Would I nod/wave at a Cayenne? Not unless he/she waves at me first.

all it takes is about 15 mintues of skimming the 911 board to figure out why they woudn't want to wave back. they probably think you've got strings leading from your nose to your fingers and you're trying to put your nose higher in the air using this method
. i had some friends from the Netherlands (none are Porsche owners, all are car enthusiasts) tell me what europeans think of older 911 owners in general and i'd rather not post the comments here
honestly though. i've talked with Porsche owners from around the country and i've noticed that inareas where people don't wave to each other in general... Porsche owners don't wave to each other much. i've also talked to car owners from around the world and wherever you have an area in which people are generally friendly; people will wave to each other regardless of the marque of the car. i used to have VW Scirocco owners waving to me when i had the Scirocco 16V. same deal some times with our Geo Tracker 4x4. but if we go to another, unfriendlier part of the country, then nobody waves to anybody there.
it's regional.
sure i'll wave to Cayenne drivers. i'm a realist that acknowledges that they're doing more to support and affect the future of Porsche with their $60,000+ purchase than I have in my entire life.
matter of fact, here's a wave for everyone in case i missed you the last time I was on the road!
