Hey guys,
I'm a brand new Miata owner (bought my first one just over a month ago now), but I've been raised with Miatas most of my life. My dad owned 4 over the years, and anytime we'd go for rides and he'd pass an oncoming Miata, they'd always wave to each other, or at least acknowledge each other with a smile or nod or something.
In the past month though that I've had a Miata, everytime I see another one, I always wave or acknowledge them...at least two dozen times or so in the past month, and maybe only like 1 or 2 have either noticed or returned the wave.
I haven't seen many new gen Miatas at all, so it could be they don't even realize I'm a Miata too...I dunno. Or maybe people just don't notice oncoming traffic as much as I do...lol. I used to wave at other Protege5s when I owned one before buying the Miata, and would likewise never get a response, but thats more understandable.
So do you guys wave? What are your experiences with fellow Miatas acknowleding you and vice-versa on the roads? I'm starting to feel pretty lonely out here...(ughdance)
