Default What do you do when you see another tC?

When I bought my tC last year, I didn't see many on the road. Now, I see at least 3-5 a day. So tell me, what do you do when you see another tC on the road?

I usually try to catch a glimpse of who's driving the car, hoping it's a hot chick. Anyways that's not the point. I feel odd trying to see who's in the car because if they're looking back (and you know you guys do!), I don't wanna make eye contact and feel like we're staring each other down or something. On the otherhand, it'd be odd to see me throw on a big fat smile and wave. Laugh if you know what I mean...

Yea, I'm stuck in traffic all day so I'm always tryin to catch a glimpse of the cars next to me, but don't want people to think I'm like staring or weird. haha

Don't see too many here... but I usually try to see if it's someone worth waving to.

I do the same thing.. the cool thing is that there are 2 really hot chicks that drive tCs that I always see on the road.

One of them will never even glance to the side, she just stares forward very serious-like.

The other one is cool, I talked to her an a stoplight once and she complimented my TV/DVD setup.

I try to wave. I find other tC owners are as personable as xB owners. Riding with my friend in his xA he waves as oethr A's and B's all the time, generally people wave back. I have yet to see a C wave to us in his car, or in mine.

i see alot of them.. and i try to wave (at any scion, including xA's and xB's).. but most of them just continue on looking ahead as if nothing happened... then you run into older folks that drive scions, and yeah.. most of them will just ignore you... you get that alot up in norcal. much different culture down south.. i'll tell ya.

btw... where in san jose are you at? i'm up quimby rd. i might've seen your car before driving around.. you ever go out to the meets we have around here?

I will give the other tc driver a finger haaa, j/k ;)

I usually pay all my attention on the road, never try to wave or doing anything strange.

I usually see 2-3 tc, 1-2 xA and 2-3 xB everyday

There aren't many tC's here yet, I've only seen about 5 different ones. I see one maybe once every 2 weeks. My boss' son drives one of them, and the rest were all driven by girls. I've only seen 2 xA's, one driven by a girl and then Mrs_Scion_XA's. I see xB's just about daily, mostly driven by older guys. I don't wave, but I'm always curious to see who else drives scions around here.

I honestly see so many everyday that it would be impossible to wave or do anything special. Not like its an odd car anymore, unfortunatly.

Swerve and accelerate!

Just kidding. If I can get their attention, I'll put out a friendly wave, pretty modest. I have formed a friendship with some guy who drives a Flint Mica on my road many mornings. I waved to him one day when I saw him on my drive to school, he didn't wave back probably because it didn't register-- now, we wave every time we see each other. I want to talk to him, since I can hear his non-stock exhaust.

You know it's weird, before I got my tC I would see a bunch of other tCs, but now that I have my tC I hardly see any while on the road. *shrugs* Feel free to wave if anybody sees me.

i tend to ignore most Scion owners, especially the tC ones.
just cuz most ppl in my area are dueches, so instead of waving they make u-turns and try to race me....gets annoying

Usually i just drive along normally, maybe try to see whos driving it. around here theres like 6 hot chicks that drive them, and like 1 or 2 guys.

one night on a main road in town i was just driving and minding my own business, when i saw some guy that just bought his NBM, in fact i was at the dealer when he was picking it up, and he saw me and started ricing around. ____ing loser.

Here in NYC the culture is a bit different. Looking at someone is a no no and waving will get you killed, lol.
