    No need to get so defensive or vile, Bob. It's just a car. Like I said, the Prime is a nice looking design. But not for everyone. Let's just leave it at that. I will wave to all you Prime owners as you are blowing by me. :)

    The "wave" started with VW Beetle owners in the 1960s , in Michigan and spread nation wide
    Truth is started in the winter ,, we were not really waving at each , but scraping ice off
    From the inside wind shield ,, so a trend was born

    Even though I know there are at least three other P.Prime owners in Austin (TX), I have not seen any in the wild yet. I expect I will wave when I do see them though!

    I bought the first Prime sold in Skagit County, WA (only one dealer here, too) a week and two days ago, after ordering it March 6th. I have not seen any others around my area, but likely will wave when I see another one.

    Oh, actually that's not exactly true; I did see one in a parking lot a while back, but I'm pretty darned sure it was the silver Advanced I test-drove.

    There are too many in soCal. I smile at other Prime drivers but I seem to not receive any reciprocation

    Day before yesterday, I saw a silver Premium in the Whole Foods charging area. That's only the second one I've actually seen here in Austin TX, although I know there are at least three others. I'm sure I'll be seeing more and more as time goes by.

    Isn't it hard to stand up in a Prime to do the wave?

    When I "finally" have mine, I probably won't initiate any form of wave, but if I should NOTICE another Prime driver waving / nodding / etc. in my direction, I'll most likely reciprocate....

    Also, the "War Department" has now seen two Primes in the Lafayette area while driving about. One was going the opposite direction close to the I-65 / SR26 interchange, so it easily could have been from "anywhere". She saw her second Prime only yesterday... it had Florida plates.

    Well yeah, Mr. Huskers, it is hard to stand up in a Prime to do the wave, unless you're doing it from the Prime basement!!. You could of course go into the Prime attic and wave from the one of the gables!! Har, har!

    A sun roof could correct that problem.
