My experience as a tourist in California; I was confused with no lights flashing!!

Seriously, though, I had a blast in LA in early 95. Went to buy a plastic forming machine and happened to schedule it the same weekend as Long Beach GP. It was a hoot and I really enjoyed the entire area.
I warned the rental car company about a "suspicious" brake problem on the Neon I returned. It seems it had mysterious clouds of smoke coming from the front wheel wells on several canyon roads!

It used to be, decades ago, all sports cars waved to each other as well as motorcycles.
then in the 80's harleys only waved to Harleys and Vettes to Vettes

it seems now no one hardly waves

Besides the Boxster I have two Harleys which my wife and ride often with friends and alone. We always wave at anyone regardess of the brand or type of motorcycle they are on. We also have friends that have other brands of motorcycles and we ride together, so not all Harley owners are snobs. In fact my wife and I sometimes do not get waves back from people on Harleys and other brands. As noted previously, it could be becasue they are new and do not know about waving.
