what do you do when you see another box?

There are quite a few Boxsters in SoCal, I wouldn't take it personally if they didn't acknowledge back. I definitely wave on twisty roads tho, you know it's an enthusiast up there (it's even moreso when your riding a bike and wave to other bikers).

This car was regarded as a 'trophy wife car' by my friends when I first considered it, but I ignored them because it's such an amazing car overall. Sadly tho, most of the people I see driving them around my area seem to fall into that category

Good observation. I love the Porsche blip. In twisties country (which is where I mostly drive mine) I blip my lights to a Porsche and get a blip back 90% of the time (half the time, the other Porsche blips first). We both know why we're there and what we're doing. If it's a DE or a club race weekend at Limerock, there are Porsche blips galore on the country roads in the 30 mile radius around it. As I go to more PCA events I start to even recognize people and Porsches so then the blip replaces a human 'hi'. Most Porsche people I've met there are good, down-to-earth, folks.

In conclusion, if the car (Porsche), road (twisties), and purpose (joy) all meet, the blip exchange is almost guaranteed. To the extent that one, two, or all three of these conditions are not there, the blips become less likely (e.g. a congested highway on the way to work).

I see no reason to wave to other boxsters, I do wave to other motorcycle riders when im on my bike, but just is not the same in a car.

I have actually gotten several waves and thumbs up from motorcycle guys...especially Harley riders!

Same here. I think it's the love for the twisties that connects.
