Lets be honest here - look at a large majority of people buying imports. Fast and the Furious fan boys who are hard rollers, far too cool to toss a simple wave of respect. Everyone has that attitude like they have something to prove. Just look at the way they're always portrayed in the movies - badasses who are too cool to talk to one another instead of welcoming a newbie with open arms.
On the other hand, if you look at the modded domestic crew (like, seriously motor modded...Im not talking lowering springs and wheels douches) - they obviously bought the car because the ease of mod-ability and a self-proclaimed love for their vehicle of choice. Its a much smaller, generally tighter-knit community because everyone else and their mother wants a true sports car like a Scion tC with a dealer-installed TRD supercharger kit. They need to take what respect they can get, and being as I HAD a modded Camaro like that, getting a thumbs up from an import guy was an immediate sign that he was NOT a douche, and I didn't hesitate to throw one back.
