I do too. but the only other drivers of Vibes around me are old ladies. They tend not to care about mods or even know what they are driving.

Most of them are older or are so oblivious to the world around them they don't even look in my general direction, let alone notice or acknowledge my presence!

Driving across canada, every biker I saw on the road passing another going the other way or what ever, waved. And I followed a biker this morning most of my way to work and he waved at every biker going the other way... Now maybe he knew them all or something but the ones in Canada I doubt it lol.*edit*And yeah most Vibers I see never notice anyone else in a Vibe, get a few looks from people when the pumpkin is all clean and sparkling in the sunlight and nice comments at car shows I took the car into. But thats about it.

I'm a fellow biker and a Viber, and its more of a hand out to the side with us bikers. I don't ever recall seeing a person on a bike waving at another biker just a hey whats up as you pass. I'm in the same boat as damronjr everybody around is some old person (no offence to our older members) that doesn't care.

I always wave at other Vibes. But don't get very many reactions besides the look of "I don't know you". Most of the Vibes around here are people intheir early 30s or late 20s. I think they just think of it as a car. I think this site add a lot to my enthusiam of my car and really need to get these other people turned on to the site.

ive seen bikers just stick the hand out, not wave so much.i always speed past other vibes so they can get a taste of the cai/muffler screaming and be jealous that their vibe doesnt sound that way. most of the time though, the old fart could care less.

Kinds messes with you cause you think their signalling to turn and there are no side streets nearby lol.

yeah i see alot of bikers do that head nod along with the half a wave thing it would be cool to see them do both at the same time then it would be funny anyways us vibers should start the whole vibers wave or nod or something within reason if you notice its an old person dont wave because they wont care but i have waved once or twice to a viber and i got waves back yes this site really does boost your vibe confidence alot i think that my vibe is the baddest car out there even though its still stock just because i like evrything about it so much

I almost always wave or give a to another Vibe driver...even if they are old...um, "older" than me. More than half of the time, they wave back. When they do, I point to my genvibe.com decal and hope they'll check us out.My wife think's I'm a dork.

I usually do the lil Devil horns wave you know pinki and pointer sticking up with the hand on the wheel, it's subtle but it can be seen by those who are looking.

Yea, when I was on a road trip to Ohio, I met a couple who pulled up next to mine and gave a stark: "Nice car." It proceeded to contine with compliments and whatnot. It's nice to have a vibearic community.

Waving at another Viber in town here is a waste of time. Most of the Vibe drivers are middle aged and probably wouldn't notice if they were driving a cast iron bathtub around, little lone notice somebody driving the same car waving at them. But I guess we can't all be car enthusiast.

HEY--I'M middle aged and I LOVE seeing other Vibes cruise around! Unfortunately, like most of you, no one else seems to care that we have the same car. But I almost always try to catch their attention and at least smile.
