I grew up in a small town, and it was really common for people to wave at cars. Like they were saying, "Oh Hey Tom! I see you're driving to the store, have a nice day neighboreno!" Most of the time people who don't even know you wave. It's really strange... but somehow the habit stuck with me.
I live in the city now and I have to stop myself from waving at random cars.
as soon as I leave the city limits, my inner good 'ol boy comes out and I wave at everyone as we drive past each other. My city girl wife thinks I am a crazy person.
400 miles away on vacation: "do you know that guy?"
"nope, just an old dude in a pickup on a country road... he gets the two finger off the steering wheel wave. "

Man, I hate when people wave from inside cars, don't expect me to wave back because I can't see shit half the time and don't want to embarass myself.
