What is up with TC drivers.
#21
I have come across several scion owners... xB's xA's and tC's most of them give a nod, a waive.... the middle finger hehe.... nah.. most of them do something just to say hey whats up as we pass.. I see nothing wrong with it... kinda cool... seeing as most ppl that had civics when I had one were rather rude.. not all.. but most...

tru tru...well it seems that most of you guys/gals have it good wherever u are. the ONLY person in another tC that waved to me was when she was pulling her FMtC outta a parking spot at Outback and as i pulled up to take her spot (oddly enough), she waved to me and said "nice car" and blew me a kiss...thank God she was hot too. lol...well thats my experience....I'm trying to get my originality out ther with customizing it but all i got right now is the silverstars and short shifter when it gets delivered.

The funny thing is the guy behind that was tailgating me looked older then me and I am 25. Plus I think the real reason the avg scion age is 33 is because of all the older people buying the xB. I always see more 50 - 60 year olds driving xB's then younger people. I don't blame them. I would if I was that age.

most tc drivers i that see me driving always wanna test me. i don't blame it on the tc it's just the dumb @$$ kid that thinks he's untouchable. i mainly blame it on the salesguys from the dealer over here cuz when i test drove one the guy was all telling me that not many cars on the road can beat me in the tc. haha

Well I can't speak for all tC'ers but I usually only chirp when I'm driving in San Fransisco or trying to merge into traffic from a stop. The small hills are a B&^%$ to drive a stick in. As for waving to others, I usually do it.

I've never had a tC rev on me or race, of course I only see about one a week on the roads around here.
Funny thing is the first car that revved on me was a BMW 3 series driven by a guy in his mid-30's. This was about half an hour after I rolled off the dealership lot and I was in no way going to stress my engine over that loser's early mid-life crisis.
Since then, it's mostly import coupes and sedans that rev on me and drivers of American brands that look long and hard. Yesterday, I went into get some ice cream just as a Jeep parked beside me with a couple in their mid-50's. About five minutes later I walked back to my car and here this couple was walking around the back side of my car checking it out. I looked at them and smiled and their faces looked as if I had just walked in on them having sex. Quite interesting to own this car that looks great and very few have heard of to this point.

ok i'm 17 and don't rip on all young tC owners in general. It's a joke that somebody with your own car would be ignorant enough to stare you down when you simply wave at them. I pulled up next to an FM tC the other day and the guy looked at me, i waved, and he turned away...support the cause - you have a great car, i have a great car - what else is there to it?

and I still don't understand the idea behind waving to someone I don't know. I may go sit on my porch and try waving to people as they walk by. Better yet, I think I'll sit in my car, and honk as people go by then wave to them while they go on thinking "do i know him?" So they drive the same car. In so cal, that could mean a wide range of people for the tc, and even moreso with the xb. So many scion's around here the novelty is wearing off. If I take my mom's sable to work, should I wave at the old people I don't know driving the same car? how about when i drive my brother's late 80's mr2, should I wave to all the others I see driving that car too? When I had my civic did I wave to everyone driving one of those? no. You know how many people that would be?! Did anyone else driving a civic wave to me? no, not unless I knew them personally which was a handful of people. It's not a concept I understand, maybe for bikers, but I'm driving a car as well as million other people on so cal's freeways, heck why not wave to them all for no reason!
