Can't get a wave?

Been driving by a lot of E63s lately and get no waves back. I even drive slower and try and make eye contact like a wierdo and nothing!

The E46 M3 and C63 guys spread the love... but maybe this car doesn't have the passionate owners those cars do?

Be my friend E63 guys!

Perhaps the E63 crowd is older and more sophisticated?

On a similar note, I stopped at a light yesterday beside a BMW 1M, which I always tought was a great piece of car. I rolled down my window to give a "thumbs up" to the guy. He looks at me with despise and leaves the light real fast. I didn't even give him a chance to look at the back of my car... what a douche!

I'm not sure exactly what it is but I get remarkably little grief on the road in the E63. Few people cut me off, no one tries to out accelerate me from a light, people let me in when merging etc. I wonder if it's the 'big benz' thing, just the look of the car or something because not everyone is going to know what it really is.

'12 E63 Wagon
Try a de-badged E63 wagon with tinted exhaust tips.

Most people are probably surprised the driver of my car is male (the 1/2 time my wife isnt driving).

That said, if the Corvette crowd can be as diplomatic and wave-happy as they are, I sure would hope E63 drivers could be.

Maybe "sophisticated" is the enemy?

As a fellow AMG owner if I see anything nice on the streets that looks like it has had its own poster I give a thumbs up. Usually I get a nice smokey burnout if I've got the camera on me.

It is way more subtle looking car than my 911TT which was like driving a target whether a rice burner or camero... always someone wanting to race which I NEVER do. Now in my E63S I am never challenged which I like.

But I notice a difference even from our ML350... the soccer mom SUV gets cut off all the time and has to earn its space on the road.. Not so in the E it seems!
