how come when ever i see another xb owner drivin down the road i wave to them but i hardly ever get a wave or smile back, most of the time its a mad dog look or some thin like it. i also have a 1966 malibu and every person i pass with a classic car ALWAYS WAVES or gives me some kind of good jesture why cant xb drivers do the same? any thoughts to you mad doggers out there why you are so rude?

 

Because MANY of the people that buy them don't follow through with the culture and "family" that many of the people here on SL do. I see the same thing around here... I see a tC occasionally and a few boxes... but many of the people just buy them b/c they're affordable and dependable vehicles.

 

noticed the same here iv pasted a few xB's and some tC's and ill throw my hand up and wave but i get nothing but a stare as i pass it kinda gets on my nerves but o well i guess im not the only person that gets that reaction

 

I've noticed it too. I have to agree with ack154, most people don't care that you have the same make or model of car. To them it's just a tool to get them from point A to point B.

When you find someone that does wave it makes it that much more special.

 

I have stopped waving, its no fun anymore.
I still give a head nod, if they're friendly they'll see it, if the are not its subtle enough so I don't feel like an A-hole

 

my windows are 5% so im sure if im waving it looks like im flipping you off, so i dont even try.........

 

I guess Scion owners use their cars to get from point xA to point xB.........

 

If you want a wave-back bad enough, you could just follow them and keep waving until you force them to wave back.

 

well i think waving could be interpeted in many different ways(depends on a person's state of mind at that moment) specially when someone just had a horrible day at work and wants to go home and relax....

what i like to do is stare at their car and if they notice me looking at their scion i smile, nod, and throw up a peace sign.... ive got nothing but good response

 

How exactly are u waiving????????...
Is it like a ___ wave??????........come to think of it any wave looks ___......
These days not many younger ppl wave, they chunk dueces.....
Thats y the older car owners wave....
This is how to chunk a duece


Do it and see what happens....

 

usually I pull them over bang their head against the hood and go ..."you wave now"......,,,if that doesn't work I shoe them in the.......

 

Exactly right Chad. It was cool in the beginning to wave because back then people were buying them for the "LOVE" of the car. Now they have become nothing more than "shall I say it?"an Appliance. And that is sad. I still wave anyhow. I don't see enough of them yet to stop. Guess it's the motorcyclist in me.

 

 

That's odd. Every box driver I've gone by waves, and I wave as well.

Southern people are just cool like that I guess ( being from the northeast, those people don't give a rats ___)

 

I usually wave, almost always get at least a smile or look of surprise, Scions are still few and far between here on my side of town.

 

When I first bought mine and there were only a few riding around we just about always waved to each other, Now that there more common im not getting it as much. I always wave regardless though.

Ive noticed the younger generations wave more then the older ones

 

who cares if they drive the same car as you? they dont..........

 

Thats what Im sayin.....I freaked out when someone waived at me when I first had the box.....
I think the whole waivin thing is lame......
Sure its friendly but is anyone friendly these days??

 

^ Yes, there are still people who are not too cool or too tough to be friendly.

 

I was driving around last night and got my first wave...I felt so special, never owned a car where people would wave.
