In N.Y. we don't wave much but we have no problems waving that middle finger boy! so no matter what you'll always get one or the other wave from me ... LoL

 

HEY HEY HEY!!! Let's not be comparing our beloved Scions to those Honda has-beens!!!



I'm old, I wave. As for the young ladies out there, maybe they're afraid of having "friendly" confused with "interested'?

 

I love this state. I am a waver of both kinds as well .

 

I wave. Why not? And I pass out cards, for SCION Evolution...It's like a club, owning a SCION.

 

I use to pass xB's so often driving around. Now that I've got mine, I've yet to see one to wave at...

Here in california though, I wouldn't be surprised if the person I waived to thought I was giving him a more "aggressive" gesture.

 

I always wave to fellow corvette owners, especially fellow Z06 owners
this is a known tradition with corvette owners, old and young alike.. not sure the scion community is made up of mostly enthusiasits... around here there are not many scions to wave to... and BTW, I am old.

 

Be realistic, your only middle-aged if you plan to live to 100.

Maybe you believe the old saying, "Your only as old as the woman you feel" or something like that.

I'm only joking with you, I turn 50 soon.

 

WoW

 

 

i used to have a orange-yellow vw bus (westy camper) and everywhere i drove that thing around the country others in a vw bus would always wave, except on a couple of occasions (must have been too old - heheh... just a little joking there).
i just got an xB and i have yet to pass another one on the road. i don't know, with all this discussion about waving i'm all nervous now and wondering if i'll wave or not.
but you wave at me i'll certainly wave back!

 

I saw an xB every day when I was driving my last car. I have had my bue box for over two weeks and have never even come close to another Scion, except a white tC that I was behind at a light...sad to say I couldn't tell it was a Scion because it doesn't look different from a regular car...oops...

 

Heh.

OK, I'm am old fart (working on my 59th year) and living where I do I don't see many Scions at all. Those few I do see I always try to acknowledge. Usually I get a smiling wave back.

Then there are the rare ones who wouldn't acknowledge the second coming if it happened on their hood...

Two slots down from where I park at my apartment is another xB. A nice looking one that's always clean and shiny.

Mine is PW with military veteran plates, his is TCM with military base stickers. For some odd reason the few times I've seen him he will look neither left nor right, will acknowledge nothing and no-one, won't even grunt back if we both park and get out of our xB's at the same time and I greet him.

Oh, well.

I've waved to others driving "cars like mine" whenever I've been driving something relatively rare - my MG's, my Porsche, etc. Over the years, most others have waved back, happy to see another who appreciated their ride.

Somehow we seem to have lost some of this in our society/culture over the years. These days, in some neighborhoods at least, indiscriminate waving, light-flashing, or honking can get one shot. Maybe that's why some don't respond? I dunno.

 

Thanks for the help, Geritol it is then. Now I feel like waving at all cars, trucks and vans. :D

 

Odd. I live in a large metro area too, and I have yet to pass another xB coming the other way to wave or flash the lights at. But I can tell you in my BMW, no one waves. I wave at other M3's or other nice looking ones, never a wave back. Like "I'm too good to wave to you", or something. But hell, I'm driving the same kind of car they were !!

In my old MGB...........EVERYONE waved !! I think the xB will be about 70% wave---30% no wave.

 

I nod to those who nod at me. I don't go around waving at people, I don't want them to think I am some kind of psycho.

I see a mixture of people driving around here, mostly a lot of young people. Also, most of them are male drivers, the women are like me, somewhat young moms (in their 30's).

Of course I think I ____ off the mini van drivers who are of the "older" generation with my frame that states, "Because MiniVans Suck!" They always pass me up as if they beat me because it took them ten minutes to catch up to me after I passed them in the first place. WHATEVER!

Here's to all the Scion owners...{nod, nod, nod}

Tammie

 

i guess the reason why people look for a nod or a wave is like someone said b4....there are few around....so its nice to see that others have made a good choice like you did. Its not like a prom dress that if the next girl has it on you throw a drink on her. I guess in a way were a not so secret society. I wave honk my horn and pull up and say nice car to other xb xa and tc owners and Im 23....so i guess im in the young bracket i hope! how long would it take to wave? just have fun...it is still a FUN CAR?

 

So true. So true.

The middle finger salute!

 

We used to call this the "Jeep Wave" back when I had my old CJ-7 Jeep, but it was much better because regardless of what Jeep you drove everyone of every age would wave back, especially the CJ and Wrangler owners. The least likely to wave back were the snobs in the gold-trimmed Grand Cherokees.

The funniest part it the mini-cooper owners who wave and give a thumbs up.

Just keep up the xB wave, it will catch on...

 

I have passed a few other boxes on the highway we each gave each other a nod as we passed each other.

 

I was on my way home today on Mission Blvd and saw the same color box as mine, but w/out the spoiler. Looks like he just bought it recently since there were no plates. He ended up in the left turn lane and I kept going straight, he honked and I waved out the window...not like a psycho or anything, just a non-chalant "hey wuzzup wave". And it felt good, too! I smiled all the way home, I felt I was in some secret Scion club. COOOLLLLLL!!!

Finally, I get to wave instead of nod this time!

Peace!
