why not wave?

i have a buddy in a jeep that it doesnt matter who he passes in a jeep. they could be 16 or 60 they always wave. so on the way to nags head one day i ran a personal survey. i only had 1 of 8 tacomas wave to me. and i think the guy thought he knew me lol. why dont we wave to each other?

 

kinda like bikes wave to each other.....personally I could care less if I get waved at.

 

I've always noticed the same...

I hear 1st gen guys wave at eachother.. lol

 

yeah, i just came from a Jeep to a Tacoma about a month ago and everytime i see a Wrangler i have to stop and remember that i dont drive a Jeep anymore. And every time i see a Tacoma i have to stop and remember that if i wave they will think im a weirdo. When i drive my girlfriend's BMW i always feel like i should wave to other BMWs....they aren't cool like that though. Man, the jeep wave has really screwed me up. Actually, it became kind of a PITA to wave to every Wrangler that drove by...there are a lot of them on the road. I'd be taking a sip of coffee and sure enough one would pass and wave and i would look like an a-hole for not waving.

 

On second thought I have noticed that the head nod works... But now that I have tint it's all pointless.

 

lol i have a first gen i noticed that to that only people with the first gen will wave never seen a 2 gen wave back to me but they stare at my truck at a light lol

 

haha I always tend to give a fist pump but hardly ever get any back. Amazingly, a guy in a speedway blue taco honked his horn and waved to me yesterday. I was so focused on the conversation at hand that I missed the opportunity to send a fist pump or head nod

I for one will continue to acknowledge other Taco owners on the road

 

in the subaru community we all would wave, wrx's and sti's mostly. ive passed others in wrx's that literally have rolled the window down from the opposite side of the freeway to throw a wave. pretty cool to see other enthusiasts like that out there.

in tacomas, not so much... ive tried to nod or casually wave at a few that looked modded but got no response. oh well. ill keep trying.

 

And what we're thinking is: "That's cool that that Tacoma lasted so long...I guess I made a good choice!!"

Personally, when I rode a motorcycle I always thought it was kind of annoying having to wave to all the other bikers, but that's probably just me. I like to ride to have time to think and enjoy the solitude, not to 'socialize' with people I don't even know. Yeah...I'm anti-social, so sue me.

Fist pump? Are you from Jersey?

 

Well I wave to everybody if I'm back home in Polk Co(very small town) but when im at school or something like that i dont unless I know them or its a taco

 

I've always wondered this too. I had a Cherokee before and there seemed to be an understanding that if you drove a Cherokee with a lift or any other mods you waved. Maybe I can't wave until I get a lift and new tires?????

 

Yeah my friend drives a 08 wrx and one day some other guy in a subaru started waving and I ask my friend if he knew him and he said its just a common thing that they do.

 

On a bike yes, on a vehicle, no. Damn cagers

 

I do....guess it is a southern thing. i dont care who it is, I will wave

 

i still wave. i waved to a taco i saw today lifted figured hed wave back since i have a little lift. but i got nothing. and for you 1st gen guys, i def wave to yall cause if your lifted half the time im drooling at the same time lol.
