I was next to an xB and went "box box box!!". The guy just looked at me. Usually I see chicks driving tCs, they usually wave back. The chicks in xAs never wave back though. bastards. I passed by FW21 on the road before. I didin't know it was him till i found him on the forum.

If thats your girlfriend in the picture I'd definately wave.
Is that your xB with the double sun roof? It looks good.
Nice pics of Chicago too.

I've tried to wave at a few xB drivers but they act as if they don't see me,so I don't even bother to do anything anymore unless the other person does something to get my attention like a nod or wave then I do the same back to them........

. I'll try to acknowledge you next time. I do tend to get tunnel vision when I drive, but how can I miss another xB. 
You have a fine xB, by the way. I like your double roof, but I'm thinking of getting the panoramic one.

I just bought my XB Tuesday and i have not had any other XB drivers wave at me, just a bunch of confused rednecks wondering what i am driving. On a funny note my wife has a Element and other Element drivers wave at her all the time.

I try to wave..Last week I saw another RS2 to my right on the freeway, tried to get his attention but he was busy looking at his teeth (checking out his fillings?) in the rear view mirror. Another day at an intersection downtown Seattle, saw a Scion who had the green to my left at an intersection that was making a left hand turn that she quickly aborted so as not to get plowed...obviously saving her life was a bigger priority than waving..
In general, I support waving or any generally friendly gesture that will raise the level of civility in this country. Courtesy is contagious!

I give all xBs a wassup of some sort (usually a peace sign from whatever hand is atop the wheel) Most of the xAs around here are old people who just bought the car cause it's cheap. I quit waving at them a long time ago, unless I see some mods, but that has happened exactly once.
Most all xBs whether modded or not are quick to acknowledge, with the exception of this Asian girl I pass about twice a week on my way back from work.
