    I usually see them flying past me on the Freeway. No chance to see a wave even if I tried. <_<

    So that is why I don't get the wave back. I must be impaired- because I can't do that with my hand. The fingers just don't cooperate. I'll just continue with flashing the lights-although the East Coast owners don't usually respond. We, ( well, most of us}are so smug out here!

    I have gotten two very enthusiastic waves in the past two days. Brought a smile to my face after hectic days at work. :D

    No sorry, not me. Was in Greenville all day. My wave yesterday was from a cool chick in a black prius (to this middle-aged lady in a cool black prius) and today from a couple in a white baby.

    I just watched an old episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm", where Larry David is driving his Prius and is so upset when another Prius driver doesn't return his wave that he pursues the other Prius to confront the driver. In the process, he runs over Jeff's dog.

    Seeing more Prii around now. Saw two at lunch today. Met a Driftwood Pearl and gave a wave. All I got in return was a "what are you some kind of an axe murderer? look. So far 3 waves (not that I'm counting) and only funny looks.

    I am starting to get REALLY worried about the Sonoma County Pri drivers. Not only do none of them wave...well, none of them can, because they generally have cell phones clamped to one ear. I know I don't have bluetooth...but I also pull over if I must use the phone and it is safe (like, say, next to a curb in an empty parking space in a long row of empty parking spaces...). Be afraid. Be very afraid. :eek:

    Lately I have started getting waves from people I don't know who don't even drive a Prius. They mistake me for someone else who lives nearby and drives a car identical to mine.

    You no longer question whether or not your car is mainstream when...
