waving always seems to work if the ohter driver can see you but even that sometimes results in a blank stare. flashing lights on two lane back roads works best for me.

Waving

I am 65 and have had one kind or other rag top since i was 18. I wave at all rag tops from cheap and old to new and expensive. I get very few wave backs. I also owened bikes and got waves from most, except racers. Don't know why people aren't more friendly. HAVE A NICE DAY

I always wave or flash my lights when I see women driving topless.

Thumbs up

I have been waved at a couple of times and returned the wave while driving my Boxster. We do not have many Porsches where we live so I have not run into too many. Suprisingly we drove to Miami for Christmas and in alsmot 1000 miles never came across another Porsche. I saw many BMWs, MBs, amd Jaguars, one Bugatti, one Maserati and a Lamborghini/ I know this is not germane to the thread, I just thought it odd. I also ride a bike and always wave at other riders regardless of the type or brand on motorcycle they are on.

i usually always flash, and if the other P-car is far enough ahead, i usually get one back (even 911's)

..and if I'm in the 914... well... sometimes it's more of a wink lol
