"Opened Eyes"

**Firebird Phoenix** · 02-24-2010, 10:41 AM

I'm not sure what else to call this, but on my way home from school yesterday a 98-02 Firebird opened/closed its headlights at me. I quickly looked around to see if there was another Firebird in the area as I was driving my Fiero...I found it entertaining, and wish I reacted quick enough to do the same with my headlights lol.

Anyone else have this happen to them or do it to others?

maybe he was warning you of a cop lurking ahead...i know in texas thats usually what it means..but then he could be just recognizing a fellow pontiac....sorta like bikers throwin down the peace sign when they pass another bike.....

yea i always slow down when flashed....90% of the time its 5-0 waitin ahead...but if you do decide to warn people in this manner, beware....its illegal as hell! lol

I wouldn't flash in this manner with my hawk.... the headlights are finicky enough as it is

less wear and tear the better!

Maybe it was hungry?

I was cruising on a nice day and since the bird is radar equipped I don't trip too much, but I seen a mini can comming towards me one day flashin his lights like crazy, and I was like what the hell...... Then I was like maybe a cop is hiding... Sure enough I seen a cop in the brush.... I forgot people even did that anymore.

I used to have a Puertorican buddy whom had an old Toyota of some sort with hideaways that were on toggles. He used to make it wink @ if we pasted eachother on the streets in opposite directions. Or he would make them "blink" undependantly lol. I thought it was pretty cool back then..

I don't think it was a instance of "light flashing" like some ppl do if there is a cop ahead (I didn't see one) as the guy was looking my direction as I drove after doing that with his headlights. *shrug*
