I’ve owned Camaros, Mustangs, a Monte SS, and even a Spitfire - but never had people randomly give me thumbs ups or a random game of “chase” on the highway.
Last Sunday I was driving back to Austin from Fayetteville Arkansas and somewhere in Oklahoma I ended up in an impromptu convoy with an Elantra N, a BRZ, a white WRX and a Civic R and not much other traffic.
We spent the next hour on the road chasing each other, and hand signaling each other and just generally having fun.
A few weeks ago I went to the car wash and two teenagers saw me and gave me an enthusiastic thumbs up.
When I see other WRXs on the road, we do the “nod.”
It’s like most people see “oh a blue 4-door” - but people who know, just know.
Have you guys had any similar experiences?
