The average Panny, Cayenne, or Macan driver has no clue what the wave even is. Add the high female contingency into those, and they'd look at you like you're insane or a stalker.

I live in San Francisco and I get plenty of waves back. Probably 90% return rate on a fellow 911, and slightly less on Boxsters/Caymans/924s/944s/etc. I do not even try with Cayennes, Macans or Panameras though.

I love this "tradition". I flash&wave at 911s in Toronto all the time. Always get a wave back. Love it.

Do you every catch yourself waving to other 911s/Boxsters/Caymans when in your daily driving non-Porsche? Hahahahahah, people probably think I know them, or I'm a crazy man!

Here in the Seattle area I have yet to see any Porsche wave or flash when I am out in my 911. Quite different on the motorcycle though. Everyone waves except for the chopper guys.

As a cyclist, this is pretty funny but honest.
With regard to the original question,people around here would look at you like you're crazy if you flashed your lights or waved at them. As a Porsche owner you're not that important or impressive in the land of Ferrari's, Lamborghini's and McLaren's.

I can tell which jeep wrangler driver is gonna give the wave by the vehicle itself. The 4 door soccer mom version will never wave, the guy with a bikini top half doors and KC lights will always wave. Millenials have a problem waving in general because that would mean they have to look away from their device.
