    Hi there,
    I have noticed a good nuber of Prius Drivers waving at me. I have often admired motorcyclists and Jeep drivers, who have a comraderie that transcends nationality, race, religion...Is this the case with most of you, or am I imagining this Prius bond?

    hello:

    When our Prius was new in august of 05, we really noticed it on the road. It seems now that here in So Cal, the wave thing has already peaked. I did notice a Civic GX CNG yesterday, and even though I was in our 2000 Camry, I gave him the thumbs up.

    Keep waving, keep smiling.

    The world needs more of that.

    They don't wave in Texas?
    I use to live in rural Minnesota, and EVERYONE waved at everyone! Of course, you don't in the cities...

    If you have a sharkfin, you have a cool mod :D

    I live in rural NC and we wave at each other no matter what we are driving. Really. I call it "throwing your hand up".

    Dear Everyone,

    I just went on a road trip to Cape Cod, and waved to all you Prius drivers. We got some great waves, smiles and all. Thanks for all of these posts! (Especially the Borg post - I am a Next Gen Trekkie!)

    A wave to you all!!

    I've gotten thumbs-up from people driving *Suburbans*. Now that's
    weird.

    I was at a large intersection today, with a white Prius across from me in the left turn lane. He flashed his lights so I flashed mine back!! Thought that was rather cool.... I like the analogy to motorcyclists who almost always wave at each other when passing on the road.

    Indeed, resistance is futile!!! Join in and keep Lovin' the Prius!!!

    Some of us continue to resist.

    [attachmentid=10202]

    When people wave at me, they do it rather enthusiastically. I bring at least one huge smile to someone's face every day. here's to the nuts.

    Was at the mall here in Middletown, NY yesterday. Was playing with the cd player and looked up ...... Saw a woman in a Prius wave at me. I was too late to wave back..... Sorry.

    I wave at all the ones I see.
    There's a Seaside Pearl that I wave to, twice a day, to and from work...
    I've never seen a wave back.
    Oh, and I've seen a few new ones.
    Yesterday, another white one was behind me... I waved... and then I saw a Magnetic grey behind them! :D
    I keep trying. I'll wave at you, Steve
