    Here in Phoenix I usually see a modded Gen1 daily. Waves traded. Coolness. It got cooler after a few trial dents.

    I've never done a Taco wave. I get return waves from many Harley's when I'm on my Super Cub. I'm thinking that it's just too cool/retro to not wave. They have to acknowledge a Senior Citizen on a Super Cub since many of them probably started on a small 60's Honda ride!

    I could get down with some "twin peaks" as long as it's not on a Subaru

    Brand new Subarus are invading the mountains like razor scooters at the skatepark

    It’s a strange phenomenon, because really old people still drive these things and they don’t know the difference - especially in VA. So I usually wave at modded rigs, however many of them are too stuck up to wave or don’t care so I’ve given up. However, now when someone waves I’m the jerk who doesn’t wave back. It’s a problem I tell you…

    If you don't wave back and they get mad then they have the problem. They want attention and denying them that makes them feel small.

    I just don't wave. If a buddy knows me I'll usually get a text asking if it was me they saw.
