Haha, what great imagery!! I just imagined driving down the road, then seeing another tC, getting ready to wave, when all of a sudden a massive foam hand is popping out waving at me....heheheheheh

 

Well out here in GM country i usually get at least 2 people giving me the finger daily when they see my car. In fact, i had a guy pull up to me at a light yesterday and tell me my car sucks... i saw a scion xb a few weeks ago (few and far between) and i waved because it was a suprise and the guy didnt even acknowledge me.. i felt like a

 

that sucks man... but they only persecute us because they recognize what's good in their hood

 

i would give them a thumbsup if i liked their setup...and i would prolly throw up the peace sign if u waved at me..nothing wrong w/waving. it's about time we got some friendly peeps on the road

 

yes, but i usually give a head nod

 

when i first got my tc i took it to sonic(dive in if ya dont know lol) ans when i was leaving i got flashes by 3 girls ina jetta! that was the happiest day of my life

 

we're talking headlight flashes, right?

 

lol no ya know what i mean

 

lucky lucky guy....

 

thats how i met a girl around here lol

 

Today at a traffic light there was guy in a Blue Onyx Pearl xB who was in the lane to the right. We were both looking a bit at each other's car for about four seconds, and then waved hello.

At first I thought it was an older Dodge Caravan, but then I recognized the height of the car, and the design of the A-frame .

 

of course i would wave to anotehr scion...everytime i see a tc i call them a friend lol...and any other scion car they are distant cousins lol

 

In my community, there's 2 other tCs and only 1 of them wave back. I've driven by and waved and they just give me a stare. What's up with that? Jeeps have it. Bikes have it. Why can't tC's have it?

 

i heard wrxs have it in my school area

 

I wave when they look like semi-compentent owner... half the time its some old lady with her nose stuck in the airbag, the other half want to race... FYI kids.. I dont race... its only got 160hp... not exactly a corvette here.

 

haha, nice one about the nose in the airbag..........but yeah, i tend to look for a set of tinted windows b/c that's kind of a hint that they are somewhat young......my mom has 50% tint and i have 35 and 20.....big difference.

 

As far as the 'tint % vs. age' theory goes, there's always exceptions to the rule - I'm 47 and have 30%. I'm also dropped, have a sub, and undercar LEDs, etc; hit my profile. If I didn't just drop a HUGE check for my son's first semester at college, I'd be rollin' on 19s right now too. Age is relative. I've seen a lot of posts where you 'youngsters' mention 'old people' driving Scions, and I have to agree - I commute 45 miles each way to work on the Mass Pike, and don't see a whole lot of Scions in general. However, when I do, I check to see who's drivin' and see if there will be any kind of 'family' acknowledgement. I would wave or nod, but I don't recall ever having anybody really even look over - as somebody mentioned before, some people just aren't on the same page as we are. Most Scions I've seen on the Pike are stock, and I've been surprised a lot at the age too, especially by xB drivers - it's an old guy, what the??? (I wonder if anybody thinks the same when they see me?) Just wanted to let you know all us old folk ain't so bad - I'll wave if somebody's checkin' me out. Holla at ya boy, yo!

 

hahaha, nice. Yeah, it's the same around here with the xBs. It's either old (60+) men and women or some fat "thug" white kid. Not much customization around my area for them. The tCs around here are also not really modified other than maybe a lip kit and rims. I am sticking with my 17's and just working on power upgrades and suspension. The 17's are plenty for me and what I like is that alloy color when clean, and gun metal look when getting hazy. Goes good with the Flint Mica paint clean or dirty

 

Thats awesome!!!

 

Rochester? I'll actually be spending some time out your way soon - my son starts at RIT on the 27th. Unfortunately, we'll be driving up in the wife's Caravan - tough to fit a fridge and all the rest of his crap in the tC, know what I mean? I'll keep an eye out for ya - if you see an 'old guy' in a red Caravan waving at you, you'll know it's me.
