BBQMAN be careful about those "secret signals" if you ever come to southern California.LOL! You may either be mistaken for a gang member or a Lakers fan.

Just be careful not to make the 'secret signal' with your hand on your forehead...

Dont get the "Secret L" by your forehead. People will get people upset around here as they would interpret that as calling them a "LOOSER". Then there is ROAD RAGE to follow, freeway shootings, televised ,high speed pursuits etc.... But look at the bright side, you can sign the rights over to "COPS" or "REAL TV" for millions!!

how bout the secret signal with a chrome thimble on the index. they will think it's a finger silencer, and you've already got the drop on them if i saw a guy in a badass lightning with chrome tipped fingers, i'd just tip my hat, and hope he didn't shoot me.

That's a problem in California. We don't have road rage problems in Texas because here everybody has a gun under the seat.

Down here in TX, we do that anyway. Seriously, I wave or nod to any L owner I see when I'm in my L. Cobra owners typically do the same thing.

if i ever see one, with someone in it, i'll give them the "L" secret signal.

the secret signal is the thumb & index finger on the left hand forming an "L" to passing members of this secret society.
if, you are giving the signal and suddenly suspect the oncoming member to be a poser with "bajiz" or a lightning front bumper, quickly close the "L" signal, and extend middle finger only, cancelling the secret signal.

Mr. MRBBQMAN,

"... cancellation of secret L signal... middle finger" LMAO! Reminds me of the scene in the movie Forbidden Planet where Altaira Morbius instructs the robot Robbie, " Emergency Cancellation Archimedes". I can just see her using the above version. LOL.

BBQ, if you use your LEFT hand to make the secret sign, and your palm is facing toward the other driver, you will see an L but they won't know what the hell the sign means. Suggest you use your RIGHT hand to make the sign. I find it a lot more natural to make the retraction with my right hand, anyway.
