Do You Wave Back?

[GTR-N1]

A smile and wave from the driver of a car that someone really likes can brighten up someones day.

I was pissed at this jacked up pickup truck once that cut me off, then saw a maserati gran turismo with an elderly man driving, he gave me a smile and thumbs up...that made my day

Makes sense...

A wave > brightens one's day

Cutting in (or lane hog) > pisses one off

[Joe Nash]

well in my job, i do a lot of driving out west, were there are pretty much 2 lane roads everywhere, and as such i always give the little wave to the on coming driver, to me the little wave is saying hi yes i'm all good, hope you are ok sort of thing.

to me it's just common curdesy to do so, and i never expect a wave back, but is always nice when it happens.

also, it is surprising me how many people are still doing the little wave thing now adays in the city.

to everyone

I wave at imports and nice V8's, I rarely get waves back because I'm a P plater

I wave to coppers, they always give me a wtf look then I give them a thumbs up

a few times they smile & wave back, but mostly the wtf look

And then I thought...

when I was 22 and sat next to a G/F who had a Charger > kids would stick up a "V" sign with their fingers and yell out "CHARGER" in response to a very successful TV Ad campaign.

valiant charger for $2759? I'll take 3

i used to to this too. had a beer at the pub with a bloke who turned out to be an off duty cop with a skyline. i started waving at all cops and got wtf looks from all the other cops for a month or so then they all started waving at me and no more RBTs

cars been off the road so long now i fear when its going again i will be a target again

Can I assume your wave was a genuine one (since they're conditioned to read body language) and not a smart-ass one?

you assume correctly. he was a nice bloke

[hamiltonau]

LOL at waving at cops, im going to try this from now on. .knowing my luck it will get me pulled over though

[TerminalWraith]

Its a country thing, I do it out west. I wave at every 2nd Skyline but most are too smug to wave back...

[BrynDETT]

i wave or nod... pretty much nobody waves back.... maybe coz its a s13 or coz it has p plates..... they dont seem to see the black front mount or dont understand the plates "DETT" hahaha

[drunkn snail]

ive been trying to wave to all skylines (3) since i got my licence, although no one has waved back yet. hopefully one day they will see and it will become like a mutual respect haha

[Ezekiel86]

I always give the when ppl Give acknowledgement to my car even when they just like it coz its turbo.

Always would let another import in or just stop in traffic to let them turn in etc

But then had alot of import drivers tell me buy a real turbo stageas are a family car i just think WTF !!!

But yeah anyone that gives acknowledgement to the car I would

[88cameron88]

im sooo gunna start giving a nice wave to coppers, see what happens!

[beemae30]

I always wave to guys in imports and nice cars in general. I find a lot of the hot-rod guys will wave back were as most of the import guys just look at you blankly. Funny that when your in an import there's not a mutual wave. If your both on a bike there is always the mutual nod.

[drunkn snail]

can we please make it a rule, that if your a member of this site you must wave at all great and and not so great skylines in the future:). it should be a question when signing up haha "do you agree to wave".

Best suggestion I've heard for a while.

Those Alfa Romeo dudes can't have this behaviour all to themselves!

In fact, I'll grab my wife's hand and wave it - she's always wanted to be the queen.

Didn't they tell you? Those alfa boys waving at each other is their SOS signal for 'help! my (X) has broken' or 'my (Y) has fallen off!'

I call it the F.I.A.T effect

btw waved at a divvy van today, the guy pointed at me as if to say "I'm watching you"
