Do SLK drivers wave?
I've had some sports cars that are unique enough that drivers wave to one another - Corvette, RX-8, MG, etc. The SLK is different enough from other Mercedes, and a unique enough vehicle, that I would think that SLK drivers would wave to others. So, do you wave to other SLKers?

i sometimes get wierd looks...
I think its because they dont like seeing such a young kid in this kind of cars, if only they new what they are not worth THAT MUCH..at least not now, I think its jsut the hard fact of it being a "benz".

Wave
When I ride my Harley -> I wave at bikers and all other bikers wave back. 
When I drive my Jeep Wrangler -> I wave at other Jeep Wranglers and they all wave back unless they are talking on cellphones.
When I drive the SLK -> My wife drives this car but I'll drive when we go out on a date and take her car. Out of habit, I wave at other SLKs but it seems that they just raise their noses at me a little bit more... or maybe they're rasing their noses at my wife? Just no sense of community on the road.
