What do you do when you see another GX?

Initially with the new car novelty, I did try to give the comradery wave. If it's a female driver, either they would look with a "weirdo" or "freak" or their husband would get mad
If it's a male driver, he would give a "wtf do I know you?" look.
Most people drive with their horse blind folds on so I don't do it anymore
Once in a while if it's a parking lot or an intersection, I give a courtesy wave and give them the right of way.
Now that I don't have the GX, it's this now when I see another gx on the road

It's the same here on Long Island!

Horse blinders nothing, most of them have their phone so crammed up to their ear that they wouldn't notice a mushroom cloud.
I used to wave a bit until I got tired of the weirdo looks. You can usually find five or six GXs near each other in the grocery store parking lot, so it is no big deal. You can always find five or six RXs in each row of the same lot, so that is worse.
Last September I drove the GX all the way out to Northern Michigan and back. Past west about Philly, it was culture shock- not too many Lexi and no GXs. Maybe a few RXs out to Pittsburgh, then nothing. 2000 miles through upstate NY, across Canada, through Michigan and Ohio - I would have happily waved to a GX if I would have seen one.

Flip 'em the bird... 
Naw, just kidding... I do nothing... too many around here to worry about waving at people... Interestingly, when we were looking at buying one, they were few and far between... the LX was much more prevalent... once we bought one, they were everywhere!

Seriously, GX owners generally do not care as much as owners of other cars I have or owned. They just pretty much mind their business. Only once did someone pull up next to me and give me thumbs up from their GX and another person said nice exhaust as I was getting into the GX.

during good weather when windows are rolled down and i come to a stop light next to a GX... I complement the other driver telling him/her... "nice truck!. I usually get good reception and others say the same thing back to me. Try it sometime... it's fun. It will make you both smile... guaranteed.
If I just see one... I usually tell my kids if they're with me... "hey. there goes a "brother" (my GX's bro) now... my kids beat me to it everytime saying... "Dad, there goes a brother" ... i never get to say it anymore,darn.
