Thumbs up Do you wave at other Evo drivers?

I was thinking about this the other day as I was driving around and found myself waving at other Evo drivers.

I think I picked up this habit from riding on my R6 sportbike. I find that I wave at other Type-R owners when I see them (as rare as that is) and I do the same thing when I cross paths with another Evo.

Do you wave at other Evo drivers?

I come from a 92' LT1 Vette, where this was common practice. With a EVO, it's second nature and even extends to the Subi community.

Ditto. Former 'Vette owner here.

I wave at other Evo's, and I also wave at STi owners (they usually wave back LOL)...

+1 I do the same thing when I'm on my Busa.. but I tend to do the two fingers down motion (if you ride a motorcycle you'll know what I mean) to any biker I pass, regardless of the type of bike it is. I definitely do the wave thing with other Evoers... Respect is key.

I just nod at other Evo and Lancer drivers. Waving is a bit weird at times :P

I don't drive an EVO, but I still wave at EVO drivers. Must wave back, but there are a few that look at me like they want to snap my neck for waving at them.

I wave whenever I see another evo, which isn't too often. More subis than any other, but I still wave.

Sure do even though it's very rare that I see one. The worst is waving to them when you're NOT in your Evo.... and then they just look at you funny

Yes Kurt..... I know. Everyone looks at me funny anyways right... lol

i either wave or give a toot of the horn... Most STi owners give me a wave as well. I was washing my car and a guy drove by in an STi and gave me a friendly wave once.

Usually every Srt-4 owner gives me the "blow off valve" salute when they drive by and just look at me...i laugh.
