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) |

It's the disconnect between the real Porsche enthusiasts, and those who just buy them because they have the money to own a "Porsh."

It's the disconnect between the real Porsche enthusiasts, and those who just buy them because they have the money to own a "Porsh." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I understand that many are not familiar with the 914, but even in my guards red '84 Carrera with its tail and rather loud Fabspeed exhaust, most other Porsche owner are oblivious, to them their Porsche is just car with some prestige. However, many WRX, STI, and Legacy GT owners acknowledge my Suby... This also reminds me of 20 something girl who pulled into C&C one day in her new Mercedes SLS AMG which drew a crowd. One person asked how she liked the car, and she said she loves driving it because of all the attention she gets. The guy clarified his question with how do you like driving it? She didn't know how to respond... |
