He was probably just letting you know that you were dragging your Cardsn shaft...

You would be surprised to learn how many P!g herders fall for the fake (.)(.)

Guys with their shafts in plain view are the easiest.

I have yet to get a return wave from a Cayenne in my 5 years of 996 ownership. What others have said is true, the older the Porsche, the more likely they are to wave.

I have a female coworker who recently acquired a Cayenne and I explained to her that it was very important that she wave to all the other Porsches on the road. She thought this behavior was a bit adolescent but she agreed to go along for the good of the marque. She has consistently reported back that not a single driver has returned her salute to date. The final straw was the day she passed me while waving furiously and I apparently didn't see her and therefore didn't wave back either!

And there you have it... most of today's drivers are too busy texting or talking on the phone to notice other traffic

Ha! Drove to Idaho to see the family over the 4th, and got a same-make-wave (from a brand new Carrera S, no less).

it wasn't really a wave ... more like pointing and laughing ... but at least they noticed you.
