Well, apparently you really don't know your cars! It's not a Honda, and I took the photo.

Any takers on what it is? (One hint,--it's British).

Most 997 do not return my wave.

In an attempt to make an excuse for them, I think they are just folks who wanted a fancy new sports car and do not know an Abarth from a Pinto. It could have been a AMG, a Aston or a Porsche.... they picked the one that matched their fetish of the moment.

Maybe down the road, after enjoying their car, they delve into the history and realize the wave/headlight flash is simply a nod of the head to another person who has fallen in love with the same mistress.

...regardless of where her "engine" is placed.

It's a Rover 800 or "Sterling" as it was known over here. Underneath there's still a bit of Honda if you look closely enough.

Got to be nice to people. It never goes out of style. Wave to fello Porsche or other sports car driver if you want to be nice. Don't get in an accident over it though.

The wave thing is car-type related and is no snobbery. Sports cars drivers tend to wave to other sports cars drivers. I see no sense for a 911 owner to wave to a sedan or an SUV, although I see 911 drivers waving to Miata drivers.
