LOL this thread is funny.

I think I will go with opening my hand up on the top of the steering wheel, if you can picture that. Used to do it in my B5 S4. I didn't feel like such a tool if they didn't acknowledge back.

malves85 · 04-14-2008, 06:15 PM

If im on the same page as you guys I dont think the shocker or sufi are really considered a 'wave' haha. Atleast not a wave from one guy to another.

Esmallstii · 04-14-2008, 06:40 PM

Anyone remember back in the day of the 2002? They all used to flick the high beam @ each other. I remember my dad doing it in his 76 2002tii.

Around here, a quick flash of the high beams means that there's a traffic cop, or speed trap up ahead.

May I suggest raising just the index finger from the steering wheel, indicating the "one" for a "wave" that way we know who reads the board here too.

I was going to type the exact same thing.

(waves a one with his index finger)

RWD FUN · 04-14-2008, 07:14 PM

Hey, how about as we pass by, we stick our left hands out the window and try to high 5. Now that would take skill, and possibly the power folding mirror option, which I didn't get, so maybe I'll stick with the peace sign or the simple hand on the steering wheel wave mentioned earlier.

RWD FUN · 04-14-2008, 07:17 PM

Oh I forgot, if you are in the UK (and Aus?) the left hand might be difficult, so you guys can use the right

TazioNYC · 04-14-2008, 07:20 PM

I've always liked the headlight flash...

Same here, if a cop sees you do it, you get a ticket for it

Around here, that means , "Go ahead and pull out.. I'll let you go". I can see myself flicking the lights at brethren, looking at the cars ass in the side view mirror, and promptly plowing into the person I just signaled right of way to.

mcunixjr · 04-14-2008, 08:48 PM

I got a wave today, in Fullerton driving north on State College Blvd. Other car was a Civic SI (Black). Wave == thumbs up waving out driver window

topvega · 04-14-2008, 08:57 PM

I am in...last time i did the "wave" to a fellow G35 coupe it turned out to be a 60 year old woman... I know i won't have that problem with the 1er... I love my g35 coupe but too many on the road now.. and of them too many people driving them that can't even change a tire or know where to check the oil at...

spicv0712 · 04-14-2008, 09:01 PM

Suby drivers definately make a huge effort to wave. I had an old 2.5RS (turbo) follow me for 3 blocks to wave, then make a u turn and head back. LOL!!!!! I guess the car is so ugly you have to be a car enthusiast to love it and think its sexy, so thats why they wave to each other.

Dont get me wrong, I love the looks and everything about the wrx sti.

These feeling dont apply to the new ones that look like saturns!!!!!

Bdh821 · 04-14-2008, 09:19 PM

I have yet to see a 1er in MA. I know LarryN has a 135i but I don't think we live close to eachother...

roadburn · 04-14-2008, 09:23 PM

Since I know of no other 1 Series owners in my area, I will practice waving at myself in plate-glass windows as I drive by.

BTW, I'm not against "the flash," either....
