You know, I try to wave or give a hand signal (a friendly one!) to other suby owners if I see 'em...I don't discriminate against rs owners or anything else.

I think its kind of funny how I have tried to give these friendly greetings to STi drivers and have been resoundingly ignored.

I guess sti implies you are "above" us "regular" wrx drivers....
kinda sad I think.

just a little ranting and an observation.

anybody seen something like this?

any sti owners care to comment?

no...

 

Nope, they give me lotsa waves

 

the gc8 owners felt the same way with us wrx owners.

 

um, its cuz a whole bunch of them are people who just jumped on the bandwagon and don't know wtf is going on? it was the same with the wrx, but now that the wrx has increased subaru's fame even more, the STi is going to be even worse.

 

There is a lot of "new blood" among Subaru enthusiasts thanks to the introduction of the STi.

It is both good and bad.

 

lol

i think most sti owners aren't on any forums, they buy it because they think its the best subaru you can buy right now.

 

I usually wave to all Subies, doesn't matter model or year, except when the driver is mid-aged female that looks totally serious.

I usually take 80 from Berkeley to Bay Bridge to SF (Financial District or Van Ness). I do think many STi owners are slightly older and may not be a member of any forums.

 

i still wave to the serious looking ppl... i often don't get a look or when i do it's one of: wut the hell are U looking at???
but yeah.. i'll wave to subies of all kinds i even wave to parked subies hahaha

 

hell, I'll usually pull right into a gas station if I see a rex just to say hi and BS

did last night, kid with a 02 RS he just bought that morning, didnt even know mine was an STi! I told him about i-club, good guy

 

i've met at least 3 STI owners who have never heard of i club
i always tell them about it and be on my way
(gas station stops n whatnot)

 

On Saturday I finally got my first wave from a WRX driver while in my Legacy, before that I'd wave / thumbs up ect.. but people would totally ignore me.

 

I always give a nod or a wave if my hands are not too busy on the wheel.

 

i always wave and or give a whats up.and have gotten many back.all subies are cool and some dont understand what there driving and its past.i give you all a wave
