Guy Asks Me Why I Didn't Do a Tacoma Wave...... Seriously?

Guy I don't know on the base I work on parked next to me this morning and asked in a friendly way why I didn't return his wave while we were in traffic. Seriously. I joked that if I were to wave at every Taco on the road I'd be at the hospital with a serious shoulder injury. I asked him how long he thought he could drive down any given road and NOT see a Taco. He got it then.

I rode motorcycles from 1976 until about 5 years ago (long story - two close calls and a voice in my ear said to hang that up) and the wave or two fingers down was always a thing, but you don't pass 5,000 motorcycles every time you're on the road either.

So, if you drive a Taco and wave at me, I likely won't see it and wouldn't return it anyway. It's doesn't mean I'm being an asshat or being unfriendly. It also doesn't mean I'm not admiring your Taco though. I look at all of them in passing.

Cheers.

 

Tacoma wave? That’s gay.

 

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't see you. Allow me to wave back now."

 

Oh, that must be why the jeep guys have their own wave

 

Way back yonder when I was a kid, people on boats waving at each other was also a thing.

This hasn't been the case anymore in probably 30 years from what I've seen when out fishing etc

 

Yea....flagging down passersby to help them with their broken down rig

 

Taco wave is where it’s at

 

I wave at each one. If they don’t wave back they can go f themselves.

 

I never knew the 'Tacoma Wave' was even a thing. I rode for 40 years and yeah bikes wave at each other. I've heard the Jeep guys wave at each other, but I think it's more pointing to the nearest repair shop.

 

I didn’t know it was a thing either!

 

Is it Friday already?

 

How Miata owners wave at each other

 

Taco Wave is real! Don’t just let the Jeeps have all the fun. #Tacowave

 

Get him a lil rubber ducky

 

I've owned three Miatas and I can say with certainty their seats DO NOT recline like that.

 

^^^^^^
Dodge guys.

I actually like the Dodge guys - they usually throw you a couple of bucks when you give them a ride back to town.

 

Jeep Wave is essentially dead at this point. Cucks in four door Wranglers love to pass out their rubber duckies instead.

 

A blast from the past. My memories of the maritime wave dates back to the fifties. Ahh, good times.

 

No such thing.
Unless it's a turd gen thing. Then you guys go on and have at it.
