March 18, 201016 yr So I don't know how many of you used to drive old aircooled VW. When you would see/ pass another person driving showing the peace sign or a healthy nod was the norm. I am trying to start this with my fellow subaru drivers here in the midwest. There aren't as many soobs here as the rockies or pacific northwest so seeing another outback,forester etc is a little few and far between. Sooooo its not going so hot. Not many are returning my gestures. The one that gets the least return is the blackpower fist thru the sunroof. LETS GIVE THE NEW VW PUNCH THING A RUN FOR ITS $ It starts grassroots
March 18, 201016 yr What? Like "Subaru Slap"? Or more like a friendly wave, flash of the lights, peace sign kinda idea? I make sure I wake to any subaru that is older than 1990. Because most people driving those are Sube nuts, unlike the 90-05'ers. Anything newer than an 05 is usually a nice "wealthy" Sube fan. But then again I live in the PNW, so I have a lot more cars to wave at... Twitch
March 18, 201016 yr Kinda like the motorcycle wave as well. I give the peace sign to passing bikers just to say "Sup!". I like this idea, I will start doing it in the oly area, so lookout my fellow Olyians!
March 18, 201016 yr The "wave" is what I see when I drive my daughter's Jeep Wrangler. There are many Subies here in Indy, but I never see, or give a wave to them. It would take some work to get the Subie wave started here.
March 18, 201016 yr What? Like "Subaru Slap"? Twitch How about the Subaru "Piston Slap!" (2.5L only!) Or the boxer engine punch (alternately slug them with your left and right hands!)
March 18, 201016 yr Was driving my '69 GMC pickup the other day and I guess there's an "old codger tuck wave" as well. Some guy in a '60's Ford truck waved at me . I guess after they are 40+ years old, the Ford/Chevy brand rivalry kinda diminishes. For Subaru's - only the Brat's get the wave typically. Or of course I've had some ladies (in the loosest sense of the term) hang out the window of their Jeep to "approve" of my lifted EA81 wagon. GD
March 19, 201016 yr Every time I see a red Outback of any bodystyle it seems I get a wave. Definitely get noticed in the '89 touring wagon, even by newer owners.
March 19, 201016 yr LOL, this discussion reminds me of the Fall 2009 "Your Turn" on Drive Magazine: scroll down to the "response to outback secret handshake" section http://www.drive.subaru.com/Fall09/yourTurn.htm#oe
