You guys in Kalifornia and West-Side Washington just live in a different culture. Over here in the Columbia Basin desert there are too few Porsches for us to be fickle about who were friendly with. We stick together be it a 993 or a 924 (cough). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I flash the lights at any P-car I see and get a wave almost every time*. Half the time they beat me to it. Heck, I get the thumbs up and wave from all the old Beetle and Ghia drivers too. This month I got the wave from a 912, a 928, and a babe in a 944 who I couldn't wave back at because I was in the middle of a shift and she caught my eye right as we passed. Most enthusiastic greeting I ever got was from a guy in a red 911 turbo w/ license plate 'XSIVSPD'. He seemed way too enthusiastic, but then again he was driving a 911 turbo. I'd be rather giddy too if it were me.

*Two local Boxster drivers are the exception. One male, one female - both young looking. Neither will give a passing glance. I don't care. They'll sell their Porches soon and move on to a new status car, and the Porsche population will step up in quality again.
