obviously the guys who I waved at were enthusiasts, with there wheels, suspension, exhaust and exterior mods...I'm not bitter, I just think it's lame to be such a *** and drive a WRX

ya know what. this may sound corny but what about going past the subaru or impreza thing. why can't just people be cool? like impreza or not. enthusiasts or not. whats so bad about waving? or acknoledging each other? Riders do it 24/7 from Sport bikes down to the 250 dirt bikes on the road. Trust me, if someone, anyone in any car waved at me, male or female. I'd return the wave.

Wow, if people get this hurt over a stranger not waving, I can't imagine how they would react in a road rage situation, LOL. It's not liked these strangers flipped you off or something...

I get waves and 'v' signs all the time from other Impreza owners, in town or on the freeway. If occasionally someone doesn't wave, it takes me about two seconds to get over it.

Of course, my car also sports official i-Club.com stickers prominently displayed on three sides, so someone pulling alongside knows I'm a fellow member.

That's so sad...

In a time when U.S. troops are risking their lives in the middle East and people in Darfur refugee camps are struggling to survive, we have to deal with the hardship of folks not waving at us.

nobody is HURT, and nobody has posted in some crazy way...we are just making discussion on the forum about recent stuff

It's ok, I guess, if they don't wave. I'm a nice dude. I think it's a reflection of how alot of people act in america these days, rude and selfish, no matter the situation.

Imprezas are too popular nowadays. I stopped caring years ago. It was cool 3-4 years ago, but now it's different. If the guy isn't looking over or anything, I ain't doing jack squat. I still throw up a peace sign if I'm ahead of a fixed up Suby, then move on with my life, but that's about it. Nowadays, owning a Subaru doesn't exactly put all of us into an exclusive Stonecutters (Simpsons reference) sort of club. So I'm not surprised when Suby owners don't know why the hell they're being greeted or do nothing.

I give the peace sign all the time.. but most of the time I get ignored and look like and idiot. If my girl is riding with me.. she will laugh.. which makes me more of an idiot.
