Do you wave?

Do you wave?
Do you wave at other 5th and 5th.5 gen drivers? i know jeep people ussually have some sort of sign they do. I ussually throw my hand up (like a hello) at other 5th gens, How bout you? (and if you dont, you should start)
#2
everyone around here with a 5th/5.5 gen is normally almost twice my age or more, always with family in the car. even the 5th gen that was lowered and semi-hooked up was bought by a middle aged lady who drives it around. so no, i dont wave. but if i saw a hooked up one, i would.

, but I'd probably throw them the if I knew them.
I might even do that to people that don't drive Maximas also.

acutally, it's a "country" thing....when I go down to my parents' place on the Northern Neck, everybody you pass waves at you, no matter what they or you are driving...it's called being "friendly"...something people up in this area don't know about...

I dont -- along the same note as another poster already brought light to, it's not like a 5th or even a 5.5 gen Maxima is some semi-uncommon car. In fact, they're frigigng everywhere. Chances are if you wave at somebody, the 65 year old guy driving it is probably just going to think you flipped him off or something.

I wave whenever I see any generation Max SE driven by anyone other than Grandma or Grandpa. Around here (Central Coast of California), we have a bunch of bluehairs driving Maximas - there's even a lowered Maxima with LoPro wheels rolling around my town with a little old lady that never gets past second gear. Clearly, she bought it used! It's funny how many people have Maxima SEs that you'd think would be in a Camry, or at least in a GLE.
BTW - I'm another "Jeep Graduate" - I traded in my V8 Orvis Edition Grand Cherokee for my Maxima a year ago (happy birthday to my car!), and have never looked back. Having another SUV left in the garage helps of course. I had looked forward to being a Maxima owner for about 3 years prior to purchasing... I was right!
Anyway - I would and do definitely wave to anyone who looked like they'd understand why I was waving.

And SE models are the most common Maxima trim level. I don't find it all that surprising really, when I think about it.

if they are grillin' i'll give a nod, im not a ****... if u see me just flash your lights or whatever it is you do. I think its just out of respect that you like the style of the car

No they dont. That wouldnt look "cool" and it would throw off their aerodynamics! They point all fingers to the ground and feel the air as if to say to the other cyclist, "I feel ya!"

In Miami if you aren't big (20" or better) you gets no love here! And there are a few Maxima's with big rims like my cousin with 22" on his 4th gen. Bottom line----not big, not noticed! I still have stocks on my 5th gen and only a few will wave. :attention
#32
haha hmm never seen too many modded maxes..but when i do ill b sure to glance and make them know i've noticed...nothing too outrageous like wave..never know what people will think of it..but as others have said the finger is the way to go

Call it what you want, "wave", or "pointing all fingers to the ground", motorcyclists do it b/c we respect each other. I love that about the motorcycle community. I don't get waves from everyone though. Usually the Harley guys don't wave b/c I ride a Honda , but I wave at them anyway.
...And it's technically a peace sign held out on a downward angle. Back on topic, I don't wave at other Maxima owners b/c they're all old people.

around here, its normal to wave at about everyone, I think Irish said it earlier though, country folk are a little more sociable. lol But I do try to wave at all the max's I see that aren't driven by grannies and gramps. More of a respect thing, I don't care of they are modded or not. Its still a cool car, plus, mine isn't modded that much anyway................yet.
