Subaru Wave

Does this tradition not exist in Southern Cali? I could pretty much count on it in Hawaii but here noone ever returns the wave. I just get return looks like im some child rapist.

Never tried it I guess. Though I did once have a frienly Impreza driver while pumping gas. Though I am in PA.

I wave, but usually only if it's an LGT or STI or maybe a modded WRX. It seems a lot of Outback owners aren't really into their cars much.

 

...wait, you're in socal - haven't you seen crash??? People don't like eachother down there

a few rainbow stickers should get you waves from some certain subie drivers

I rarely get any love from WRX owners, i usually just have them roll up on me to check me out and thats it..

 

And it seems that of the few legacy drivers i see oustide of forum members arent very friendly

+1 I almost never see any legacys out there. Crazy since apparently there are alot around my area. I've had sti & wrx guys check out my car but they usually wanna race or something & that aint me.

same for me except i have only seen sti guys in situations when i would want to race and they probably would also but we are on the opposite sides of the street or something that prohibits me from having fun...

I have found that most of the legacy drivers I encounter and wave to won't respond unless they're, say, under 35 or so. oh, and male. I have never been waved to by a woman driving a legacy. and they usually look angry. *shrug*

That is because of the complimentary sand that comes in the limiteds leather seats..

That explains the chaffing

I used to work the gate at a swim club. I always wanted to ask the moms how they liked their Legacy or if they had had the same problems I had. Usually they were preoccupied with their kids though so I never did. However, the driver of '95 L wagon was a very nice lady. I always felt bad having a GT at age 16 and here she was 35, driving a purple L wagon.

I give/get waves from STi's and modded WRXs all the time in my area. Not many LGTs around though.

Have any of you become friends with anybody (say at work or something) because you both have subarus? I've become pretty good friends with this woman where I work, due in no small part to the fact that when I was talking about buying my LGT she mentioned that she owns an 05 obxt.

Of the few LGTs that I've seen and waved/flahed beams to they all (4) waved back. I never wave at "other" subies unless they wave first. Well, unless it's my step-mom, she just bought a forrester. The "rainbow" folk don't generally give salutations unless you display the rainbow markings on your subie:icon_tong

i posted the same thing in so cal spotted thread. like i said in that thread, i wave and all i get is the finger.. older guy, soccer mom, a guy my age (mid 30's) all gave me the finger... or thought i was crazy..

 

 

oh well..

So far, the Subaru owners in Dallas and Austin are pretty cool. Since I'm still driving my Honda (1 more month!!!), they still roll down their windows and chit chat with me. I ran across some Forester owners but they just keep rolling. (older crowd I guess). Legacies are rare around DFW though. Plenty of WRX/RS/STI variants though.

I usually get a "WTF was that, I'm so confused!" look from STi/STI/WRX drivers.

 

But more than a few have returned the wave.

 

The difference in %-response is amazing, though, when I drive my wifey's Rex. Everyone waves - even without me initiating.

last time i was in florida i waved at somebody in a legacy, they looked at me like i was nuts... then i remembered i was driving a rental car

Nobody waves to me any more

*sniff*

I don't see many WRX/STI/LegacyGTs around my part of the world. I did get a wave back from one WRX with some super fat dude driving it. But for the most part people just look at me as if I were totally insane. I think before you buy a subaru you should have to sign something saying you understand and will initiate/respond to the wave. LOL

I have never gotten a wave back from any females... sad

I can hardly get other Porsche drivers (Especially newer ones) to wave back to me when I'm in my 911. I never even think to wave when driving the LGT.

Don't see any Legacy's in my town to wave out to see if they would wave at me. Can't understand it since we have a dealer here but have never seen another one but mine. That's okay with me, at least I'm unique.

It seems to be about 50/50 with some big surprises. I only go out of my way with STi, WRX (modded) and LGTs. I saw a dude the other day at the grocery store parking lot with a Bugeye, modded with some decals (thought he was going to be a dick). Talked to him and he was really cool. An older guy in a 06 WRX wagon gave me a wave. Got a nod from a LGT. It seems, in SoCal that the WRX is 50%, STi is around 30% and the LGT, FWIW, is about 75%. I don't bother with OBs or Foresters.
