I always try to wave if I see another 911.

LIES!

its 9 and 3!!!

LOL @ some replies...
yesterday I got the "cool wave" from a Cayman right before he turned into a jack *** and cut 3 cars off to show how fast his car is? I felt embarrassed for his girl in the car....maybe she likes it I dont know...I mean he cut between to cars i didnt think he would fit - it was CLOSE

I wave at all - water, air, SUV, or luxury - same blood lines....you can choose your friends but not your relatives

I wave and get wave backs in the 944t but not so much in the Pepper....

I wave or flash when I notice - sometimes the other driver see me first...

I think the wave is something I carried over from my Motorcycle riding days. It was very common in that community(cruiser or crotch rocket) and have noticed much of the same brotherhood from the Porsche community.

starting to wave and I'm ZERO for 15! One lady in a 996 thought I was hitting on her! my wife and kids were in the car too!

Oh well....

As I stated before and others here, there is more of a "brotherhood" between air cooled owners. Probably because we are part of the "rarer" breed of Porsche owners. On another point, I don't wave at anything watercooled anymore (I rarely ever got a response) and never did wave at anything but a Carrera in the first place.

Could be. I wonder too if some of the lack of response, not just in the Bay Area, is a sign of the times. People are more guarded, self-absorbed, less likely in general to just wave or respond to a stranger. And sure, the sports car/Porsche demographic has also changed some.

I wonder about people who identify themselves by the cars/bikes they own. I understand it, but still wonder about them.....I would love to see pick-up drivers waving to each other, that would be funny.
I wonder if there's an F150 forum that has a bunch of guys from brokeback mountain talking about why they're not getting a return wave in town????
Better yet, I wonder what the regular world would think after reading this thread. That's George Carlin funny.

I always wave to other 911s, new or old. And if they don't wave back I get my wittle feelings hurt. But then soon after another 911 driver will wave to me before I have time to wave back. Then I feel bad for not returning their wave.

I just need to buy a mechanical hand and stick it on my dashboard so it waves at everyone.

I always give the wave to all 911's. Get a wave back over half the time.

When I had a 1968 911 it was common for a wave between Porsche drivers. These days I often wave but rarely a wave back.

The vette comment has me remembering when I bought a used 1969. I remember telling all of my friends that whoever owned the car before me must have had a lot of friends because every time another vette went by they waved like they knew me, so I just waved back. My ignorance became quite the joke among friends.

one of the biggest "brotherhoods" out there is between motorcycle riders. I ride myself, but currently do not own. Ever bikery I have ever came across while riding and still I observe to this day, gives each other a signal. Usually a below the tank thumbs up or something of that nature.

Wannabeproracer

SARGEPUG - Agreed! Bikers ALWAYS acknowledge each other, totally cool about it, I remember a Harley guy giving me a thumbs up on my Ducati...

I always wave, usually just open my hand while on the steering wheel, and most of the times get a response.

Now, the way some are treating the 991 and its new owners, I wonder if my wave will be welcomed.

Will the 997 and older model guys wave to the 991?
