I just got my first wave the other day since I got my car 
I was drivin down the road and there was a silver 04 rex comin the other way and he honked and waved as he went past, i nodded, we had a mutual understanding...haha. I dont see too many wrx's out where I live, and thats actually the first 04 ive seen out in my area, so it was cool

Oh, and, I can't drive yet; but, when I get the 98 Legacy Wagon I'll probably wave to the WRX owners below 50 lol There are a lot of old people in WRX wagons and stuff around here.

I pass a Silver WRX with a rather old lady in it, id say about 55-60. She smiled and gave me a thumbs up =) Most WRX's I see give me a wave or thumbs up. although one WRX thought it nessasary to show off, he downshifted and started weaving through traffic, he showed me that I was #1 with the bird =\. Other subie owners tent to look away, no idea why, there's love for the whole subie family!

They know you're going to honk or wave...... And looking away might be a way of saying... "I don't know you." Which is stupid...
Following on the idea that "waving" to other Subaru drivers should be in the contract when they buy the car.... They should make it a rule that all Subaru owners become members of I-Club. Then they would know that Subaru owners are supposed to be part of a "family."

I get the wave about 50% of the time. I usually get the wave from younger guys that own a subaru. Most of the older people tend to not wave. Most of the time when I wave people give me this strange look, and then turn away also. I feel so stupid when I wave to someone and they dont respond!

Tell me what type of response you get.

All joking aside. In my area (New Hampshire) Subarus are very popular. I have tried to wave or give a thumbs up but SOME people in these parts (as my friends dad from Texas described) are "crabby" and don't respond.
What I do is:
I look at the other car with glowing admiration or I raise two fingers off my stering wheel as a mellow salute.
One guy with this nice white '02 '03 WRX saw my car, saw me looking and smiling and gave me a cool fist pump. We were at an intersection going the ooposite ways. He was first in line at the light and when it changed he showed off a little with the acceleration we all know and love.
I don't even bother with the older folks. Besides most of them can't see and need to focus on their driving anyway. It could be a safety issue if you distract them. Wouldn't it suck if you tried to wave hi and distract some old person and they get into an accident?

It varies here in SoCal... there's a lot of teenage punk types with WRXen and STis that would sooner kill you than wave at you. Mostly those guys just try to race me. But now and then I see a WRX owner who gets it, and we exchange waves. I feel a special comraderie with wagon owners, heh... those are almost never the punkass types. Once I saw an 04 wagon just like mine heading the other way, and we both had big grins on and waved at each other.
