    Hey guys I also drive a Subaru Sti and every time Subarus see other Subarus we acknowledge each other with a wave. Since having my Taco and seeing other Tacos on the road I noticed there aren't that many friendly taco owners that acknowledge each other. Or am I just driving in the wrong areas? Lol

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Burn in Hell is about it out there or just too cool to give a shit (but I wave)

    Ya i've noticed a lot are too cool for school as well. When I owned my Fox body mustang or even my 98 Cobra I would always exchange waves with fellow 'stang owners. Tacoma, not so much.

    Usually I only get waves back from modded Tacos. IMO, the Tacoma is too popular of a vehicle to have every owner being an enthusiast.

    There is a wave for every single thing out there. I wave when I see other guys wearing leapord print leotards while riding a unicycle and eating a giant banana while playing a ukulele and they wave back.

    People have been seeking meaningless affirmation on this site for a long time. Probably why Bob had to come up with the whole "like" thing.

    Not as many Tacoma owner's are enthusiasts, I wave at the modded ones and rarely get a wave back.

    Hey Ron! The taco greeter / wave master :bowdown: :wave:
    Agreed, their loss. There's a done up silver 2nd gen that I see near my work at least once a week, I've waved 3 or 4 times with no respone so I gave up on that guy.

    If by "modded" you mean a block lift, black 18+ inch wheels with 285/xx/xx tires, and debadged with various stickers on the window I think I know your problem.
