Default Do you wave at other SC drivers?

When another SC430 drives by you, do you wave?

My last car was a MINI Cooper, and I got it right before what I call the "Metro Area MINI Boom" (around late 2008). Back before the boom Coopers were common but now they are EVERYWHERE. So anyway it was prerequisite that MINI owners wave at each other, not the subtle Jeep owner finger wave, the full on five finger open palm happy wave . It was fun but before I sold the Cooper more and more owners were becoming (or were already) very unfriendly. I guess it is just the angry commuters in the area, but I kind of miss it so to make a long story short yes, I wave. I admit I have moved to a much more conservative "SC430-esque" wave and head nod. I have even had a couple of wave backs, that could be more because I am female, haha!

I just did yesterday, knew he was looking at me. Did not notice if he waved back. I had a the SC guy follow me to the mall to chit-chat a bit. Turns out his Lexus mechanic is a good friend on my friend who was a Lexus mechanic in the same dealership, cool!

Waving is too tacky. I just curiously look at the other driver to see if it is a woman. Most times it is!

I do but most of the time the other driver isn't looking. I've had a few that actually waved back.

No, probably because in my neighborhood nearly everyone waves on a daily basis while driving or walking, so my arm gets worn out. Lol

Yeah. I do if they're looking.
And give the head nod to other convertibles.

I wave indiscriminately especially other convertible owners. I've had fair to poor response from Lexus drivers.

I let them change lanes without fearing for their lives. In Miami that is a courtesy reserved for clergy, police, and baby on board cars.
