anyway that's how i acknowledge scion owners.

That's random, but cool.

I mean how often does a great car like this come along? A car with hot style, a plethora of standard features, good gas mileage/acceleration combo, and an awesome price? So, I will not let killjoys like you [there's one in every crowd] deter me from a friendly toot and wave to other cool tC drivers.
I come from the Jeep Wrangler world where it's pretty much mandatory to do the "Jeep Wave" when passing a fellow Jeeper. Sometimes its a half salute, sometimes a nod, but most always a gaint wave. Kinda like a Harley thing.
I tried the same with some of my Scion brethren regardless of XA, XB, or TC, but since it seems like most are younger than me they probably think it would sullen thier rep to be waving to a crazy guy in a TC.
We need a SCION WAVE! :D

Anyway, I wave at fellow Scion owners that I see driving down the road. I see Scion ownership as a community of people with the same great taste in cars.
*waves to everyone*

Maybe we should institute a "Fight Club"-type head nod as the 'Official tC Acknowledgment Gesture'...
1. Turn head (either left or right). Take a full 2 seconds to do this. Nice and slow.
2. Have a stern look on your face when looking at fellow tC driver. (Eyes kind of squinty.)
3. Nod your head. Take a full second or 2 to do this. Again, nice and slow.
4. Turn head back to normal position. Take 2 seconds again. Its all in the delivery!
5. Drive off!
Rule#1 We do not talk about tC Fight Club.
Rule#2 Refer to Rule#1.

since i live in fresno, most people who have Tc's are girls, i dont wave, they would get all nervous and think your going to stalk them
I usually open my eyes as wide as possible in astonishment and try to act like I thought I was the only one on the road with the xA. They usually flip me the finger before they speed away. I like it when they do that.

toot (verb): To sound a horn or whistle in short blasts
poot (verb): To pass gas or fart
I haven't noticed enough of a tC culture around here (or hell, enough tC's for there to be a culture), so there's no tC wave around here. But when I'm driving my Jeep Wrangler I wave to other Wrangler drivers, and when I'm riding my motorcycle I wave at other motorcyclists. Of course, the Harley dudes are all too cool and don't wave back. *******.
