The Miata Wave

[Swiftracing]

Ok here goes. We should start the "Miata Wave". What is it you ask, well quite simply when you see another Miata, make sure that you give them a wave or a thumbs up. See its kind of an exclusive club sort of. owning a Miata. Kind of like riding a motorcycle. Those that dont, don t understand it. And of course most that do are passionate about it. Motorcyclist do it as kind of a salute. So the next time you see a fellow Miata driver give them a wave. I think it could spread throughout the community. I already do it and people think I am nutts or something. So it you want to look nutts then give a wave and see if you get a smile back. Let me know what you think.

I thought we were already doing that?

Yea same here! I always try to wave unless it is bmcreider then I shake my fist.

[onething]

I thought you were supposed to wave your barndoors

I thought you were supposed to wave your barndoors

I always do...

[Swiftracing]

I had never seen anything about it. Sorry if this was redundant.

[onething]

I've found there are two kinds of Miata drivers - those who wave and those that don't even know you're in a Miata.

My barndoors don't move, so I acknowledge the other Miata driver when they appear to 'get it'.

[Sharpie]

I always wave.

[Miatamaniac92]

I always give the hand on the A-pillar wave or atleast the knowing nod.

There seems to be a lot more Miata owners, or drivers, than there are Miata enthusiasts. I wave, but very seldom get a return wave, even from Miata drivers that I see often around our little town.

My barn doors work, at least when I have the fuse installed, and I wave with them most of the time.

When Mazda did away with the barndoors the Wave died. O\ O\

I waved at Sammm once. He gave me the finger. I'm a little timid about trying it again.

[Keifersmith]

Hey Sammm, So did you just about get hit after AX Sunday turning from Central Dr onto the 183 access road? I looked up in my mirror and and looked like you had just taken some kind of evasive move to keep from getting hit. Did you give the guy a miata wave?

[Maverick]

I try to, but 90% of they time they don't see me. The other 10% give me the confused 'why is that guy waving at me?' look.

[MadMonkey]

About half of the male drivers I wave at wave back. I don't think I've ever had a woman driver wave back, although I did get a dirty look when I passed one that I presume belonged to the Lone Star Miata club

Yes I did...twice by the same guy! I kept honking and he kept coming over. He stopped for 1/2 second and decided it was clear since he couldn't see me out of his SUV. He didn't want to miss his restaurant entrance. I ended up stopping long enough to get behind him and come up on his left. That's when I waved.

I wave with barndoors, my girlfriend used to think I was crazy but now she waves at other Miata's even when she's driving something else. People really think she's crazy then unless it's a young guy cause then they go all crazy.

[Sharpie]

I waved at an MSM yesterday who I see all the time on my commute, as usual, no reply wave.

[SirHustlerEsq]

I don't wave anymore because people just think I'm done...but a woman in an NC was jacking with me in the turbo car. I opened it up at 18psi and at the next stop she said, "that car is insane." :)

[bmcreider]

I used to wave a lot and got few in return. 1 out of 10, at best, wave back.

And all you sons of bitches know what my car looks like, so if anyone ever waves (or shakes their fist) at me, I usually know it's someone that likes Miatas and may be on here.
