TSX sightings have been discussed quite a bit so far. I think we should establish some kind of standard greeting between us as TSX owners. I've always liked the way Z owners flash their lights at each other. It's much better than honking and waving like a madman(/woman). What do you guys think?

ebcheon

so flash light... but it'll look retarded if the other tsx owner isn't part of a-tsx.com.

TsXtian

ya thats true...i saw an old man in one. probably late 50's and i doubt he cares he saw another tsx on the road....also saw a lady in one...probably in her 40's and i'm pretty sure she doesn't care either. so do we only acknowlege the cool tsx drivers? and how do we know which ones are the cool ones.

wiz

Well personally I just like to come up next to the car (if it's possible) and wave to them. Most of the time they will wave back...seems to work for me.

speedzer

yup
wave or a thumbs up for choosing a really cool car

Jaeger

I think the whole I dea is pretty juvenile (hey, you asked). What's next - secret handshakes and decoder rings? Is there a need for some formal induction of TSX owners into the mutual admiration society?

Jaeger

ebcheon

hahahaha...

fdl

Yes, you must be from Toronto. Where the friendliest gesture you'll get from another motorist is the finger.

I'm not sure if any of you ppl are bikers, but we biker dudes always do some sort of hand gesture to other bikers,(no, not obscene ones!) with exception of some Harley dudes, who think Jap bikes are not cool enough.

It's not juvenile, it's an acknowledgement, like hey dude, cool ride...

fdl

What kind of bike do you ride?

ClutchPerformer

Exactly.

And yes, I did ask, Jaeger. Thanks for your response.

I'm envious of the folks that live in the North Carolina and Tenessee area, who can drop by there whenever they want

we should all carry bic lighters and torch them as we pass...or we can attach little tiny clown horns to the driver's side mirror and honk as we pass...sorry Clutch I'm with Jeager on this one.

Mr Zipps

When you pass eachother put on your flashers. I think that should be a ACURA thing. Whenever I see a fellow ACURA owner I push my hazard see if he does the same....

fdl

nice

RogerPodacter

OK, here is my secret signal

aww j/k, i actually flashed when i saw another TSX.

Bear Trap

Is this like "mooning"???

Actually, years ago Porsche owners used to flash their lights at each other (even before computers and car forums). I used to think it was cool. For very limited production cars, it's like a brotherhood. We're so scarce at this point it fits, but in a few years there may be too many of us and the few of us who flash (their lights) at each other will get a lot of dumb stares. I'd flash (my lights) at another TSX if I ever see one - I've yet to see another on the road. Everybody here is still in love with their pickups.

provench

I think especially cause we have projector HID's ... the light flash is will look

In 3 months in Raleigh I have seen 1 other TSX on the open road and that was 2 days ago. Of course I work at home and live in the sticks so that hurts my chances

lshenretty

Good lord! Makes me feel like I'm buying a skateboard.

DjElucid

I say we just flash our emergency lights, once. And if you're part of a-tsx.com you flash back twice! no high beaming or anything. Just four way flashers. My friend and I do that just to acknowledge each other.

Good enough?

TsXtian

whoops...i hope i didn't offend any older tsx drivers.....anyone who drives a tsx is cool!

Count Blah

I flashed at the first other TSX I saw on the road. I was pulling up behind her at a light, and I'm not sure if she saw me. Oh well.

dnb

Oh, you can spot us older drivers --- our left turn signals are permanently on.

[My goodness, it's 4 pm. Bye. I've got to head out and catch the early bird special at Denny's.]

nuke

I think I will just stick to visorboy's "biker wave". I am also an ex Japanese brand biker. I have seen only a couple of TSX's on the road; one was behind me the other day and when I raised my hand, everyone in the car waved. I spotted a couple with older drivers that did not seem to notice a tsx next to them on the highway.

Visorboy

Dude, what do you mean by ex? what was or is your current ride?

TsXtian

nuke...
what part of brampton are you from? i'm from steeles and hwy 10 area.

Handruin

I saw someone with a TSX today mergning onto 495. I waved back, it wasn't anything complicated...

larchmont

It's the same thing as figuring out who to go up to at a bar or club or whatever.

A quick glance'll do it -- Make your assessment, and act accordingly.

I usually drop my trows and stick my butt out the window.

(Heh heh I said assessment)

jcg878

I say we pull up to each other and race

nuke

I had a Honda CB 500 back before I had the wife (and kids). Drove it rather extensively through the US, Canada, Mexico

GRAYTSX

Kind of an asshole-ish assumption. What does age have to do with being cool. Maybe they DO care.



Ok, I saw your apology...accepted.
