There are 2 Saabs on my side of the hill, 3 on the next hill before I get out of the neighborhood. Before I bought a Saab, I thought they were rare. Guess I just wasn't paying attention. Now here in Washington, DC I see them everywhere. Audis still seem more prevalent because of their AWD on our hills - besides the SUV's and other cars that just are fair weather. Our hills are just sort of survival of the fittest. Short, steep and murder in winter weather.
Does anyone wave? No. Lots of closet wavers giving the "look of recognition"....clearly thinking about waving, but not about to let the big city cool wear off. Long ago and far away I had a Beamer 2002 (in Nashville no less) and everyone flashed their lights at each other on the highways....no matter where you were. Only worried when the State Troopers flashed them back at you as you crested the hill....usually they just wanted you to stop for an autograph, a chat, or something. Ah....but that was another time, and wore off long ago when BMW moved to smoked glass, major subassemblies, and ceased to be a car for the guy who maintained his own.
I wouldn't pin it on anti-social behaviour....I mean half the folks are socializing on the phone with someone and the others probably just juggling their coffee and dodging these folks. It's a different ball game when the automarket moves from 10 million to 15 million cars a year.
