All womens get a creepy smile and sometimes an overly energetic wave

V35 get a nod if its not stock

Old muscle cars get a nod

Old school Jap get a nod

GT-Rs get a knowing look and a raised finger off the steering wheel

Evos get owned

WRX get nothing

It doesn't just depend on the car i think it depends on who is behind the wheel, if your hat is back to front or your look like a jerk i am not waving.

Agree, but... Do my Police sunnies make me look like a jerk? :(

I usually only bother to wave to the older, more classic models to show my appreciation (Datsuns!!!)... and they always wave back with a :thumbsup:

This is true actually, most of the classic cars will give me some love back.

For me are as follows:

(P.S: I will only wave if I am in my V35 coupe.) :P

Waving:

1. GT-R's. (Ones that drive responsibly, particularly mature looking drivers.)

2. R32's, R33's, R34's. (Again, mature looking drivers. Definitely no P-platers.)

3. V and Z-series. (Ones that look back at me when we drive past each other. More willing to wave to Aussie (White) drivers, as I have some bad experiences with Asian drivers.)

4. Stagea's. (Most of them look at my car when coming across.)

Not Waving:

1. S13's (Had too many bad experiences.)

2. WRX's, Galant's, Legnum's (Except some of my friends, most of them look like they only care for their own kind of imports. i.e. To STI's and Evo's.)

Neutral (Maybe, Maybe not):

1. RX7 (Still like the car overall.)

2. Supra (Like RX7, still like the car overall. Definitely no P-platers.)

3. Mark II's, Chaser's, Soarer's (Most of them look at my car when coming across.)

4. STI's, Evo's (Except some of my friends, most of them don't look like they care much about other imports.)

Wave:

Any skyline, except a series 1 R33.

Supra, especially JZA/MA70s!

Evos

Foresters

Libertys

Cefiros/Laurels etcc...

RX7/8s

Aristos

GTRs

Silvas, except s13s

V35s

370zs

Z31/Z32

All stageas

Any Soarer driver who isn't Sudanese/Ugandan

BMW drivers who aren't wogs

No wave:

ANY commodore. No exceptions, they are all bogan wankers

WRXs. They're everywhere.

Hondas

350z

s13s

Any love for x-trails?

hahahah

Edited by StealthX

I get no love. :( Where I live all there is are fags that drool over their V6 ecotec's broaw.

P-plates probably don't help but surely people can tell the difference between a sensible enthusiast and an idiot that has neons and chromies and tries to hit full speed between every set of lights/speed bumps.

No love to maroon S1 R33's and that's about it. (besides some of the above mentioned)

I know/think I saw Stealths X-trail (it was definitely an X-trail) the other day or last night on Warwick or Hepburn or Beach Rd. (I forget :) )

Edited by are bee's

Not much of an initiator, however will return the favor, if I recognize plates or car I'll give a wave, nothing to over enthusiastic,

Same with spotted threads, only spot forum members or personal plates, not listing every car I see every day,

I like to wave at most R32/R34 drivers. Usually skip the R33's as they never give any love back.

No one waves S13s? Aw, the first wave I got here in Perth was from an S13 ^_^

Did it have a lot of green lol? I think 5WEET is the only Silvia that has ever waved to me.

hahaha ^^^

if im ever driving around and i see A VW wave to me - i'll be sure to put 2+2 together from now on :P

Jimmy if i ever saw your 32 i would definitely be giving you wave love. your car is gee'd up from the feet up.

OT - yerp

but i need to buy some materials first which come from the US of A

and beleive it or not i DO notice R32 golfs driving around... my girlfriends' sisters' boyfriend has got one...

he got it for cheap from sydney. i said it was cheap for a reason, but he bought it anyway.

funny story about that is:

he was driving home from "da club" one night with his gf and his ENGINE FELL OUT OF HIS CAR.

no seriously. engine fell out onto the road through the floorpan. danger to manifold styles.

VW said car is no longer covered by warranty but decided to fix it anyway out of... embarrassment i suppose.

they had the car for about 3.5 months? i would not begin to fathom the parts that would have been damaged in an intricate car like an R32 golf having it's engine fall out from it's chassis like that...

:/

hey question.. when it's night.. and you press the button on your fob remote... and the HIDs fire up before you even get in the car, does it make you smile everytime?

until I fix my window I don't wind it down so I try to wave but due to the dark tinting I think others believe I am just rude in not returning the favour :)

otherwise I would nod at other GTR owners and most imports, as long as they're not driving like tools and the car is well kept. If it's some crapbox it's probably treated as such by those who are not enthusiasts.

K let me know when you are ready.

It is still new to me (had it just over a month and have been away o/s for a good part of that) so yes and the fact i can roll down the windows when walking towards it.

o and the v6 note is nuts, just ask Kermit. Took it over to show him and he thought i had already put an exhaust on it. Think he wet himself when i rev'd it, got a funny look on his face.

right so back o/t

    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
    • I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.  
    • Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.     
    • @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!
