Yaris Wave?

[YarisOwnersDad]

Hey, my fellow Yarii owners, is there such a thing as a "Yaris Wave?"

I'm a Jeeper, and we have a "Jeep Wave." It would be cool if Yarii drivers would give each other a friendly wave the way that Jeep folks give each other waves.

I wave to other Yarii, I also wave to other Jeeps as I also drive a Wrangler (05 LJ). The problem is waving at Jeeps when I am driving the Yaris, and Yarii when I am driving the Jeep!

So, basically I wave to everyone! Very Texan...

Cheers! M2

what does the Jeep wave consist of? lol

No official style, really, we just be sure to give a friendly wave to other Jeeps that we meet on the road. It really bothers me if I am daydreaming and don't realize in time that I am meeting a Jeep and being given a Jeep wave when I am out and about in my Jeep.

It's mostly a Jeep Wrangler thing, but Wrangler owners sometimes wave at Cherokees, too.

I always wave at Yarii. I used to wave at Jeeps, too, when I borrowed my kid's high-rise Wrangler. Nice toy as long as i didn't have to feed it gas. :smile:

I've riden bikes for over 40 years and we all wave, well Harley riders wave to each other and everyone else waves to everyone. Left arm extended low and the peace sign. That would be kind of hard to duplicate in the Yaris:rolleyes:

[Weyweyjenn]

I was thinking about that too~ That would be so cool!

[YAR1S]

i wave to the people looking, lol.

I have a special "wave" for all the Hummers, Suburbans, and Excursions.. Never thought about waving to yaris :P

[tomato]

Sounds good to me! :thumbsup:

I just blink my highbeams

[dvlnblkdrs]

i wave.. sometimes they are surprised to see a girl driving a modded yaris.. then i speed past them blaring my exhaust.. :laugh:

[jambo101]

It would be almost impossible to wave fast enough up here in Montreal as the Yaris is an extremely popular car,probably due to the fact that we pay the highest price for gas in North America $1 a liter today.Looking out my front door at the 25 cars parked on the street at least 7 of them are Yaris and i also count 3 Echo's.

[YarisOwnersDad]

Well, Guys and Gals, the "peace sign" looks like a "Y," so maybe the peace sign could become the official "Yaris Wave?"

[SaerinRhoe]

I'm starting to see 2-3 Yarisisisisisis a day now on my way back and forth to work. I just have to get over the weirdness of waving at another driver. I've only done that when yielding to another driver like at a stop sign or on a narrow road to pass or something.

I have flashed my lights and wave at other Yaris drivers

[tomato]

If you flash your lights, they might think there is a cop nearby.

Are you talking Richard Nixon wave or a cool flash of the peace sign?:confused:

[JustFrozen]

i don think it's a good idea either. IMO flashing lights is a bit too much. it's distracting to other drivers and some people find it offensive, even if they are doing something obviously wrong and dangerous like driving at night without beams on.

i know i get annoyed when people seem to be flashing their lights at me for no apparent reason. it's usually used as an indication you're doing some wrong and/or dangerous

That's funny, I just traded in the 97 TJ for an 09 Yaris, and I find myself waving to TJs all the time. The crazy thing is, they usually wave back!

Must ... stop ... waving.

Bikers look like they're giving a hand signal to brake when they do that. :laugh:

I rode a Harley for decades, and I waved to everybody I saw on a bike. Lots of the Jap bike riders acted like they didn't see me, but I figured maybe they just couldn't take a hand off the bars and maintain control. :biggrin:

[CKaelin]

I always give a wave and/or a thumbs up when I can make eye contact with another Yaris driver. Very cool.. I also ride a sportbike and wave to most other bikes... Harley guys are usually too cool for school...

Too funny guys....

Funny, that is what we "Jap bike" riders say about the Harleys! Seems to be the opposite in reverse, as I wave to Harley riders all the time and at most get a return wave half of the time at best. But we always figure the bad vibration is causing their vision to blur so much that they can't see more than five feet ahead of themselves anyway. Luckily, Harleys are so underpowered that it isn't a safety issue for them...:evil:

[Black Yaris]

my wave involves a middle finger :)

[The little red pill]

Sometimes I wave a baseball bat out the window if someone cuts me off. That's how we do it in Norman. Gang-sta

Waving around here looks totally gay if you're a guy and you drive a small car. A smirk and a nod is plenty

Its the rare Harley rider who will return a wave so after a short time you just dont wave to Harley riders.Probably a lot of riders gave you the wave back but it was too late for you to see as it was an unexpected gesture on your part..The new wave seems to be a clenched left fist dropped below the handle bar ,easy to miss if you arent familiar with it.

Peace sign down low seems to be the most popular here. But I've seen all variations, open hand, fist and peace sign.

The low five is my favorite, but it's pretty much strictly a harley thing and since I wave to all bikes, I just keep the hand on the bar if I initiate the wave :)

[freeridelectric]

I have waved. It started with motorcycles, then the corvett and now I wave at cute little Yarises. Other bike riders most of the time wave back. I have Harley but it is the same when I ride my 1976 Honda 125 enduro, it makes me laugh as my 125 is so small but it has a headlight. Corvett bros wave back but no Yaris drivers they probably don't see me as they are not expecting it like Harleys and Corvetts. I need to get a taser and tase the Yaris buddies as I go by. I have lightning bolts on my Yaris as it is all electric.:thumbup:

Mine too. It's my way of telling people I think they are "number 1"
