Whenever the other half's driving the scoob, she normally gives a quick flash of the lights to other Impreza's followed by a wave if they reciprocate.

She refuses to do this to Sport drivers - No Bonnet Scoop = No Wave. This is usually followed by a phrase containing the word "Cheapskate".

Is this common? How many Turbo / WRX / STi drivers are a bit stuck up?

I wave and or flash lights to any Impreza - unfortunately I usually get vacant looks in return.....I don't care what the other car is GL,Sport etc - an impreza is an impreza

I get ignored in my inferior leggy so i think you are probably right


and my leggy has a scoop

Ederboy

I'll wave as long as it's a scooby.

You do get some that wave, I usually find that if I flash and wave first I get a response. I think after talking to a couple of turbo owners that arn't on here most look for the bonnet scoop, I look the for the fog lights.

Sideways

I don't wave at sports anymore cause they never wave back.

DBY

Only by accident

When I owned a Sport I used to wave at turbo's etc with mixed results....

Now I have an STI, most sports/GL's do not wave back.... so I tend not to bother unless I see the scoop...

Sorry...

messiah

Myself I usually only flash to other Impreza's - first thing I usually notice is the fog lamps.

GariYaRally

I wave at a couple of sports daily to on the way to work..... and always get a wave back.

I hear you .... I'm sure my S/tb is invisible sometimes

I dont wave cuz no body waves back

SiDHEaD

Usually old biddies in GLs round by me.

I dont want to be flamed BUT Sports and GLs are more likely to be owned by "general public" (i.e. non-enthusiasts). I don't bother waving at them now. I will gladly wave if they wave me first tho !!!

tallsteve

Same here, just get blank looks when in my Legacy Turbo - Is it a recognition thing? Or is it that our scoop just isn't big enough...

WH03JAM

I wave/flash lights to other scoobies, but get blank looks back from them. Only find its the turbo/wrx/sti owners that acknowledge me...

I flash and wave to every impreza. I'm not a snob! I think the ones that don,t flash or wave don't actually know what day it is, let alone what they are driving.

FrenchBoy

Have to agree: no scoop = no wave!

Must admit though that i've never been waved at by a sport owner anyway, its usually some old puffin without a clue.

I do struggle to see the point of non-turbos. Its all the drawbacks without the benefits. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

Jamescsti

I tend to wave at classic turbo's, WRX's and STi's and also Bugeye's but i find that people in new shaped scoobys most look at me as if i'm off my head, if they wave first i reply though!

I try to wave at most, but sometimes miss the Legacy / sports etc as they don't seem so obvious.

Why would you want to lower yourself

barrybudden

Yea same here!

Dogzyboy

I'll wave if waved to! Unfortunately I'm fed up of looking like a prize pr!£k when I wave & get no response, I do usually look for a scoop however! I have to say that when I wave to new age folk round about me (Edinburgh) seem to look at me as if I'm an alien or sommat!?! Maybe there's something folk aren't telling me........

Wed night i saw two W1's coming up pool bank near Otley, Flash - Wave????
No responce from first.
Feeling a bit stupid ( who is this pratt waving and flashing me in his little sti )
I saw the next W1 30 seconds later, Flash - Wave????
Not a sausage.
Come on you W1 owners give us a wave go on give us one just a little one.
I try and flash and wave at every impreza and get a mixed responce from the none tubo drivers.
I like it its like the little nod you give when ridding a motorbike, it makes you feel good.
When you wave and get nothing it makes you feel like a d1ck.

I bought my sport cos I wanted a scooby and couldn't afford the turbo. So its not as fast, big deal. Still has great handling and AWD.

Nexuas

I own a sport, but I still do ge waves out of most Turbo's i see around. Other sports tend not to wave back.

nickthehead

I drive a sport(without a scoop) and get loads of waves by allsorts. Not as many waves by the new shape scooby's though.

gavnnik

But that's part of the fun though.
