Default New idea / I call it the Audi Wink

I have a few specialized vehicles (Harley, RV, Rock Crawler,boat, ect.) When driving or riding down the road and encountering someone that has the same style ride, drivers or riders always waive. I had an idea today about a special acknowledgement that Audi owners can give each other when driving down the road.

Since the headlights are so unique on our cars, I though this would be a good time to propose the Audi Wink. Just hit the left blinker partially down and give the oncoming Audi a "what's up"!

Any thoughts?

I think it's a fantastic idea. Would be really cool. Just got to figure out a way to get it to go viral! Eventually, an Audi wink button would come standard.

It's a good idea, I find the "wave" a little too generic. However, by pressing the turn signal lever, even slightly, causes the turn signals to flash 3 times.

...which would no doubt aggravate drivers around you. Nice idea but not practical IMO.

I should have said .... Our "headlights", but I'm sure you got that

I'm going to try it today. Let's see if the Bay Area picks up on it.
