There's lots of Porsches in the Dallas Metroplex; I haven't seen any of them flash.

I wouldn't expect the SUV crowd to do so, or even the 911 guys, but even the Boxsters don't flash.

Maybe my mouthwash just ain't cuttin' it anymore.

Your sister flashes me even when she isn't in your car. I think she wants me to throw her some beads

I was wondering what the deal was with all the plane tickets to New Orleans.

generally speaking I will wave or nod to a flat engine Porsche / driver whenever seen. as far as the suv and 4 door drivers, they are generally waaaaaay too self absorbed to bother with and generally look at you like you are insane. an earlier post mentioned miatas, as a Miata owner also, we always wave, or if we're not too busy run each other down and hold conversations. as a former alfa romeo spider owner, we always ran each other down, always had conversations (but they were generally about who is fixing them or where to get parts to fix them

Oh, I get attention. People, in all types of cars, on bikes, walking, whatever, will stare. Which makes me very uncomfortable. What the HECK is the big deal?

But no one waves . . .

They're the same (what you said) when I drive any other car.

It's like they've never seen a woman drive a sports car before.

IF the Boxster is such a "chick car" you'd think everyone would be used to it.

I tried waving a few times when I first got the Boxster, but just gave up after a while.

they all get the "texas two-finger" wave. SUV's no. The boxster guys here tend to go out of their way to full hand wave or noticeable head nod. good group here in texas!

I was telling my wife about this thread, and on the way to the cottage today waved at a Boxster with no response, my wife laughed and reminded me we were driving our Canyon! Lol

Not a lot of Boxsters here in the area - so was excited when I passed one the other day. Gave him a big wave only to receive a big cold shoulder in return. I actually felt let down.
