I was thinking about Jeep drivers and the whole duck thing. But what about you Kia Sportage drivers? You got a club? Is there a Secret Brotherhood of Chevy Traxers?
I can confirm that motorcyclists have a strong kinship with each other, no matter the make/model of bike (except for scooters). If you see 2 bikers pass each other, you’ll sometimes see us give each other a “wave”
Fiat 500, and yes I do, but nobody else who drives one seems to feel the same way.
I did when I drove an old VW Beetle, I’d wave to anyone in a classic VW. Generally, anyone driving one is probably cool. That did not extend to new VWs.
Kind of similar, I drive a service van for work and it’s kind of funny how when I see another van from another company we always give each other a polite wave but if it’s another van from my company we always flip each other off.
Yes I have 90s Toyota truck and did not realize it was a collectible with a devoted cult until I bought mine. I frikken love it and nod others when I see them.
I also recently bought a Chevy Volt to be my daily driver so that my Yota will last my life. I know on Reddit the Volt community is active and bigger than I expected. In person I check others but haven’t noticed any camaraderie yet.
I see a mini, I point at said mini and shout MINI!!! like it’s some sort of sport.
We’re called miniacs for a reason.
We recently bought a Rivian and I’ve noticed all of the other Rivian drivers wave. So we wave too.
Yes, I drive New Beetle and lift my hand every time someone comes in with the same car.
I drove a 2000 Honda Accord for about 15 years and in the later years I definitely did. New car, not so much l.
Not really, but Subaru owners are (especially the Outback, Crosstrek or any of the wilderness models) are a bit of a cult.
I used to. While most of my cars have been non-descript, recently
- Subaru forester - was close enough to niche and had strong associations with camping, hiking, dogs, so I was all in. And yes, I did all three with that car. But they’ve gotten more popular - now they let anyone buy them
- then I got a Tesla. One of the few people making the choice with my money to save the world …… but apparently now I’m a Nazi right wing MAGAt, and half my country somehow doesn’t believe that EVs are or need to be a thing. I’m no longer part of the small group leading the change but just a little ahead of than those who reject change
My current car is fairly common and boring grey so no.
My previous car was and old Renault Kangoo which is even more common but was red which is not that common. I saw this exact same model and color from time to time but it’s mostly used by farmers or construction workers so not much kinship there. One time we were driving on a mountain road and exact same red Kangoo was driving the other way with a couple similar age as we inside. We all noticed started laughing.
I can’t afford a car, so no
Back when I drove a VW Kombi, we would hang out the windows to wave at other Kombi drivers. This is in Australia.
A 2008 Silver Toyota Yaris Sedan. I sure do. It’s amazing the things still run so we’ll.
