Default Spotted ISF's...

Do you guys give a friendly wave to other Fs you see driving down the road?

I saw 2 a few blocks away from home this past weekend but of course I wasnt in mine(was in the jetta diesel, seems to always be the case)...very rare to see any & thought it was awesome I saw a Obsidian & a Starfire this weekend in my area.

I generally give a friendly wave or nod of approval lol passed a guy on the highway and he kept staring at me weird after he saw my exhaust haha. I have the issforged DES system. I'm in Houston too.

Since we have such rare cars, the few F owners I've run into on the road are friendly. One time heading out of Eurofest (meet filled with BMWs/Mercedes) I spotted a Black ISF in NJ, and we stopped in the middle of the road to chat about our cars.

When I see another F owner, I do the secret handshake.

I can honestly say that I've only seen about 3 other Fs in my area. I've never spotted one while I was in mine though.

There's quite a few F's in the SF Bay Area.... saw 3 of them just commuting to and from work last week. Usually the windows are tinted out so its hard to see if the driver is even looking over to say whats up or give them a thumbs up.

Here in my area (Temecula area) I've only seen 2 other IS-F's. One was a USB that was owned by a doctor and was parked in a hospital parking lot. Seeing his/hers was the reason I first got interested in the F and once I test drove one I decided to buy mine.

The other was also a USB, he was pulling out of the Mall and we gave each other some big thumbs up.

that seems to always be the case with me as well...im usually putting around in my daily banger when I do see one


on a side note, this was a pretty huge 'movement' for all vette owners know as the 'vette wave' I used to have a c5 back in the day & thought it was pretty cool you throw a friendly wave to all year vettes.

I rarely see any that are in motion. Most of the time they're parked or in a lot somewhere. It's fun to spot them, but for the ones that I've seen while driving, a thumbs up is nice to see on both my end and theirs.

Same here. Most I see are parked. I've seen a silver one in Fullerton, silver one in Cerritos, and a 2012 white on red in Long Beach (driven by a hot lady ).

Usually I'm in my company vehicle (IS250) so most F drivers think I'm a poser haha
