First time I encountered another Porsche driver while in the teener. He was in a beautiful red 993 of some sort. He actually waved first to my suprise! Hope he didn't hear me grind any gears. City life with bad syncros sucks!

Cool!
Remember, he's the last of the aircooled 911s, recognizes another true believer. I only hope you waved back.
ps. Does anyone still flash their lights (foglights) upon coming upon another Porsche? It was only fitting when I started out in Porschedom in 1974!
My wife and I decided that there are two types of Porsche owners; Por-sha owners and the guys that have a Porsh.
Por-sha guys love to drive twisty roads, even if (especially if) they are the only car on the road.
Porsh guys like to sit outside at Starbucks with their sunglesses on (at night) and shout into the cell phone "Yeah, I'm sitting outside so I can keep an eye on my Porsh..." while the voice on the other end chants "at the tone the time will be...".
Por-sha owners know what a 917 is...
Porsh owners think a 917 is a new PDA from Nokia...
Por-sha guys like to take care of their own cars.
Porsh guys stand in the door of their office and shout at the mobile detail guy over the phone. "Yeah, it's parked in the southwest corner of the lot, can't miss it. It's the red Porsh. Yeah the one taking up two spaces. can't be too carful when you own a PORSH!"
Por-sha owners wave at guys in 914s.
Porsh owners say "look out for that Fiat..."
Unfortunately, it seems that most of the newer cars are somebody's Porsh...
Yes, I waved back. I would've waved first, but I was busy trying to find second! @$^% I would've flashed my fog lights, but they don't work. Just like any 'other half', I love her, but she's still got some issues that need to be worked out. Sometimes she flat drives me crazy, but I drive her crazy all the time.
Mugs, all you said is right except for the remark about it being an aircooled thing. The truth is that the 'I've got a Porch' crowd is who Porsche markets to because that's who can afford it. It was the same crowd when the 993 was new, and as far back in Porsche's history as you want to go, for that matter. Just wait. In a couple more years, the first of the water cooled 911s will be just barely cheap enough for some real enthusiast to stretch the budget and buy. Then we should see some 996 TT wavers/flashers.... well, hopefully not flashers.

Excellent Mugs perfect observation .
my response to uppity Porsh owners if they don't wave
