The Raptor Wave

[GordoJay]

Sorry...goning to be brutally honest here...

waving to other people just because they drive a similar car is just stupid. I despised the "corvette wave" when I had one, and sorry...if you wave at me in another raptor, it may trigger me to just wave back with a middle finger.

LOL If you're driving a multi-million dollar car and see another, sure. But a pickup truck? Not expensive, not exclusive, not rare? FFS, no. Sofa King ****.

Especially. A pickup truck.

Funny this thread just popped up. My wife commented on this yesterday and said "oh you wave at Raptors, I thought that was a stupid Jeep thing." I wave at every F150 we pass now just to **** her off.

My wife gave me shit too, and made fun of me when they didn’t wave back. “Looks like you’re friend didn’t wave back. Guess he doesn’t like you.”.....stopped from then on...not much of a thing here in TX with Raptors.

NOW, if you’re in the country, and driving anything, people will wave at you. It’s a small town TX thing.

It's a country thing. People do it here out in the sticks. Same same in all Western states. You may need that guy's help when he's on his way back from town in six hours and you're broken down with no coverage ... or vice versa.

Everyone's experience is going to be a bit different. As this thread illustrates, opinions on a wave go from being a fan of it to hating on people who wave. I will wave, when it comes to mind and I'm not too busy driving to wave. I get a response sometimes, but not more likely not. I don't think it's rude as they likely aren't thinking of it or are focused on driving.

Nobody waves around here unless they're looking for anonymous quickies.

Well, that explains an awkward situation I was just in.

Shit... your hand must barely ever touch the wheel, then.

They have to. Ford made the Gen II correctly.

Here in the North West the no wave seems to be the norm. Wife askes who was that as i wave and my same reply is always, "it was a non waving raptor driver"
