How often should you expect others road users with similar (not even the same) cars to say hello. Naturally we salute other scooby users, but this morning I had a thumbs up from an Evo and it would seem that generally you get a wave from anyone in a Japanese turbo car.....

 

Sure that was a thumbs up and not another gesture he was making lol

 

I saw an Evo driver the other day, in sliver Evo 3 i think, we just glared at each other.

I find only classic drivers put there hand up to you, unless your driving a sport they ignore you, only odd Newage Impreza's put there hand up, and no hatches bother at all.

Which i'm really glad

Impreza's i ignore, stickered up messes, i completely blank them

 

Being 21 and my previous two cars being 15 year old BMW's, i've gotten use to everyone presuming you're a d**k. Owned the 05 STI for 2 weeks now and last Saturday on a run I had another Subaru driver give me a thumbs up. It felt so strange being acknowledged and was a really nice little gesture of appreciation. 20 minutes later saw a lovely classic and we preceded to give each other a nice nod of approval!

 

It's when your passenger turns and looks at you like you are a total idiot and asks "really?" That you start to feel a bit ridiculous lol

 

Haha
i did this laat night just to see my passengers reaction

He burst out laughing haha

 

No the most daft is when you have driven Scoobies for literally years and then you finally change to something else and for the first 6 months you keep waving to Scoobs and getting a bemused look from the driver wondering why someone in a massive Jag just waved at them

 

Haha, even my kids n wife will give the customary scooby wave if they are sat in the front passenger seat.

Lots of scoobies round my way return the gesture, be it a nod, thumbs up, wave, flash of headlights etc. and that's across all models of impreza.

 

My passengers are normally women and they ask who was that lol

 

Mate , you really have to venture out without your mum

 

 

Who said anything about my mum

 

I love it.
Always puts a little smile on my face.
Was pooling down the motorway yesterday when a classic came up behind me and gave me a wave, so I waved back and sped up so we could drive in convoy for about 20miles

 

And it is your duty to put your foot down and A) show the other guy what your car can do and B) satisfy their urge of seeing a turbo charged car caining it, lol

 

It's all very, very sad.

IMO.

 

Lol but do we care.....**** no

 

Must admit I've never done the wave thing. My girlfriend wet herself when I explained why someone in a similar car waved at me. She spots an Impreza now and starts laughing saying "come on wave" to me.

Worst one is riding a motorcycle, be bikes everywhere certain days and you get that sideways nod.

Be like waking down the street waving at everyone wearing Nike trainers!

 

I've only had my scooby a few months and it really tickles me when people wave.

Carry on IMO, it's good to see some appreciation for your choice in car.

 

Girl in Subaru will definitely get more waves

I think its pretty decent to be honest, nothing wrong with a bit of communion in this fragmented country.

 

 

If I am waved at I will put my hand up, but I don't generally notice until it's too late.
What bemuses me is why my wife scorns at impreza drivers waving while in our impreza, but she seems fine with mk1 golf cab owners waving if we are in that.
