I wasn't this enthusiastic. Maybe that was problem. I'll roll open my top and wave like the Gumpster....

Saw a convertible 996 the other day driving in my same direction. I kept looking over to see if he would give me a nod or something but he seemed too self important to care what was going on around him. He kept accelerating from 10-40 mph just to hear the sound of his obviously modified exhaust. I just had to shake my head and leave him in the dust to the sound of my Sport mode farts.

Same thing in the Corvette (sorry for cursing guys) community. Difference between sports car enthusiasts and status car enthusiasts

Back in the day, the traditional exchange was a quick double blink of the light horn. Most 911's used to do it.. I still do it from habit....

My wife asked me why I didn't wave the other day - I was in a Panamera loaner and the other vehicle was a Macan - I'm usually pretty good with waving to other Porsche owners regardless of model - (and for sure 911's) - Macans are definitely on the periphery of the 'wave' and less likely to reciprocate but I still (usually) do it. Obviously, my wife caught me out on that day.

When I first got the 911 - it was an adjustment for her to see me waving - and questioned me, if that was really a 'thing'.

Way back when... in the olden days... when I came to CA and bought my first Porsche- a ‘66 912... you ALWAYS waved if you saw another 911/912 or 356... and while there were more P-cars in So Cal than anywhere else in the US, still- there were not that many... and you could go days without seeing another one... the relative rarity of these cars produced a camaraderie that was deeper than just waves... I remember once being in Beverly Hills looking for a parking spot and seeing a gorgeous silver 911 just pulling out to the street... the driver saw me in his rear view and stopped for a moment, motioned me to pull ahead and take his spot... we smiled at each other, waved and even saluted... his name was Paul Newman...

I wave only to Cayenne drivers just to confuse them.

Lot's of confused housewives.

That sir, is a great story!

Rarely will anyone wave at me as 911's are very common. Occasionally I will get one and sometimes there will be some mutual admiration though. On motorcycles, almost always a "low hand" wave unless they are "cool" bikers in an MC.

I wave every time! I also will give a cayenne gts/turbo owner a wave because its my experience that its not their only Porsche when they go for one of those models. Or at least not their first.

Totally agree with your assessment!

Pulled into drugstore the other day and parked next to a 991.1 Turbo S, he was in the car and totally didn't acknowledge me. Guess I was beneath him.
