How do you signal to other P5ers (edited with vote)

[shackles10]

i live in kokomo, IN so no other pr5's here. it's the biggest union buy american town in the history of the world. we have a chrysler plant, and delphi/delco's world headquarters are here too. so pretty much i get looks from mullets in cameros, mustangs, and big trucks (to accomodate for their small penises) as if they're confused as to why i'm in a foreign car. the best though is the retards that haven't really seen pr5's and assume it's fast as s***. it's pathetic really. there is one guy that works in town as a lawyer that has a yellow one but he lives in indianapolis so he drives that 45 minutes in and out of town every day. yesterday i passed him for the first time and did nothing as i was on the phone, changing cd's, oh yea and trying to drive too. doubt i would have done anything even if i wasn't busy just because he's done nothing to his car

I live in central jersey, and I almost never see P5's driven around ... the few that I have spotted were driven by grandma's/grandpa's. I find the lack thereof odd, being that NJ has the most people per square mile of any state. I almost got into an accident trying to chase down this white MP5 during rush hour ... it looked modded ...

yeah, i live in central jersey... mabey ill see you rolling around sometime, i got a silver p5, i auctually know 2 other people who own p5's, just a coincidence. but yeah i get really excited when i see a p5... civics just dont understand!

 

[shackles10]

i'm ashamed to annouce this but when i ride around i have no choice but to ride around with civics. if you read my other post you realize the kind of town i live in. so it's either civics or mullets. and lord knows how much i hate mullets so it's the civics i guess. i'll admit i can only handle so much of hearing those fart cans they put on the exhaust of those things. the non-turbo civics consider themselves street racers, which is almost funny. but some of those guys got the turbo and everything else and they actually aren't bad cars. so unfortunately these are the people i'm forced to waive at when i drive.

I usually smile and wave or pe@ce, like yesterday, drove my friend home and another yellow P5 drove by, and they waved back...I just hate it when you look at them and wave or something, and they just stare at you like you have crap smeared on your face...or when you just glance over, and the guy stares you down...freaky

[perfworks]

When I first got my car I was all excited whenever I'd see another one on the freeway or anything, and I'd drive up and look over at the driver, but never got a responce. Sence then I didn't really do anything but the other day I rolled up to a gastation a block away from my house and it just happens there was a guy with a car just like mine (2002 mica blue) and I just looked over and nodded and smiled, and he did the same.

To wave or not to wave

As a former motorcyclist (will get back into it one day), I feel waving is reserved for bikers. It's one thing that separates bikers, as that comeraderie is unique (you'd have to be a biker to understand, and I'm not referring to Harley's). Mind you, members of car clubs will likely wave at each other, like two modded Miatas passing by.
I live in a twin-cities district with ~ 300,000 people. The P5 is everywhere in this community. Yesterday I passed 3 mica blue P5's in a matter of minutes. There used to be almost no blue P5's around here - most were silver, yellow, or red. Very popular car.
More than half the drivers are older than me at first glance (I'm 40, going on 21 but I see a few of the backwards baseball cap crowd regularly.
Like some others who have posted, if it's stock, I would only look briefly. Stock seems to indicate they aren't addicted to their cars like I am, so I wouldn't embarrass myself by waving or making a fuss. I would however consider striking up a conversation at a gas bar or elsewhere if I saw another owner. I'm always interested in how others feel about their cars. Call it youthful enthusiasm?

Cheers, Mark

I've had the usual nod between cars. Most of the time it's from opposite directions. Some P5ers are non-social. Too bad for them.

What I like the most is when you drive up on a P5 and you start weaving through traffic in pairs or as a group. Some highway driving I've been with as many as 3 or 4 P5's and we are working the lanes, the moving P5 meet so to speak.....I love this car!!!!

 

[REMillers]

Ah but see motorcycles have their own distinct waves, so just vary that wave to meet our cars then its *ok*.

Understand in some areas the P5 is everywhere! Still funny to wave to someone who bought the car to have it, and watch their face. Most wave back laughing...that or laughing at me for going nuts over the car.

Yea, this happened once whole I was driving home from work and I saw these taillights ahead of me.(very distinctive) so I catch up and it's a red one like me and he glances over and gives me a smile and steps on it and next thing you know we're both doing 100 weaving in and out 'till I got to my exit. Very fun .

I made up cards with this web site on it that I put on P5s I see in parking lots and stuff.

 

[perfworks]

good sh*t!!!!
i like the card idea

"You've been carded"

This is an idea some of the toprotege.com guys have been doing for a while in the Toronto area.
In fact, one member recently carded another without realizing it.

[Equinox]

I throw the peace sign, cause I'm that cool

 

[jdm_mp5]

All I see are soccer moms and thuggish people driving around...do I wave at a mom making her think im stalking her and freaking her out causing her to call the cops on me...or do I flash my lights at a thug who then thinks im trying to start something with them and then follows me home and blah blah blah...I'm so torn!

 

[MP5Girl]

I go for a wave with all 5 fingers spread since ya know we're Protege5 s cheesy I know! But hey!
