![Question](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Whenever the other half's driving the scoob, she normally gives a quick flash of the lights to other Impreza's followed by a wave if they reciprocate.
She refuses to do this to Sport drivers - No Bonnet Scoop = No Wave. This is usually followed by a phrase containing the word "Cheapskate".
Is this common? How many Turbo / WRX / STi drivers are a bit stuck up?

You do get some that wave, I usually find that if I flash and wave first I get a response. I think after talking to a couple of turbo owners that arn't on here most look for the bonnet scoop, I look the for the fog lights.

I don't wave at sports anymore cause they never wave back.

When I owned a Sport I used to wave at turbo's etc with mixed results....
Now I have an STI, most sports/GL's do not wave back.... so I tend not to bother unless I see the scoop...
Sorry...

Myself I usually only flash to other Impreza's - first thing I usually notice is the fog lamps.

Usually old biddies in GLs round by me.
I dont want to be flamed BUT Sports and GLs are more likely to be owned by "general public" (i.e. non-enthusiasts). I don't bother waving at them now. I will gladly wave if they wave me first tho !!!

I flash and wave to every impreza. I'm not a snob! I think the ones that don,t flash or wave don't actually know what day it is, let alone what they are driving.

Have to agree: no scoop = no wave!
Must admit though that i've never been waved at by a sport owner anyway, its usually some old puffin without a clue.![Wink](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I do struggle to see the point of non-turbos. Its all the drawbacks without the benefits. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

I tend to wave at classic turbo's, WRX's and STi's and also Bugeye's but i find that people in new shaped scoobys most look at me as if i'm off my head, if they wave first i reply though!

I'll wave if waved to! Unfortunately I'm fed up of looking like a prize pr!£k when I wave & get no response, I do usually look for a scoop however! I have to say that when I wave to new age folk round about me (Edinburgh) seem to look at me as if I'm an alien or sommat!?! Maybe there's something folk aren't telling me........

Wed night i saw two W1's coming up pool bank near Otley, Flash - Wave????
No responce from first.
Feeling a bit stupid ( who is this pratt waving and flashing me in his little sti )
I saw the next W1 30 seconds later, Flash - Wave????
Not a sausage.
Come on you W1 owners give us a wave go on give us one just a little one.
I try and flash and wave at every impreza and get a mixed responce from the none tubo drivers.
I like it its like the little nod you give when ridding a motorbike, it makes you feel good.
When you wave and get nothing it makes you feel like a d1ck.
No responce from first.

I bought my sport cos I wanted a scooby and couldn't afford the turbo. So its not as fast, big deal. Still has great handling and AWD.
