What I've been doing for a Miata wave is to push my headlight button so   
the
lights pop-up and then go down.  It seem to be catching on here in   
Oregon, a
little.
It's the Miata secret hand shake.

I ran this a little while ago, but it looks like it's time to run it   
again:

Flash to pass diode - (for relative newbies) If you have a pre-94 you can
install a diode quickly and easily which will raise the headlights and   
turn
on the high beams when the stalk is pulled back.  Great for 'waving' to   
other
Miatae and announcing your presence (and desire to pass) on curvy roads.   
   

It's radio shack  p/n 276-1114 which is inserted into a wiring harness   
under
the steering column.  To save bandwidth, I won't post it here, but would   
be
happy to send info to any 'net member, complete with handy installation   
tips.
 The diodes cost $1.50 for three, so you have two for other miata   
friends!
It's easy, cheap and fun!  (does that mean it's loose?  Louise? a louse?)
