In the 1970's whenever I passed another Porsche going in the opposite direction we always flashed our lights. I especially though this was cool since I had a 914.
I still flash my lights, here in Florida, but rarely get a response. I know Porsche has many more models now but think we should resurrect this once not-so-secret hand shake we all enjoyed. Thoughts? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |

What happened? Porsche SUV's owned by soccer moms who've never seen or heard of a 914. They're wondering why that weird tiny car with a trail of smoke behind it is flashing it's lights at them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
Seriously though, I usually give a wave. Rarely get one back from modern Porsches. I usually get one back from other classic cars. |
