    I will second that motion.

    I would suggest matching clothing that all Tundra drives should wear and when approached on the sidewalk a bow followed by the secret handshake.

    Third the motion to dismiss.

    Being and introvert but loving cars, I have been plagued most of my life with the social expectation that I acknowledge you cause you are in a similar vehicle. I have ridden motorcycles for 30 years, plus big 2 Jeep Wrangler builds (the two most waviest of vehicles) plus multiple other cars like Corvette, Miata, Porsche, etc) that have some sort of wave or honk or salute or expectation I want to talk with you at the gas station. A motorcycle ride on the blue ridge parkway is like some sort of Forest Gump family reunion with all the damn waving!

    Its fine for super rare vehicles....if I had 60 series Land Cruiser I *might* give a gentle nod of the head if you pulled up next to me in one, but good god not for another mass produced pickup truck that most driving it probably walk up to an F150 at the grocery store and try to get in it if it was the same color and parked near you....

    Winter is my favorite motorcycling season. No bugs, and I don't have as many other bikers that I feel obligated to wave at or return a wave to. :D

    I had another tundra wave to me the other day for the first time. I was confused and tried to figure out if I knew them but i didn’t. So, maybe?

    Same for many of the big cities in the NE...especially in NYC.

    I was walking around in NYC on a business trip. Sidewalks are shoulder-to-shoulder with people. I bump into someone and say, "Pardon me" because I'm originally from the Midwest and it's the polite thing to do. The person responds with, "F**k off, pal!" My experiences in Boston were on par with NYC. Though I've found most peeps in DC to be relatively polite...probably because most people who live there are from somewhere else.

    So glad I don't live in a mega city. haha

    Lol people in downtime Seattle area are generally pretty polite, will smile back at you.. but for the most part people just mind their business. Appreciate everyone's feedback and hilarious comments.. basically what I'm taking away from this, is that so far everyone on here seems like true Tundra enthusiast.. and its a joy chatting with everyone.. and if we all lived nearby id certainly invite you guys over for a beer and bbq.. that being said if I'd see you guys on the road then i'd definitely give a nod or flash a peace sign when passing. So I will continue to wave ✌️ as I see Tundras.. even if the other person thinks I'm an idiot lol

    I wave to Tundras all the time, rarely get a wave back. Hell I even wave at Jeeps still (had two Rubicons in the past) and probably get more wave backs than Tundra folks.

    Also came from a Jeep (then a Taco). I was happy to not have to wave anymore, it got annoying (would be shifting half the time and trying to wave back to people then look like a dick when I couldnt in time)
    Dont you dare be startin’ that back up for us! :rofl:

    Around where I live I fairly regularly get the wave from other Tundra owners, and even the occasional 4Runner.

    I was lucky enough to get the Voodoo Blue Tundra, and I've gotten more "Nice truck!" and "Pretty color!" from guys and girls than every other vehicle I've ever owned, combined. I've even gotten asked out on two dates. I guarantee it's the truck because I ain't all that and a bag of chips. LOL

    Do not be polite to people you don't know in NYC. They will assume you are scaming them and attack you.

    I'm not a serial waver, but yesterday I waved at another Army Green.
    The dude shook his head and rolled his eyes at me.

    What kind of wave are we talking? I mean, if it was a cutesy wave while giggling into your hand, I get his reaction (lol) otherwise the other guy comes across as kind of a jerk.

    Same old redneck wave we all use up here in the North Country.
