Even when I do instinctively wave back I usually have my tinted windows up so they may see a slight shadow at best or think I ignored them at worst. The moral of the story is that anybody that wants a wave needs to have a loud enough exhaust so I can find them and get my window down.
Oh sound, between the road noise and the music I can't hear anything quieter than an ambulance or police siren.

Yes, because there aren't at least half a dozen low slung modern sports cars out there. I have no idea how you could tell by the headlights, bright blindy things tend to be very hard to see when they are blinding you.

My area has enough of the douchey vape crowd that I'd probably intentionally ignore them anyways unless I knew their car specifically.
