View Full Version : THE YARIS WAVE

So today I was driving to work and saw another Yaris on the road… I went to go wave, but the other driver didn’t even look up. I would like to implement a Yaris wave. VW has a thing called the VW Courtesy, when you see another V-Dub on the road, you let them pass, or turn, or whatever… Jeep has the wrangler wave…It’s real subtle. With their hands still on the wheel they do a quick wave, even a head nod… Well, I think we should have one too… Lets open the forum to a discussion so we may choose the proper wave!
I have always liked the peace sign, index finger and middle finger raised. I knida feel like a tree hugger with a car that gets 40miles to the gallon!

A guy from Philly promoting brotherly love ?? (what...)
But I'm with ya brother. I passed 4 Yaris's a light blue lb, black sedan, white sedan, and a silver lb (in palatine, illinois. maybe a fellow yarisworld user on that one) and the drivers looked @ me like I was a flippen moron for waven at them.
Something must me done.

sounds like a good idea, but since pretty much everyone has tinted windows, it's a bit tough to see the other drivers!

Back in my Neon days we would wire up one headlight to a switch so we could *wink* at other Neons.

With the daytime running lights it would be as easy as running a switch that would cut off the ground to one of the headlights.

I like Violin's idea. I will honk at every Yaris I see from now on.
I love it when people think I'm nuts.

I say that if we are passing someone head on we both flash real quick (lights of course, unless your a woman) and if someone is in front we do the same with a quick flash, only the person in the front then has the responsiblity to give a very small raise of the hand to signal recognition. If we happen to be so fortunate as to be next to one in a stop light we roll down our window, nod, and roll it back up. ...but nothing quite so gay as a honk...and add a wink in if the car is sexy enough.

I don't know where the crap Palatine, IL is, but if it was recently, may have been me on the way to Chicago.

Well I sold the Jeep for the Yaris and the wave prob had about a 90% return rate. I'm down for us to have one too but it is going to be slow going at first. They have been doing it since the first time some mud and rocks rocks got in the way :biggrin:

South burbs I've seen one LB, and I know there is a lady with a sedan that works next door to my sis.
btw I like the wink idea - next thing you know someone is coming up with a wink kit... lol

I changed my mind, i think we should run wipers with wiper fluid. That way eveybody around us gets nice and moist too. Somebody should make a poll eventually--this idea of mine or the other idea of mine. :)

Ohhh man I hate that way worse than person who leaves the blinker on :biggrin: One minute I’m happy driving my just washed black car the next some nimrod in front of me is spraying their windshield and the overspray is getting Rina all spotty! Just the other day this CLK just kept spraying like it was their job, can you say road rage!?!? Got in front of them and emptied the reservoir switching lanes and laughing hysterically as I watched their wipers go like it was pouring out (yes it was silly, no they probably didn’t get the lesson being taught, yes I felt better)

Hell Yeah! Do onto others as they do to you!
I love cutting off assholes, flipping them the bird and screaming "How the hell do you like it buddy" laughing at the stupid look they have on their face as I'm laughing hysterically at there rage and stupidity!
I still like the Wink Idea best... but there was a commercial about squirting water from the windshield wipers

Alfa Romeo owners in SoCA used to flash their lights to acknowledge another Alfa (fellow Alfisti) - back when they were out there in some numbers.
That was 20-30 yrs ago. May still do it; don't know.

There are two possbile waves from what I think I'm hearing: Showing that you have your archery finger, for those who don't acknowledge you; or, a picture of you mooning that you can raise up so you don't to run the risk of schmudgin' your window? Dunno...

Why don't we just completely stop our cars, get out and discuss our reasons for thinking it's ok to buy a car with crank up windows in the year 2006...

I honked, waved, and did everything short of bark at another metallic LB today, and no response. I wanted to slap her.

That's why I ordered the power package & so I wouldn't scratch up the door trying to put an actual key in the keyhole.

Yes a NYG but my dumb ass sold it. I miss it alot. It wasnt a ACR but a sport coupe (Plymouth). Now I have a red base sedan and a Light green expresso. they just sit. The Yaris sees all the action.
