so you see motorcycles do it all the time.....they wave at each other when they pass.

I saw TWO 914's within 20 minutes here in the PNW and all I can do is wave like freak and they just stare. OOPS.

What 'special' wave can we create so know it is us......? Besides my crazed franic waving. Suggestions?

So I was on the Issaquah-Hobart Road yesterday at noon when I saw em.

Any one here? Here is the pic I got of ONE when we stopped at a traffic light, the other was going the opposite direction. Yes, I pulled up next to him and pointed to his open trunk!

Funny, because I motioned the typical motion to ROLL down the window....the passenger (not over 20 yoa) had to look to the driver and had no idea what I was motioning him to do! Yea, iPods, X-box, and power windows are ruining the teens of this world!! GRRRRRR.

Who who is this?????

You weren't driving a 914!

Posted by: scotty b Aug 29 2010, 05:13 PM

I typically remind other teener drivers that they truely are number 1 in my book.

FTFM

If that copper 914 has chromed 2L Fuchs, I met the owner at the WCR 2008 in Isaquah. Name may be Jim Phillips ?

This is Ron's secret 914 wave. It's kinda like the secret handshake.

Posted by: Pat Garvey Aug 29 2010, 06:54 PM

I like it, but my tongue is smaller. Can we come up with a middle digit salute (I'm patrial to that), but wirh something non-tongular (just coined a phrase I thonk)?

VW "volks" (I thought it was funny...) give the peace sign when we pass eachother. There is even a forum on the Vortex to post other VW's that you have seen on the road. Most read "passed this wicked low mk1 with P-slots on 512 by canyon. Peace signs exchanged."

What works for teener, porsche, NARP, I feel your pain, or glad yours is off jackstands for now?

I like the VW shocker hand gesture. It is called the shocker because in gynecologic circles it is the sign for recto-vaginal examinations. "Two in the pink, one in the stink!" The stink one being that actual SHOCKER part

you have been hanging around trannys way to long doc

Posted by: rick 918-S Aug 29 2010, 08:02 PM

OMG!

Posted by: Mr.242 Aug 29 2010, 09:22 PM

But a good friend of mine who is an OBGYN says "that shocker...naw, it's when your not sure which one is the STINK over the other one....NOW that's a SHOCKER!" AND

Wait for it doc, you'll be there one day in training......

Can we go with this as the 914World Wave as this?

I kinda knew this guy wasn't really with us...I was in my F350 with BinFord in tow. Had he been on 914World he would have seen the latest forum on our BBQ. He followed me damn near to my house, so thought he was one of us and was going to stop in to see my build. Guess not

Just use the Porsche flash.

Posted by: nsr-jamie Aug 30 2010, 08:46 AM

How about a thumbs up?

Posted by: bandjoey Aug 30 2010, 08:55 AM

Can't get my rear out the window that fast! 911's must have more room is that's how they greet each other.

Posted by: underthetire Aug 30 2010, 09:20 AM

I like the upside down piece symbol. As in spread um baby.

Posted by: Mr.242 Aug 30 2010, 09:29 AM

It would look like you're throwing down some NARP gang sign, I LIKE IT. Then we should bump it twice to the heart and rotate to a thumbs up.

If the guy FLIPS YOU off back......It's us!

WORD!

Posted by: RobW Aug 30 2010, 09:33 AM

Some ideas:

Swerving off the road (not uncommon enough here in CA though)
Flash headlights (if they work fast enough)
Give them the two handed vw sign plus signing 914 with all four limbs
Notice them (self explanatory)

Go to your local meet n greet and get to know them... (I know.. too much work)..

Posted by: underthetire Aug 30 2010, 10:15 AM

How about the girl scout salute.

use the OK symbol thumb to forefinger. turn it on its side its a P for Porsche. My kid came up with that.

Posted by: underthetire Aug 30 2010, 10:30 AM

Ok, thats a good one! I vote for that one.

Classic!

Posted by: roadster fan Aug 30 2010, 12:26 PM

That is a good one except in the town I work in that sign stands for "Posada" which is short for La Posada Trece, a Sureno criminal street gang. Flash that to the other side and end up dead. I would pass on that one unless you are packing heat

I think it is funny how when I see "new" 914's around that the drivers seldom wave back, where as when I see a car and driver I know is on the "world" they usually wave first. I think the non-"world" owners think they have a pinky raising special car. Nobody has told them it is a NARP/VW/VOPO yet

I like the "shocker" as the official sign tho! That will really offend the 911 crowd.

There are gangs in Aptos

We go to SeaCliff almost every year.

Posted by: Sleepin Aug 30 2010, 12:35 PM

Smashmouth had it for our 914's...

With her finger and her thumb,
In the shape of an 'L' on her forehead...

Posted by: underthetire Aug 30 2010, 12:37 PM

ouch

Posted by: montoya 73 2.0 Aug 30 2010, 01:17 PM

I second or third the motion!

Posted by: RobW Aug 30 2010, 03:10 PM

No , that means married...

Posted by: ripper911 Aug 30 2010, 03:32 PM

I say, Bullwinkle horns.

Thumbs on the side of your head with the other fingers spread high!

Posted by: Mr.242 Aug 30 2010, 04:36 PM

How About a combo of the middle finger AND a Thumbs up!

For YOU be F'd up in that 914!


It's multi-directional....depending on the reaction of the person receiving the wave.

Posted by: underthetire Aug 30 2010, 04:50 PM

Is that F-U and I need a ride again?

Posted by: Drums66 Aug 30 2010, 04:59 PM

Anything else is VW

Posted by: swl Aug 30 2010, 05:29 PM

needs the fingers spread out into a tripod - homage to the noble jackstand.

Posted by: Pat Garvey Aug 30 2010, 07:25 PM

Agree! That's the best. Took me almost 5 years to get one from another Porsche. Now they know we can kick butt. Don't agree, look at the PCA Parade autocross FTD winners over the last 15 years. See many911's/928's/944's, et all in that group. Hmmm, wonder why?

Posted by: jt914-6 Aug 30 2010, 08:52 PM

Years ago the flash was the thing to do. With 914's though sometimes the lights didn't come up quickly enough....The "new" Porsche owners would think there is a cop up ahead....

Posted by: nsr-jamie Aug 31 2010, 06:47 AM

Flash your fog lights...mine flash quickly, no need to use the headlights as they are too slow...

Posted by: jt914-6 Aug 31 2010, 06:50 AM

You can't flash what you don't have......

Posted by: qa1142 Aug 31 2010, 07:01 AM

how about this?

What are the odds that 2 914s within driving distance of each other will actually be running anyway?

Posted by: pcar916 Aug 31 2010, 05:15 PM

I bought my 914-6 conversion in San Francisco in 1994. Having owned the car for a week, and that day, running the Skyline drive route and out to Half Moon bay, I heard a scream from my left and saw a woman hanging out of the passenger window of... something, wildly waving at me as I took that exit. I especially noticed noticed she was holding up the six-finger query.

I shook my head yes as I was taking the exit too fast, but never knew who that was. She never introduced herself at a later event, but she was incredibly cute! I'm sure that had nothing to do with the fact that she was two-thumbs up at my car.

I've often though it might have been Mrs. K!!!!! Did I say that out-loud?

I move that the 914world response should be a thumbs-up immediately followed by a Hawaiian hang loose? It' obvious a compound response is required!

Posted by: BiG bOgGs Aug 31 2010, 05:39 PM

I am interested in the secret wave for when I am not in my teener. I drive for my work and I would like a wave that says I am a 914 owner too. Flashing lights, might work as a way to say howdy to a fellow teener when two are passing in their teeners, but most people would be wondering why some family truckster is flashing their lights at them.

So far I like the idea of three fingers pointing down to represent jack stands.

Posted by: avidfanjpl Aug 31 2010, 07:28 PM

I like the tripod thing too as long as it doesn't:

1. Get one of us shot for not being in the right gang

2. Get us busted for some sign language that we are trying to pick up a hooker and we are lying about what we are really packing

3. Have little kids giving us the finger back when they don't understand, but they saw Dad doing it when a riceburner cut him off in his teener last weekend

I have only seen 1 in 16 months of owning Orangina.

That includes going to several Breakfast Clubs and Donuts meetings in OCR.

Almost no one shows up with a teener unless it is an AX, then there are 2.

But I have not put mine in the shape I want to till this coming weekend.

I hope...........

Posted by: SLITS Aug 31 2010, 08:27 PM

Truckers flashing head lights means a Blue Meanie is on the roll on your side, hiding behind something, a problem exists up ahead of you, or you left your high beams on stupid.

Hookers use CB in the rest stops.

The "Universal Bird of Happiness" salute is for teener owners. For all others .... well, it depends on what they do. I'll give them a thumbs up unless it's a Cayenne.

No bullet holes in my doors yet!

Posted by: carr914 Sep 1 2010, 05:49 AM

I think San Francisco already has a wave

Posted by: mojorisen914 Sep 1 2010, 07:11 AM

How about the 'Hi Sign' from the Little Rascals. You know; hand waving from under your chin??

Posted by: Mr.242 Sep 9 2010, 11:13 PM

come on...saw another 914 and I had nothing.

I was ready to do all that have been mentioned, but I had to put my cell phone down since I was texting, emailing, and dialing a call.

I missed the chance to do the 3 finger jackstand "gang sign"

Posted by: roadster fan Sep 10 2010, 12:10 AM

Ha, I used to live in the Seacliff area, moved one exit south to Rio Del Mar a few years back. No I said the town I work in......not Aptos. I work in Salinas, CA which I like to call "the new armpit of California". You've been to Aptos , not much to do for work here.


Jim

Posted by: simonr Sep 10 2010, 05:17 AM

I like the OK symbol with all four fingers shaken up and down . It says it all!!!!

Posted by: underthetire Sep 10 2010, 07:42 AM

That makes more sense. Salinas is oakland south. Aptos is awesome, so is Rio Del Mar.

Posted by: bandjoey Sep 10 2010, 01:22 PM

We can all add a police side spotlight to the door and flash that at each other.

Posted by: plays with cars Sep 10 2010, 11:20 PM

Alright, so every group or club seems to have a unique greeting. What if we just wave? I don't think anyone is using that because they all came up with something unique which leaves the wave uniquely to us.

Or this one is always an option:

Posted by: Mr.242 May 1 2011, 08:12 AM

We will have the 914's out in force today around Seattle.

Wave normal or throw the three finger jackstand wave!

Wahooo.....Seattle is going to hit 66 degrees (ish) today. Warmest day of the year so far. We've been hit with crappy weather way too long.

xXx Drive-In here we come.

Posted by: sww914 May 1 2011, 09:47 AM

I'll follow Slit's lead. If you see a hammered black teener that's way too low and an ugly guy with a goatee flipping you off, well, that's me.

Posted by: balljoint May 1 2011, 10:32 AM

I give all 914 drivers around here the thumbs up.

If I ever see SLITS out while I am travelling I will be sure to get the Bird out.

Posted by: jimtab May 1 2011, 12:08 PM

It's cause Ron isn't too good when the numbers get big....he likes number 1...
