Default Do all Impreza drivers wave at each other??

I am relatively new to Scooby owning. I have noticed that a lot of other scooby drivers wave at me!! Is this a national thing or just down here? I find it very odd, kind of like bus drivers! I know it's nice to be friendly but other car drivers don't do it!!

This attitude is the very reason I'm not a member of the SIDC anymore - defo a very "us and them" attitude.

Back on topic - I wave everytime as long as I see them - most of the time I get one back but it's seems some of the "newer" cars don't seem to want to know - I see a few around South Wales and they get a wave even if I know I won't get one back.

I'm sorry you're feeling unloved DA....
I'd not ignore a sport if it waved to me ..
but as I said... if I spot a non turbo's scooby, it 99% of the time has a wrinkly face and bi-focals staring back... and I know that waving at them would play on their minds for...well..let me see... as long as the Alzheimers kicks back in... 5 minutes?
