I wave at Miata drivers all the time, as long as they have the top down. They never seem to wave back though..

I get waves from older drivers who cruise around casually top down as well. The younger drivers, on the other hand, do ricer fly bys when they see me.

So because another car guy/girl was nice to you and gave a wave, you died a bit inside?

You have no idea if they thought that you were another miata, or if he/she just liked your car, or the fact you were another roadster and wanted to say hello cause we share small car struggle, or maybe you just seemed like you were having a bad day/irritated and needed something that would give you a smile, or perhaps they thought you were attractive,

No need to get bent out of shape because someone was polite to you.

+3. I still wave to (non-rice) Civics and Integras.

I waved at a turbo FRS a couple days ago.

I wonder if he made a thread when he got home too?
If he did, I bet he got ripped to shreds for it.
Tough crowd in here, James...tough crowd...

Life is so hectic that sometimes we mistake politeness or friendliness to be hostile...take it easy man. Just a friendly wave. Think positive and be happy!

What's wrong with Miatas? Occasionally people refer to my car as a Miata (it's happened twice) but other than a correction, I don't mind it much. Miatas are fun!
