For the past year I’ve lived in Stuart, FL, on the Treasure Coast. Almost every driver of a Porsche I encounter gives me a wave. Out here the Porsche drivers of all vintages seem to love, love, love the marque.

You are probably correct that getting a wave from other 911 drivers is very dependent on location. I can understand it in FL.
I'm in the NY/NJ/PA/CT area and here I'm far more likely to receive acknowledgement from drivers of other classic sports or muscle cars than from the driver of a newer 911 - like the wave & thumbs up I got (and returned) from a replica Cobra driver, and from the driver of a Alfa Spider, the last time my '87 911 was out for a drive.
