Exclamation Passing another WRX/Suby

What's the custom for passing another wrx/suby on the road?

Do you wave hello, hand in or out the window?

Do you flash your high beams?

I give a wave. If my windows are down, then the had goes out the window. Most people don't even notice, but I do it anyway...

Don't be offended by owners who don't wave. Keep in mind that only a fraction of subie owners are on this board. I even meet owners of MY02 and 03 WRX sedans and wagons that have never heard of i-Club or any other board.

I wave or high beam. A lot of people lately don't seem to be doing it in return though - even when I know for a fact they see me. A lot of the '04 drivers are that way too

I usually wave or nod. I'll get a wave back if they're driving an older 2.5 rs or an 02-03 imprezas. Not much with the 04's. Got some waves from a few STi's.
