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) |

My experience is about the same as everyone else's, new owners are clueless to the heritage.
I get the most waves and comments from peeps who drive older euro cars, had a guy in an Alfa chase me down, waving like crazy. I admit I am surprised how many people tell me that a relative had a 914 and they just loved that car. |
