WRX driver's 'tudes...
This is just an observation:
Even before I got my rex, I had developed i-ESP.
I sense other Imp's (esp. wrx/sti) on the road from miles away. My g-friend can attest to how annoying this is.
Now that I have mine, I make a point to acknowledge other fellow owners/enthusiasts.
Simple nods or open-palmed "waves", nothing gay or over-the-top...
Well, I have gotten a number of smiles, waves, thumbs-up, etc. But NEVER from a fellow owner! NOT ONCE!
I'm not starved for attention, but waddup with that? Where's the LOVE????

Sometimes people wave or beep at me but my hands are usually in an akward position (on the shifter or the bottom of the steering wheel, you perv! 
) so I don't usually have time to gesture before we pass.

unless the drivers give you a WTF are you looking at kinda look, then sometimes they just don't notice until its to late.
There have been several times when i didn't have the chance to wave at a fellow suby driver, but it didn't mean that i didn't not want to not wave at them.
catch my drift? cuz i just confused myself

Believe it or not, a lot of the people who buy Subarus do so because they are safe, reliable vehicles with a good reputation, not because they are "car people" who obsess about their vehicle all the time. This has a lot to do with where I live (Scottsdale, AZ) but many of the Impreza/Forester/Outback drivers I see in my area are well over 60 and are more concerned with keeping their eyes on the road than tipping a wink to a fellow Suby driver.
It seems hard to imagine to people like us, who gather online to talk about cars, that the vast majority of people just don't give a crap about what they drive once the "new car" feeling wears off, but that is the case for the vast majority of people. I'm still excited about my 02 WRX a year and a half later, but my friends, wife and colleagues got sick of hearing about it the very first week

I usually give a nod to other WRX's that I see. But I own a red one and there arnt many red ones where I live. I saw another red one drive by and we gave each other the evil stare as we crossed paths.
I think had we lived in the old west, we would have dueled each other.

great topic! a flash and a peace sign usually results in at least a smile. i agree with others that there are people out there with a rex who have no clue what they have. i saw a 60-ish looking lady with a silver rex a week ago! i gotta admit, that hurt. she didn't notice my sti hood scoop, drop, exhaust, nada. i am still haunted by the encounter.
