What usually happens when you encounter another BRZ/86 (or vice versa) going in the same direction or on the same road? Also, do you guys usually acknowledge each other in the opposite direction through waves/salutes/thumbs up?

If another BRZ/86 noticed me on the same road, almost always that car will drive up next to me and do either one or both of the following (traffic permitting):

1. Give a nod or size my stock car up
2. Starts revving/hooning

... And I ignore the latter. I appreciate the acknowledgement but I must apologize for not being as enthusiastic about seeing another fellow driver and returning the "happy dance". I'll gladly return a wave/salute or thumbs up then go back to minding our own business though.

If I see another BRZ/86 up ahead on the freeway, I'll sometimes even slow down and stay back to not be noticed by the other BRZ/86... then they spot me and sure enough, cue the above. The more modded their car (as in more "fast & furious" looking), it seems the more likely they will get all excited.

I just don't want to be lumped in with "that" group of drivers by the other surrounding drivers and contribute to what seems to already be a bad rep for sports car drivers in "normal" drivers' eyes.

To be clear, I don't find these situations annoying but it is a rather interesting reaction from them sometimes.

Strangely enough, I don't get much reaction from another driver in the opposite direction. I would wave or salute and more than half the time, there is no response regardless of how soon we saw each other. So this is not common? Miata and S2k people almost always wave.

What are your encounters like?
