I get the most serious waves back from bikers who are usually in the right lane on my rides. It's like they're looking at an exotic dressed up w/dirt, grime, filthy Fuchs and a CB antenna. And packed full with campground organized chaos that they can see.

When i do a wave act with a 1960s-1970 muscle car they wave back proudly because an old man in an exotic must know what he's looking at to start the thumbs up.
Hell.. he probably grew up w/muscle cars

Midgets aside, do you think that as the prices come down on the newer Porsches that there will be an increase in 'Enthusiast' ownership?
I think that maybe the case and as this starts to happen you will get more and more of the drivers of Boxsters and 996's waving back. Just a thought.

I think is lost on most people, more so on the newer car owners. I never find it to difficult to wave or nod, and if someone does not reciprocate, pass the nuts.......

Chees
Bikers and boaters seem to be the only ones that share a true sense of "brotherhood". Spend a day out on the water and your arm will be sore from all the waving!.
As far as the P-car wave I couldnt give a crap anymore.
