If the driver looks like they know what they are driving I wave or nod... but most of the time i see middle aged women driving i dont bother because they don't even look my way. Usually 7 owners know what they drive so i wave at all rotaries haha

I waved for years and got waves back, but recently the numbers have climbed and I havent been getting waves from most of them, so I have stopped.

In having an rx8 about a year and a half i've only seen 1 other person that could be thought of as a peer enthusiast... The rest don't seem to get it or have no idea that there is something to get. Otherwise.. I try to make some sort of contact with them despite that.

I wave if the person whose driving the other 8 doesn't seem completely oblivous to the fact that I'm there. Around here I see a lot of people driving rx8's who don't seem like car enthusiasts so I'd look like an idiot waving at a random person...

I wave if i can manage to get eye contact with them. I've come up behind an 8, gotten beside it, gotten ahead of it, then gotten back beside it again without so much as a glance.
very sad really.

I usually always lift a couple a fingers off the steering wheel in a kind of peace sign gesture. I've only ever gotten a couple waves back. Not to sound sexist or anything but I've noticed more and more women are driving RX8 and they're probably not enthusiasts so.

I grew up in small town kansas and it's habit to to lift a finger off the steering wheel and wave at everyone. When I meet an 8 I usually go w/ a whole hand instead of one finger. It's enough to be friendly but not have them asking "Why the F is that guy waving at me?"

I always do and usually get a wave back. I've made a friend with a Subway worker who has one just because of our 8's. If you don't wave back, you're an a_hole!!!

Its kind of pointless for vetts to wave at each other now days (well at least where I'm from it is), because there are as many vetts around here as civics,altimas, and every other regular car.

I also own a jeep wrangler...and with that community you wave. I think its law.
Because of that habit, I always wave at other 8 owners..but rarely get a wave back.
