I wish it wasn't weird to wave at other 3rd Gen owners(NC/SC spotted thread)

No sarcasm directed at you, must be nice to live in an area where people are friendly.

 

I don't wave but I do like pulling up next to a stock Taco 4x4 and see out of the corner of my eye him checking out mine. Feels good.

 

Heck... I wave at other fellow Tacoma owners

 

We have a Harley. The Harley wave is done to all bikes passed the road. Dad had a Jeep, same thing, all Jeeps waved.
Kind of surprised Tacoma’s don’t do this honestly.

 

I did wave when I owed a sport bike.... just something about waving in my truck weirds me out

 

I don't need affirmation that I made the right choice in buying a vehicle. The reason you see Harley and Jeep owners wave is because they need it.

 

Got waved at, and waved back, by 3 tacos on the way in this morning.. definitely a southern thing for sure! but also a taco thing. Jeeps, mustangs, and tacos are the heavy-wavers in my experience

I always wave. Maybe im a weirdo too

 

Wrong in most cases, maybe some idk?
People do it showing appreciation for common interests.

 

OH and by the way.. its a little finger-lift-off-the-steering-wheel kind of wave. not a full on pride wave

 

I don’t have a great explanation for that one. I guess I would say because on a bike most people just wave to their riders. Out of respect or whatever for another rider. Now some guys won’t wave, or wave to certain kinds of bikes. I guess it’s just different than some random dude trying to wave at you because you own the same brand of truck. Besides, a lifted first, or thumb or whatever is a little more mild than a full hand or the forest gump wave

 

How about when someone waves, you don’t catch it, and then you see them fade off in the distance with a sad puppy look. Lol
This is too funny... I am from the south and live in Atlanta. Now this is a real pickle, because there are people from everywhere in this city. Lots of people stare, don’t know how to react when your polite, and more often than not you wave with your middle finger.
On the flip side I have a house in NC above Asheville. There everyone waves, in fact if you don’t you feel like an asshat. Lol
This is a good topic, gets to the core as to why out great nation is crumbling.

 

I always flash a shaka sign when I see one. I usually just get ignored, but sometimes I get a response... Either way, I really dont care how weird it is... and neither should you...

 

i'm in ATL about one weekend a month. i'll wave at you next time

 

I’ve just experienced the subtle lil finger or thumb lift. No Forest Gump wave or I would have laughed, waved back, but laughed! Not to be disrespectful just because it would have caught me off guard and I would find that funny. I was just curious.

 

Please do, you can’t miss me. I will do the same, however I will randomly pick a response from my handy hand driving chart! Lol

 

Not all Tacoma owners are fan boys. Some just needed/wanted a reliable truck for whatever reason.

Edit: This is the reason there is no "Tacoma" wave

 

Just the ones who have time to dedicate to this thread. Lol

 

I still give the lift of a finger to tacos and/or anyone that does it to me. Just a friendly gesture. Evidently going to have to get a TacomaWorld sticker so people know why lol

 

It’s only weird if you make it weird
