If it's an FRS or 86 I wave if I see them in time. BRZs get the finger.

JK. Usually I get a wave or nothing. Though most of the time I see a twin I'm in my Accent and I don't wave because that would be awkward...

I try to wave sometimes. I feel awkward though if people have their windows up since it's hard to tell if they notice you, not to mention people don't usually wave at each other in cars, so I feel kinda weird. It's funny because when I ride my little cbr I always give people the typical motorcyclist salute.

However instead of waving, what I do find myself doing more often is pointing and yelling "BRUDDERRRR!!!!" when I see a twin.

Other twins exist in the real world? I thought they only existed in forums.

I'm guessing most of you that get waves have your windows fully down. I dislike the sun blasting the side of my face so it's usually just cracked open. I do have some wrx/sti/86 that get behind me and check out the whip

Don't really care if they wave back or not and don't take it personally.
Yep, I'm in this club, with the same observations. I'd say about 50% of the time I get a wave back, or the other person waves first.

I wave at twins from my motorcycle.
Usually only get the glazed over "WTF????" look.

Around town, If it is a guy driving, I usually get a wave or peace sign, but seems 90% of the time it is a 60+ yo white woman or a 20 something Asian woman. Both those groups just look straight ahead.


If I'm driving in the hills I usually always get waves from twins.
