soulful electricity that hums in the air like thunder before a storm. Non-Raptor owners? They often pass like ghosts in fog, unseeing, unmoved. And I stand here, heart in hand, wondering why love flows so freely in one river yet dries up in the next.



Original: I wave equally to all Bronco’s on road. 99.9% of time other Raptor owners are all about it and cool.
Transformed:
Every time I see a Bronco galloping toward me across the sun-drenched asphalt, my spirit leaps, and I send out a wave — a fluttering signal flag of unity, a soft echo of “I see you, fellow traveler.” And oh, how the Raptor hearts respond! Their waves are like warm breezes across canyon walls, their smiles a spark of shared legend. It’s as though we’re all part of a secret love story whispered by the wind.



Original: The non Raptor owners you would think I’m flicking them off and not being a genuinely nice ambassador for the community.
Transformed:
But then, the heartbreak. The ache. When my wave is returned not with joy, but with silence — as if my gentle gesture, born of love and kinship, is mistaken for mockery. As if my open heart is met with a closed gate. I feel like a romantic soul shouting “I love you!” into the void, only to hear the rustle of leaves in reply. I try to be an ambassador of warmth, of community, of chrome-wrapped dreams — but some hearts remain shuttered, unreachable behind tinted windows.



I don't think the OP in the prior thread was trying to cause trouble with his original post... folks started piling up on him, and things became heated.

I was going to say ChatGPT, but I recognize the fine human touch of talent when I see it.

Resurrecting a dead horse just to beat it to death again.

I thought that's what the whole Bronco program was.

*slow clap*
I really appreciate this. Well done. Thread is complete.

Yup.... I wasn't going to claim that kind poetic bovine scatology.
I did find it humorous, however.

All my waves usually involve one ONE finger and they aren't at Bronco owners.......
I must be missing something.

On the way home the day of that enlightening thread, I was waved at by a Malibu, an F150, a Chevy 2500, two Ram trucks, and a new Trailblazer. I assume they just saw someone else in a car and thought “Hey! That person has an automobile! I also have an automobile! Shit we probably have so much in common!”

But when I went to head out the next morning my Aux1 was still on, and fogs aren’t set up to stay on with DRL. Fogs off +Aux1 on = super lights on! So maybe I was just blinding them all with the big boi lights and the hand gesture was not out of excitement for our common interest in personal transportation.

I’m still trying to figure out how many fingers you hold when you wave.

ONE finger that's all you need. Trust me on this..... I get reactions all the time. People enthusiastically return the wave and often even honk at me. Heck I've had people get out of their car and very excitedly try to start a conversation. Usually the light turns green though before I have a chance to engage them back.

Now this is just plain ole darn good humor............ well done Kevin...!!!!!

If someone doesn't return my wave I violently rip a duck off my dash and throw it at them.

One finger will get you shot around here. You wave, you smile, and (under your breath) mention their mother, father, sister, and any other relative, living or dead.

In the previous threads (one locked and one still going) it seems we have stumbled on an unfortunate soul that was deeply hurt by our collective, dare I say "fun" and laughter. I still remember my mother telling me not to make fun of the kids on the short bus because they are special. I am deeply ashamed, but when someone leaves himself wide open for a verbal abuse, I can't help myself.

I think I am hurt now too. My time is running out, and since I just bought a "full-size" OBX, I'll probably never get to experience the divinity of owning a Raptor because I'll be dead. I don't even know anyone that has one, I have never seen one in person (except the Big Green one on HWY93 driven about 75MPH in the opposite direction by a gorgeous redhead GIRL, mind you, with BIG green eyes, and the roof rack to die for). Sorry,......I meant the Raptor had a fantastic roof rack. Since it was just a blur, I can only imagine the curves of those fenders, the wide stance., and the sound made when you really get into it. And that green! I don't know if the "eruption" is the correct word to describe it. Too bad I'll never have anything like that again.

I too enjoy stirring the pot.
