The Volvo greeting? 700

I was driving home from work the other day in my 780, and exchanged glances with a 240 owner at one point on the highway. This got me to thinking. There's a sense of loyalty and even comradery among volvo owners, especially those of us in the RWD days. So is there a formal greeting?

I grew up around Jeeps, another tightly knit group. They go all out, left hand out the door opening at 8 O'Clock. I'm also a bus driver. You better believe we all wave. Sometimes we even hang out the window hoping for a successful high five. I think the Volvo begs for something a little more subtle, dare I say smug. Thus, I offer a few suggestions, feel free to add some cantidates.

1) 2 finger salute, horizontal from the right temple outward rotating at wrist.
2) Large downward nod, turned so you focus to the left of your a-pillar to the oncoming comrade.
3) Perhaps a couple of quick toots of the horn? That major third is very unique, and I do enjoy it. There is an identity to the horn.

Should we reserve something something more minimal for the distant Saab cousins?
