Default Lexus drivers saying hi, while driving ?

Anyone notice that more Lexus drivers are saying high when driving passed you?
Is this only in Miami?
I thought this was only for bikers and Subaru owners.....

No one in Southern California does this.... A cute girl driving a non f-sport UW gunned it as soon as she saw me.
Jokes on her though because i found her even more attractive after realizing she is a beast behind the wheel.

I've only gotten thumb ups from G35s/37s. The bimmers don't say hi back. They just say thanks.
