It's been a month or so now and every wrx and old school rs I've waved at, all of them have never waved back or they give me this "who the hell are you?" look.

Wassupwidat? Is it not "cool" to wave anymore?

 

I talked about this at the last meet i saw Mike at. Maybe everyone's just pissed off because they're trying to save gas with the AC off and are too hot to care.


i'm not sure but i usually get a good response from people i wave at that frequent the forums. though i rarely see them during daily driving.

Yeah, people don't wave back to me either... which sucks...

I still wave to RS's though!

 

i've only had a few people not wave
at least 90% of suby's i see will wave

 

I always give the "knowing nod" or a friendly wave to all the other subbies I see out there (RS's, WRX's etc it don't matter).

I'd say that i get responses ~30% of the time.

 

yeah most wrx owners are pretty friendly i always give thumbs ups haha. but this one guy i always see after work in a blue wagon with an hks bov and some kind of exhaust always gives me that "wtf u lookin at" look. oh well i dont expect everyone to be friendly

I see subarus becoming like the honda import scene.
Chris, Subaru is no longer considered an offbeat or weirdo or niche auto maker. With its mainstream marketing approach, it's selling a lot of cars and SUVs now. Newer buyers, in general, don't feel like they are part of a special group of car owners. They don't understand that every Subaru embodies a unique philosophy in the automotive world with its symmetrical non-transverse drivetrain, boxer engines, and full-time AWD.

I still wave if the other Subie driver makes eye contact, but I won't wave to get their attention. I get a wave back from about 1/4 of the Impreza drivers I wave to. Some just stare blankly for a couple of seconds. I've been hesitant to affix my official i-Club decals (stickers) to my car because, well, I'm just not a sticker freak. I may put them on in the near future just so that other i-Club members know they're not alone in a sea of indifferent Impreza drivers.

Anyone else have their i-Club decals displayed on their cars already??

i still get love everytime i drive my wrx. but weird thing is.. most of them are NOT from impreza owners. just a few weekends ago (i only drive my car on the weekends. and havent really driven it in 3 weeks) i was on the bay bridge and some guys in an old legacy shouted that they loved my car. maybe 2 months ago a carfull of hunniez in an accord were tellin me how much they dug the ride (and most likely the driver ) while i was waiting for the toll booth at the bay bridge.

 

YUP! slapped it there when i got it....think this is the only way you may get responses on the road...just like most of you, i wave(and they are mostly WRX drivers) and they just stare at my old scoob,its a 93 with a funky color, so yeah can't blame them to think WTF???that's a subaru? sorry to break their hearts, but it is

 

I do

I have the small silver decal (minus the car) just above the silver AWD decal on the rear window.

You'd have to be right on my rear fender to see it. But oh well, i think it matched the AWD sticker well.

 

a lot of people buy a subaru because it's a good car. most don't know or care much about i-club... Or maybe you drive during commute hours, when people just want to get to work/home.

 

i always try to wave at other subbies (unless i'm soo spaced out that i don't see u).. even wave when i'm not driving my subaru...
don't always get a wave back tho...
