Spock Jenkins, I think you managed to let your imagination take over your critical thinking on this particular post.

I am using critical thinking. I considered logically why a person who waives in one vehicle might not be able to waive in another. I did so in a way that did not assume the worst in that person. As far as the way I read the OP, a couple of comments stood out:

Let's see now: Our house is nicer, new windows/paint, and our yard is bigger. AND both our vehicles are nicer than his regular truck.

And:

Tell that to my neighbor. I'm not the one who needs that message.

Both of those statements indicate to me that the OP feels superior to the neighbor. So much so that the OP must find fault in the one luxury that the poor guy chooses to indulge.
Of course there is always the standard way out of calling a neighbor a snob who is not here to defend their side:

I was posting satirically.

As far as when a neighbor waives or doesn't waive getting anyones attention. I really couldn't tell you when my neighbors do our don't waive. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Likewise for me. I have no idea if there is any pattern to this at all. If they don't, I figure they're busy with something else or didn't see me. I really can't think of any distinction in behavior based on the vehicle being used. Other than the motorcycle. The guy on the motorcycle accross the street doesn't typically waive for obvious reasons.
