Amazingly, after I had long since given up ever being acknowledged by the drivers of 996's after I had given them a nice look and wave, some guy in a really nice black 996 cab actually waved enthusiastically at me
first! I was so surprised that I almost forgot to wave back, then I had to work double-time to get my hand up for a quick wave before he passed me and thought
I was the prick with the '"classic"
I'm guessing that the 996 was not his first Porsche...and understands the feeling of brotherhood amongst us.
