New subaru owners

Alright here is my rant: What is with all these new subaru owners not waving or acknowledging other subies on the road. I see it all the time now. I will wave or throw up the deuces and I get mean mugging back. I rememeber when I first got my bugeye back in 06, the first day I drove it a subie guy high beamed me during the day to say whats up while i was stopped at a light. And then the coutless people that would slow down and acknowledge me. Now a days its nothing like that. And before people say that the cars are getting cheaper and the kiddies are getting ahold of them, I have noticed its mostly the older drivers late 20s+. Anyone else notice the same or is it just me?

Yes this required a new thread. My rant is very important haha.

Since i got my car I can count on 1 hand how many times someone has actually threw me the V. For some odd reason I notice more Evo owners acknowledge me then Subaru's. Everytime I run into another STi/WRX it always ends up being who has a bigger dick on the road...

Half the time I throw the V ppl just give me a blank look so sometimes I dont even bother unless they are modded.

Same here. The V has only been exchanged a VERY few times.

GR's are the most unfriendly of all the Impreza drivers... At least what I've noticed. I always get waves from everyone but GRs...


I blame Huck.

Weird, IME i get more waves or V's from GR owners - prolly cause I drive the same car?

If anything it's the young looking folks in the 02-05's that ignore me. I assume those are prolly teens that bought the now affordable used subaru's...

Now, I will admit that I don't bother to wave at the 2012 imprezas....already waved at 2 or 3 and just got ignored or blank states LOL!

I rarely see any enthusiasts, mostly bug or blog eye drivers with minor mods that never acknowledge another Subaru in their presence. I havent got any acknowledgement's from a GR driver. . .maybe 1.

I wave at mostly every subie I see. Get lots of mean mugs and WTF faces. Than there is the occasional V exchange that makes it all worth it.

<---MY01

other GM or GC owners do more than wave, they try to talk to me

But I do agree its no longer a cult car since we have rally drivers in empty parking lots for commercials.

Back in the day we had these kinds of commercials
