Most motorcyclist and bicyclist wave around here. If I'm walking or running people seem to wave. Sometimes I wave to them, but that is just because I'm saying "thank you for not hitting me".

The farmers wave to each other on the tractors, though I'm sure if you are on the wrong brand they might not. LOL.

I was used to waving at other bikers, but was surprised when I got my 'Vette to see that Corvette drivers do that too. I was aware that Prius drivers do that also.

Isn't that some lame shit or what?

Some dweeb on a 325 shitbox with wing and chin spoiler tried to wave at me at a stop light. I was like, "Dude, you're on a Fast & Furious wannabe and I'm driving a fucking M6, what possibly is similar between you and me other than the stupid Roundel badges?"
Thanks for reinforcing the asshole BMW owner stereotype. Dude was just trying to be nice, no need to get your panties in a wad about it. If another BMW owner waves to me, I'll just return the nice gesture w/o judging his/her ride.]

I've seen S2000, Porsche, and Miata owners wave to other owners. Just like motorcycles, I think it just goes w/ the territory for vehicles that generate a lot of passion from their owners.

Yes I almost broke my window one day. I forgot I was in my car. If you want weird looks just do a low sport bike wave out of a truck.

I drove a lot of cars while owning my detail shop. I can't remember if I passed anyone in the Vettes I drove. The drive in the BMW was too short. I did get waved at in the Jeeps.

I also get waved at in the dump truck.

And you can't forget the nod to black people.
