I usually beep at them Although, I've only seen 3 others here in town................

 

i give them the 1 finger salut! j/k


havent seen much in my area

 

back in the day, when i first got mine ( in june of 2003) i used to wave at everyone, but now that everyone has them, they don't wave back as much, so i just flash my lights or beep at them.

 

I give them alittle toot on the horn :D

 

I havn't seen one up here in portland other than mine yet...

 

I usually give 'em on of these......followed by a honk...

 

I used to wave and/or honk.. but lately the kids that are running with mods just run to catch up to me, then run past me revving high. :?

Notice I said kids.. the adults with the mods are pretty cool and give the ol' "head nod" *wassup*

 

It's times like this I miss Subaru community. Everyone was so tight. All the WRX owners acknowledged and greeted each other. It sounds geeky. But, it didnt' matter! geeky looking ones, cool looking ones, everyone was happy that there are people who understood the cool factor of little subie's all wheel drive tour-de-force.

When I got a Civic Si, I thought Civic community will be bunch of ricers. But, to my surprise, Evryone was very into cars and although not as tight as Subaru community, it was really cool to be part of Si community.

Now I have Scion. And I thought this will become the tightest community ever. I mean... what other cars like this exist in America? The owners of Scion have to be a uniques bunch of people who understand what it means to be different.... That was my thought. Ah... but, to my surprise, I have yet to meet a Scion owner who are happy to see another fellow Scion driver. How wrong I was!!!! Most of Scion people I met on the road gives you that weird look when I wave at them. They are more busy checking out what kind of mod I have on my car.... as if they are comparing if they have more. A lot of times, they don't even acknowledge me!!! And through this forum, I have a feeling that a lot of Scion buyers and people who are interested in Scion are more into looks and being different than having a sense of belonging to a community or learn about cars. I say this with full benefit of doubt to Scion owners... I know that neither Xa or Xb was born to be a performance tuners car. I know that they were specifically marketed after people who want something different. But, I believe this desire in people to be too different is what's causing all this unfriendliness.

Oh well.... so.... How about if we come up with Scionlife.com only salute! Not something that involves two hands sign like that gang sign... (blood... is it?). How about just opening index and middle finger to salute? (oh wait, that's same as the middle finger gesture in England)

Whaddaya think? SUggestions?

 

man... i havent even seen another scion but one xA... just one can you believe it but when i saw him we both gave a big wave and smile and to me it felt pretty cool but yall are lucky to even get to see other scions at norm... ive heard about them popping up everywhere where i live but i have yet to see one maybe its cause i have one. i hope the people around here will be enthusiatic and at least wave back

 

I have yet to see another one on the road.

 

very well said.i also have yet come acrsoss another scion owner who has waved back or has beeped back when i have but yesterday on my way home i was stoped at a red light and along side me pulled up a HOT LAVA i was soo excited i have never seen one in person so i waved hi and he atleast smiled at me

 

 

where can i buy one

 

I've seen 2 xb's in san marcos and one xa on I-35 on my way into San Antonio. Both xb drivers were pretty up there in age(no doubt the result of the sales practices of our scion dealer, my friends and I were completely ignored for well over 30 mins, which is when we hit the flashers/honked the horns on the demo, in favor of some middle age customers) and driving around with smug looks on their faces. And the xa's tint was too dark for me to see them.

 

no one gives love to the xA. Everytime I try and wave to the xb's they think their better than me or something. They ignore me and speed up or slow down or change lanes or something cold.

 

not true i gave some love to an xA not like that tho

 

Maybe they think you're a matrix? ::runs away::

 

Moon!

 

usually if we make eye contact I'll usually smile and give a friendly wave or peace sign. Usually they'll wave back, ive received a couple odd looks from older folks with scions, but for the most part they'll wave back. i saw 2 guys yesterday with moded xBs one in the Los Alamitos area and the other when i was on my way to work on the 5 south sittin in traffic. my car looks kinda rice right now though, i got some new wheels and the fronts dont fit over my brake callipers and i didnt find that out till i had already put on the rears. so i am running 2 of my new wheels in the back and stockies in the front. heres a pic of my new wheels.



dont be afraid to wave back if ya see mee im not a ricer. just need to get some spacers real quick.

 

I either nod, or give them the peace "V" sign
