I wave and or flash. I will get a return gesture about half the time, just a few years ago the response was much higher. It's funny when I am in one of my Vettes and pass another Vette owner I get a wave nearly 100% of the time.

Keep waving and flashing the percentage of waves and flash backs will go up - my grip is with the Boxster guys who don't seem to wave or flash when they see a 911, but when I post on the Boxster board, there are all types of stories how 911 drivers ignore them.

If we both happen to be shopping for clothes at Walmart, I just try to act normal and pretend I don't notice him, hoping he doesn't notice me either.

I give all Porsches a wave or high-beam flash - 911s, Boxsters, Caymans, Cayennes, even 928s... 
I was running right behind an older guy with a 997.1 C4S Cab for a good number of miles, got next to him, etc. - no response. People here in the DC area are a bit aloof...

Last week as I left work in my Cayenne and noticed a Boxster pull out the lot just before me, ithat I thought I'd seen before. When we got to the 1st light I waved but he ignored me. I figured, hmmm....must be this Cayenne. I ran behind him for the next few miles when he noticed I was behind him and he stepped on it. At the next light while right behind him again I then realized where I seen the car......my neighbor 3 houses down the street

Flash or wave during the day.
Not too excited about seeing a Boxster. In this area, boxsters outnumber 911's about 5:1. I probably should wave more often.
I rarely see a Cayman around here, so I wave.
I usually look the other way near a Cayenne. Too damn ugly.
And I always wave at the 'vettes when we both have our tops down.
