Re: No flashing

It doesn't work in Georgia or Texas, either.  :(

Rather than flash headlights, I blink my emergency flashers three times.
This works for people coming at me and behind me.  Only person who
ever responded was Luis Marques, another lister.  One time I pulled next
to a guy in an Audi Cabriolet and gave him a thumbs up, and he returned it,
with a big ole grin.  :-)

Those are the only two times, out of the many I've tried, that I have
gotten responses from other Audi owners.  One time I was walking around
campus and saw an '84 Coupe GT pull out in front of me.  I yelled "Nice
car!", and he screamed back, "It's a piece of <expletive deleted>!!"

So, I keep trying, but don't expect any response.
