Default Scion Love!

It seems that we never see each other when out driving but instead see the "others". But some of us try to make a connection. And sometimes they make contact back. I have even experienced non-SLers who wave before I do...so there must be some Scion Love out there (kinda like VW bus culture in the 60s).

What do you do to greet other Scion owners? Do you? What has been your experience?

Never, cuz everyone I see driving one isn't driving one shows no scion enthusiasism.

Its not like the VW love I have gotten from people driving my dad's GTI.

I wish I knew what was up with that. I pass the same Tc everyday on the way in - and she never waves. Ever. Tried flashing my lights and everything.

she probably thinks you're just trying to get in her pants or something.
some ppl are just rude tho and try to act like they dont see you. i always look stupid waving at other scions cuz they never wave back.

I flash a peace sign lately but once I ended up trying to motion to another box in Hilltop Tacoma. The guy had grillz and looked at me odd. I was hoping that he wasn't thinking I was flashing a gang sign...hehe.

Overall I feel more like a dork waving. I have found a lot of people who wave or peace sign me first or at least reciprocate.

After 4 weeks on jury duty in Tacoma and driving through Puyallup I will say this...they NEVER wave or acknowledge each other. Maybe its just a King County/Seattle/Tukwila/Bellevue thing.

Any thoughts on this. I find KC people almost always smile/wave/ect. and I find that PC people almost never do that (and instead look at me like I'm a crack addict).

I always wave. I'd say only 50% of the time I get waves back. But I figure those I waved too might get the hint and start waving eventually.

Most of those who do wave back, do so enthusiastically.

With the exception of a few that I know personally, every other tC owner I've waved to in Kitsap County give me this look on their face. Sheesus, I'm just trying to be friendly. Idiots. =\

ive had 3 people wave at me. but to be honest i only really notice other xb's. the xa/tc's blend too well in traffic so if they ever waved at me i probably didnt notice.

I just keep waving!! 90% of the time they don't wave back. I may look like a dork to that percentage, but i'm not gonna stop!

I just ordered my ScionLife stickers, so maybe that will help.

I'm quickly realizing that there are Lifer's and Others.

It's not about age, it's about attitude.
