Default Why you no wave hello :)

As per the title. Back when I had my Blobeye WRX, whenever I passed a scooby driver, whether it be a Impreza, Forester etc, always used to give a thumbs up or a wave to drivers passing in the opposite direction. Since getting back into a Scoob a couple of months ago, I seem to be getting shunned by other subaru drivers I pass. Is it because its not a classic, or early newage i.e. bugeye or blob ? Or is it because I'm driving a 2012 STI with a 2.5 block and people don't want to get too friendly in case it blows up and I need a tow

Just a Sunday afternoon random thought.

It has been said that the 2.5 engine failures are mainly down to the extra force used in the waving action

'Same marque acknowledgement waving' is the the gayest thing out.

Don't do it. ( Leave it to the VW drivers. \/\/ )

Obviously 'gay' in that context is not meant in a homophobic bent <<< SWIDT

Re-reclaim the word, people.

Defo less on the roads, these days.

And what ones there are, are often driven by 'past it' middle-aged morts, such as myself. 'Enthusiasts' and the like, I guess.

Perhaps it says more about you than the car.

A friend of mine carried a 'Toot if you're glad to be Gay' sign in his back window and got a nice little toot off almost every other car. You could try something like that?
