Do you feel some kind of weird kinship with people who drive the same brand of car that you do?

Do you notice if there are two other Toyotas waiting at a stop light and are like, “hi bros” or, if someone cuts you off, are you like, “WTF, dude? Where is the Honda solidarity”?

I felt more solidarity when I drove a Subaru. Now I drive a Toyota and don’t have the energy to feel kinship with every other person.

I have a 2003 toyota camry with 250,000 miles on it and no muffler, so yes, when i see another 2003 camry, i tend to feel a little connection with them

Anytime I see a Honda CRV, I assume it’s a soccer mom who wanted something slightly sportier than a minivan.

When I see it’s a male driving it, I was to say yes bro and give them a high five.

When it’s a male driving the CRV and it’s in baby blue — I stop looking in the mirror.

If you really want kinship buy a Jeep Wrangler.

For me, my ride is plain vanilla and pretty valueless (people driving it don't tend to have much choice/options otherwise) but there's a gentlemanly nod in play, for sure. A blend of "Hey! You got one too!" and "Yeah, I know man, feels bad."

For me, it's like meeting an ex's ex; yeah, I understand what you're going through, it's not how many times you fall, but how many times you get back up...

Unless it's a field sobriety test, and then both matter.

I drove a Miata for a short time and other Miata drivers would give piece signs or make the headlights go up and down at me.

Maybe if it's a less common model. If you're talking about just the make (i.e. people that drive Toyotas, but that includes the Camry, RAV4, Sienna, Tundra, etc) then no.
