    Default vw and motorcycle guys...

    I've noticed for a long time that VW guys much like motorcyclist have like a unspoken bond. pretty much when ever you see another nice vw or motorcycle you give them a sign of acknowledgement. i haven't really every noticed that before with other makes. discuss.

    S2000 owners do a wave also to one another, I know Corvette owners do it to. Not sure what other cars though do.

    Your car is nice as hell, man. I waved to you once, I guess you didn't see me. I drive my dad's car (red altima) til' I find a car.

    I live on the grayson side of Lawrenceville but my buddy lives off patterson road so I see you all the time when I'm going down there..lol.

    And x2 about the import scene, you won't see any VW guys revin at each other, they'll wave, but all these honda/nissan guy rev at each other. It's sad..

    i probably didn't notice or if i did thought you were waving to someone else... i really never notice anyone unless they are driving a hooked up car or a dub. i'll keep an eye out for red altima

    Honda owners are pricks and show no comraderie at all...Just mean mugs...But I too have noticed what you're speaking of, Paul...The VW community is so much more tight knit than so many many other car make communities.

    Harley guys are snobs and lazy lol () lol. I tried to wave at every bike I saw. Even motorcycle cops. Cops don't wavee back. I did get a group of 4 cop bikes to wave back and a group of Hardleys. But yes VW and bike people have that unspoken bond.

    i've not noticed this with vw.. but then again i've never owned one...

    with most cars and what not though everyone just wants to be better than everyone one else, so instead of a waive they mean mug each other.

    motorcyclists have a good deal of respect for each other in most cases.. you may see someone my age on a "crotch rocket" waive at someone on a gold wing... but later that night they will both talk to their friends about how they saw the other and how stupid they are for having that particular bike... my dad owns a harley ultra classic.. makes fun of anyone on a crotch rocket calling them "power rangers" cause of the suits.. and even though harley owns buell he made fun of me for getting one..

    This is so true about VW. I own a Honda but my when i have rode with my friend in his mk2 golf and we see other dubbers they always wave. Honda owners meanmug and try to rev their motors on each other lol.

    This is true with Impreza/WRX/STI/Forrester XT owners. For the first few years I had my car you couldn't pass one without getting a wave from the driver. It's gone down a little bit just by virtue of having more cars out there.

    I"ve heard Jeep Wrangler owners have a similar bond as well.

    Yep, the wave feels like a required part of driving a turbo Subaru.

    Miatas ALWAYS wave, or the "proper" faggot Miata owner wave is to pop the headlights up and down.

    The very short time I owned the Porsche two Porsche owners waved.

    I wave at every motorcycle i see, i HAVE been guilty of waving even when I'm in a car which usually gets an odd look lol. I also wave at any STi's or WRX's I see when I drive the Subaru, same goes for the S2k as well.

    I think it all boils down to how you feel about your shit. If you are really insecure and think your car makes you, then you feel ultra competitive about it, whereas if you do it for the love of the sport, you are much more likely to actually respect what someone else has done to their car, and therefore feel a sort of mutual friendship even with a stranger.

    I drive a VW and get the wave alot from other VW drivers. Also when i had a CBR600RR up until last year, i did get waved at from harley riders. Maybe they were not as stuck up down here in Macon.

    I cannot stand people in honda's reving at me. There is this ugly Red prelude in Macon that revs at me every time i see him. It sounds like shit too. It is a 91-95 prelude, looks like it is multi-colored (not on purpose) maybe an unpainted kit or something. It has the worst sounding exhaust known to man. Every time i pass him and he revs at me, I think "Damn i need to get out of this Game, I feel bad for even being associated to this guy as a "lowered Car" by others.

    Around the mid-state the bike riders actually have time to wave that's probably part of it lol, there is no way I would ride my bike in atlanta, the drivers up there are INSANE!

    I'm pretty sure I've seen the prelude you are talking about, we have some world class fucking ricers around here it's horrible.

    Yes we do have some ricers. I always pass this guy in the Forsyth/Rivioli/Weslyan Area and he has to rev his POS rattle can exhaust at me. Makes me want to run him off the road. HAHA

    that's odd to me, cause every srt-4 i see around here acts like a fucking idiot when they see my car, they will do anything they can to get next to me and attempt to race. it's all good though, theres only a couple around here that beat me, and i know to leave them alone LOL! just how it goes, different areas, different people

    ya i think alot of them think if you dont drive the same car as them you dont deserve a wave, me im different if you have a clean nice car i wave. Yes alot srt's like to race everything on the road i like to race too but whether i win or lose i throw up my hand or give a thumbs up but im a enthusiast i like everything from lowered cars to jacked up trucks and everything in between

    I will say this until the day I die, VW owners are all family. If you guys ever get a chance to go to a straight dub show... You will see this. Everyone hangs out and there all friends and family. No comptetion of whose weiner is bigger or what not. A guy earlier today emailed me asking about something for his A4 but i told him the same thing. you got a question about your dub, someone will help you find out. Thats how we are.... The scene for Vw's has always been that way and from the looks of it will always be that way.

    I wave at everyone with a ride. For instance i was on lunch break today and saw a clean ass Blue Miata slammed. If your on here that shit is hot! But we waved. I also so an S4 and we both waved. I guess some people are different. I have never had a problem. Most people that i wave at will wave back. I have had an occasional dick head but overall if you got a decent car, you should show respect for the scene.
