I always wave. Very rarely get a wave back.
I'm ashamed to admit, I forgot all about the barndoor wave.
Always Wave or Flash my lights
Sometimes Wave or Flash my lights
Never Wave or Flash my lights
I always wave. Very rarely get a wave back.
I'm ashamed to admit, I forgot all about the barndoor wave.
The Nissan/Datsun Z car community had a similar tradition, but it apparently fell by the wayside when the 350Z was released and the commuter:enthusiast ratio took a hit. I just to flash other Z32-and-earlier chassis cars, but I gave up on the 350Z owners.
With the Miata, most of the other Miatas I see around my town are neglected commuters driven by old hippies who don't seem to have any interest in the Miata community. I generally try to make eye contact first when possible and then I will wave, but usually it's met with a blank stare, confused expression, or intentionally averted eyes.

I just flick the highbeams,
I found that I get more response doing it this way rather than the barn door wave.

So I tried waving at about 3 people today. They stared.... I'm a crazy man!

Also check out the facebook page http://www.facebook.com/IHeartFlippyHeadlights !!! Its a facebook page dedicated to the awesomeness which is flippyheadlights! Not me, but the actual headlights! High time someone noticed how awesome these things are; check it out!
I'll usually wave or flip the headlight doors for another NA. I've yet to see another NA flip their headlight dors back.
I also do this. But no reply back. Very few miatas here though.
I wave, but no flash in my NB. I notice no one ever waves back.
I motion we start using ASL, and just signing M... so the miatards know we are directing them. And it's pretty specific.

I blink at all Miatas driving down the road. I rarely get a response unless I see someone in the club.

Are you inviting them for a fisting?

Ugh... Is that really a question? Of course I am. Just pull the car over, pull the top down, pants off, strip underwear, commence highly rambunctious fisting on side of freeway.
Highway patrol, feel free to join, you already fist us anyway.

I'll wave if it's a NA or a modified NB. If it's a stock NB or even worse an NC (they never wave because apparently their shit doesn't stink), I don't bother anymore.
