Also extremely inconsiderate in NOVA, I lived in Crystal City, VA on and off for years and I got about 5 door dings in 6 months there in my 911, all the Prius drivers with the Yale sticker on the back, i'm sure the "US Paratrooper" plates on the back of my Porsche was not appreciated


If I see a 911 I generally wave, though if it's a 991 convertible....I might not - can't stand the look of them.

Interesting responses. I'm in NY / Manahttan and we've got a lot of P cars around here. I've a 991.1 C4S and it is my DD. Everyone in a 997 and older waves back or flashes lights. Ladies ( always in 991 of some sort ) never acknowledge and the guys in 991 are always hit or miss. In my head, when they guy in 991 doesn't wave back, I always think they are a snob and or don't understand. They could have gotten any other car ( in that price range ) but just happened to opt for the 911. At least, this time. On weekends, I drive 964 and the response rate is much higher. As well, I see a lot more 911 on the weekends and I think that is the point. The guy driving his 911 on the weekend loves his baby and is truly all in. It's not to say that DD porche drivers don't love their cars too - I certainly do but it brings in a different set of folks that just consider it another nice car and in a few years, it will be gone in favor for the flavor of the month.

If I see you, I'll wave. I don't expect a response but sometimes I'll get one. On my side of Phoenix 911s are a rare sight. I like to think a simple wave fosters comradery.

Nobody waves here, 911 owners are all snobby from what I've encountered.

I ride motorcycles primarily so I know what waving is about...I saw a 911 on the free way drove next to him to give a nod all he did was speed up and we're already going 75+.....so yeah whatever.


LOL.

Here in Switzerland I'd say 95% of 911 owners greet each other when passing and even give the odd thumbs up when next to each other at a crossing.

The remaining 5% are either because they don't see you OR because they bought one to be seen but have no further interrest in the brand.

I do (on and off) greet boxter drivers but it's 50/50 if I get a return wave. There are so many Cayenne' and Macan's around here so nothing special and out of the equation...

I thumbs up.
Waving is for the queen.

Thankfully we don't have circus "Royalty" in Switzerland

Et tu, Jim? Actually, I have observations both for and against the 991 waving problem. I have a 991 and I wave at anything Porsche. But just yesterday, another 991 and I came to a stop sign at exactly the same moment. We both had the 4 dot LED headlights so I have no doubt he knew I too was a 991. We made direct eye contact so see who would go first and I clearly waved while he looked right at me. He had to see me wave I had sunlight coming in the windshield... but he just looked away and drove on! Geez.

Cayenne's male or female almost never even look or wave. Macan drivers wave back a little more. Boxsters not so much but Caymans more so. Maybe a third of 911s maybe.

I got a nice wave from an Audi RS5 driver the other day and almost threw my arm out trying to quickly wave back before he was past.

We should be friendly to each other since most of the world think Porsche drivers are **** holes.

KenC4S

That's actually what I thought. LOL. snobs

I see so many 911's on a daily basis that my hand would be tired of waving, most of them are probably buying the car for the badge here in LA.

I give a peace sign or small wave from the top of the steering wheel to most Porsche drivers. I gave up on the Cayenne and Panamera drivers though after experiencing zero response from those drivers. Having said that, if ever end up owning one, I would do the same as I do in the 911. Enthusiasts are enthusiasts no matter what they drive.....for the most part.

Omnigeek

Acknowledging each other with a friendly wave is also common with motorcyclists. I suspect the drivers in the Cayennes and Macans are simply distracted, thinking more about their errands or what's on the stereo than the road. 911 drivers are far more likely to be watching the road and the cars around them.
