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).
