Hey! Unfriendly Mach-E owners....

[stoopid]

I think if I waved at other Mach-E owners around here they would think I'm crazy.

I am curious though, how often do you see other Mach-Es when driving around?

My most common trip is to my wife's work and back about 10 miles each way, and I usually see one or two each time.

The MME is fairly common here in Vegas. On a random 10+ mile trip around town I will see at least one other, sometimes several. These cars are not rare, and they're certainly not special. Microwave on wheels is how I describe mine. An appliance.

Fun conversation folks! Figured some levity is nice between all the complaints.

The problem is, there's people in car culture who actually believe / act in the manner your described in your first post. Falls under "funny, not funny". If we need confirmation for existing and/or our only measurable connection with other humans are the material things we buy, we're f%^&ed. **looks at current state of things** Come to think of it, we ARE f^&*ed. Nevermind.

Only waving I do is the 1 finger wave at new TeSSler owners.

My first vehicles were a classic Vette and a Motocycle, both very strong wave cultures. I then had a jeep wrangler, again, wave culture. Since those vehicles I always wave if its the same car. I used to get looks when I would wave to every soccer mom driving a White Highlander, lots of confusion. The first 3 years with the Mach-e I waved to them, now I just wave to the Space Whites (there are 5 in my little city at least) but even with those I have basically stopped, just too many.

I wave as well. I hardly ever get the wave back. Won't stop me though

My last car was a STI and everyone waved.

When my Trans Am was new, I would wave. That stopped fast since there were so many of them around. In my model year, they produced over 129,000 Trans Ams (there were 4 Firebird sub-models: Firebird, Esprit, Formula, Trans Am), so by 1980 you literally saw one (or more) at every intersection.

After 3 years I am still excited to see other MME. But I live in Miami. They may shoot me. Things get tense here on road.

Where the heck do you people live? We have so many Mach-Es that I’ve seen one get into an accident in front of me and another one get towed . No one even looks at me and my car, although I think I have the best Mach-E color / trim / options out there. Zero people care.

Now my red corvette on the other hand…

If they stopped waving to each other they wouldn’t crash

Woah, and I thought I over analyze things

I had a Jeep CJ-7 in 1982. People always waved. Never had a vehicle since that people wave.

If you want an appliance, buy a Toyota.

I often wave when I see another MME. They are rare enough. I even wave in my Mz3 cause there aren't many of that generation left either. Most people are unaware. That's fine. Being a car guy I notice what most vehicles are on the road. I can identify most from a distance.

...the next time I wave in comradery and you don't wave back, I'm going to hunt you down, take your car and leave you with a remote control Cybertruck.

You have been warned!

You are not the only one. Many of our brethren keep to themselves. Too quick to react as we pass by.

My brain will turn off when I'm dead. Which could be sooner than later if I don't wave back, it seems.

 

[ChrisO]

For the record, no one has ever waved at me. If they did, I would certainly wave back, but I wouldn't be the first one to wave.

I agree, but I don’t think that most folks who purchase our beloved Mach E’s are real car people who understand the culture.
