Do you wave at other 911s?

[James McScotty]

I do, and they usually wave back. Takes me back to my first car, a 1969 VW Beetle, acquired in 1985. Beetles always used to wave. Seems like I've come home.

Yes. But Boxster owner's never ever seem to wave back; nor do women driving Porsches.

Funny - I drive a 986, always wave, and find some 911 owners don't wave back.

Always used to wave back in the day in the MG and a few years ago in the Elise. I never had any acknowledgment until this morning when an old boy in a pristine 80's 3.2 waved at me so I waved back. He's probably saying some old boy in a 997 waved back to him ... Nice though...

I only wave at the wife.

.. got to be careful waving a boxters/cogsters etc, folk might think you're a hair dresser, or have sub conscious leanings...

I've had a good run of wavings recently during / after overtaking manouevres, 1 finger, 2 fingers, 2 fingers and thumb in a circle, and 2 builders in a van last week, both using both hands gesturing and hurling profanities .. my best 1 ever ..

I wave at 997's but 996's and Boxsters are not worthy, conversely I do not expect to be waved at by 991 drivers. No one waves at Panamera or Cayenne drivers............;)

Lol. I find fello 993 owners wave at other 993 owners.

However I waved at a 964 owner the other day and they just ignored me.

Water cooled? They wouldn't give me the time of day, so I don't bother.

[Prof Beard]

I just like waving....

[Bill Stein]

Only the Queen should wave.
Oh and people who are drowning.

I wave at other 911s. I even stretch my courtesy to 964s and 993s. Kettles can fk off.

[clockworks]

Quite a few Boxsters and Caymans down here, but I've only seen one other 911 while I've been driving my 964. Strangely, it was another 964, and it was on the day that collected it. Pulled alongside me on the dual carriageway, and we both did a double-take.
Of course, it's possible that I've see some 996/997s on the road, but mistaken them for Caymans or Boxsters.........

I can't wave. I'm usually trying not to crash.

Don't roll your eyes. This is actually a very poignant statement.

Driving a 911 close to the edge (Or what we think is the edge) is the core reason that this silly car exists. It makes you feel alive near (And over!) its limits.

'Trying not to crash' is just another way of saying it.
