I live in a small town of only about 10,000. I'm aware of 5 other Porsches here: 2 944s, 1 987 Boxster, 1 997 Cabrio and a 991 C4S. We ALL wave to each other. Met the 991 owner while I was washing my car; he came up and struck up a conversation about mine. The 997 driver is the father of my son's friend, me makes me rev when I drop my son off because he "kinda has a man-crush on my car."
Around here, Vette owners are a dime a dozen, only had one ever initiate a wave and one strike up a conversation at the car wash. Most just look away.
A few months ago, however, I did get passed on the interstate by an Elise from out of the state. He paced alongside me for a bit, with a big wave, we checked out each other's cars for a few seconds, then off he went.
I've just always assumed that the "car people" don't care whether theirs is more expensive than mine, they just like cool cars. The people who buy just for the badge (doesn't matter which one) are elitist.
