Hay unklekraker,
I get that blank stare from a lot of other Porsche owners where I live, you know, the
ones that have to own the current model in the dealership, and if you don’t own it, well your just a poser.
No problem they buy them for the status and I own them for the engineering.
Really feel sorry for the front engine owners though, I heard it is really brutal for them...

Even the guys with old 911's seemed to look down on them, their loss.

I don't know what was more annoying with the waving world the Jeeps or the VWs I've owned! I've owned several wranglers and several Vanagon/Westfalias. As much as I like online communities I'm just not interested in waving at every run of the mill Jeep I pass nor talk to every single person who comes to see my Westfalia in a parking lot.
There used to be a time when Jeeps, Vw and Porsches were rather unique but now anyone and everyone has them and a good percentage of the people are NOT worth waving or talking to about your hobbie. That is why I'm online as you can find those who share the interest...
I love my cars but they are for me...I'm not obsessed with the community and interest in the real world 24/7. Therefore sometimes I get sick of waving and sometimes I just think it's silly...because it's just a car!
Bottom line for me?
Some of us don't like to wave and it has nothing to do with "how cool" we think we are.

Interesting side note, I drive alot of GM cars due tp some consulting I do, I have Corvettes all the time and it seems Corvette owners almost ALWAYS wave at each other.
When I drive a Z06 they virtually stalk me.

That's your insurance agent stalking you...
