Do you wave to a fellow RX-8?
When I had my 2.5RS coupe and Saabaru 92x, we tend wave to one another. I guess both cars are so rare. But somehow with the rx-8 even though is still pretty rare compared to other cars in the segment I just don't and have not received any.
Just wondering anyone here waves to fellow rx-8 drivers? Or are we too cool for this silly gestures?

I did for the first year or two. Everyone was so proud to be in such an exclusive car. Now, it seems like RX8 owners pretend they don't even see me. 
rx7 owners are much more responsive

I stopped waving.. I noticed 90% of the rx8 drivers don't know they are driving a rotary so they are matter-less. If i see a modded 8 I will flash em with my head lights tho.

recently most 8 "owners" don't waive, but they don't get the car...i can tell they just don't realize what they're driving when i pass them!! 7 owners wave, i've noticed some 3 owners that have modded they're 3 will wave, but most 8's in this area seem to be driven by non-enthusiasts...but doesn't stop me from trying (waving, honk, flash lights...)

It's a Cavalier
I wave at RX8 owners, and I give them the thumbs up... I usually get the look of "why the hell is that guy in the grand am waving at me?"
One of these days I'll get a wave back who knows me here.

When I was driving through San Fransisco on a long road trip from AK to CO, I honked and waved at an 8 and he flipped me off! That was actually the last time I waved at an 8....

It depends on the situation - but I usually toss them a wave, or at least a couple fingers up from the steering wheel as we pass. A few return, but a lot of the 8s around here are driven by what appear to be 50 something ladies, so I don't think they're all about the rotary brotherhood. Though to be fair, I bet there's at least a few 50-something women out there with totally bitchin' 8s who know way more than I ever will!
Thats messed up

when I first got my 8 I waved at a couple like I wave when I'm on my bike to other bikes, but every time I waved people just give me this weird wtf you looking at look. Now I just give and get thumbs up; not only from 8s but other cars too. Hell a police officer just gave me the thumbs up not to long ago today.
