Default DO YOU WAVE TO EVO'S?

After owning a scooby for about 6 months now i'm used to waving and being waved to from other scoobys...............
However i have on the odd occasion been waved to by evo drivers, but when i have waved to evo's i've been met by a glare! lol
Any thoughts?

They are simply acknowledging the Impreza as the superior car ......

Just waft past with a smug face as they are rattled about in their tin-can

I do. After owning my STI for 10mins, pulled into the petrol station to fill up, next bay was an Evo8, gave the nod (as you do), both said nice car, then away we went.
Think its great having this respect to each other, it shows we all have the same love of proper performance cars, just one is better than the other!

I get more waves from Evo drivers than I do from Impreza drivers, so I return the favour, yes.

Wierd, when I was an Evo driver, I could never get used to the fact that other evo drivers were grumpy old gits and never waved at each other. That was what made me get rid of the evo in the end!

Weird really, maybe its just Essex but i get waves from everyone in a performance car,

Scoobys, EVOs, Cossies, Porsches etc, even had a Gallardo flash and wave @ me last week.

Maybe people are not so friendly in other parts of the country

Actually it seems that Evo drivers are generally in Japanese imports, so they tend to be more likely to know a twin-turbo Legacy when they see one.

UK Spec Evo 8 drivers tend to be grumpy gits, half of them are reps these days

Maybe they are warning you of a police speedtrap ahead? That's the only time people wave at me

I never wave unless waved at, it's more a nod of the head thing.

I give the Kenco coffee bean wave to anyone on a mobile phone.

I passed two people who were texting on the way home from work last night.

Would you mind if I did that to you when you exceed the speed limit?

Did he say he was speeding?

I guess the issue is whether it is safer to drive quickly whilst 100% aware of the road conditions or to drive within the speed limits whilst your mind (and your hands) is on your mobile phone or, worst still, on texting with your 'phone.

I personally think the latter is more dangerous.

One other point, I might be a little more accepting of this type of behaviour if they were driving carefully. But much of the time they are travelling as quickly as those who are going faster than observed speed limit anyway! This makes them doubly dangerous.

err no the issue is that the guy saw someone using a mobile phone while driving and feels its ok to give the guy the W ankers sign because of it. Yeah the guy has broken the law but does that give you the right to do that? I dont think so...... plus you might get a good hiding because of it


I was pointing out that if a person does 61mph in a 60 limit should the rest of the world give him the same treatment?

Its not relevant which you think is the most dangerous its more about the reaction to it ... ..........
