So i was driving to work this morning in the topless 914 (BTW, it snowed 2 days ago) and in front of me on the freeway was a brand new Carrera 4 Cabriolet. He pulled into the lane in front of me, looked in his rear view mirror and gave me the wave. I thought it was pretty cool, since he regcognized the 914 from his rear view mirrior. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I have been receiving the wave more recently it seems. and it's kind of nice to know that are ugly stepchild of a car is being recognized by other porsche owners.

Ugly stepchild?!?!?! Blasphemy! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

I think everyone's been giving the wave since the lakewood drivers ed incident. At least that's when people started giving me the wave. They even honk a few times when I pass 'em.

And how often is often. Twice a week? That could be often for some things but not often enough for others. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I'm going to put often anyway, and see if anyone calls me on it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)

No. The headlight wink is for other cars that can wink. Except honda del sols. Fiats and what not. I've never winked at a fiero. They're outcasts too.

Never on the 'street' unless it's a 914 or other early car. Always in the canyons, and pretty much all sports cars/bikes there including a thumbs up or down for road/police problems ahead.

I rarely wave at people all that much from my car. The jackstands kinda ruin the cool factor.

Back in the 70s my brother had a 914. When you saw another Porsche, which was rare, you would flash your headlights.

*rarely*, i voted ...

mostly from older 911s or 912s ...

seems like anybody who drives a post '90 porsche has never seen a 914 before.
they probably think i'm driving a fiat ...

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif) is the only wave I get from other porsche owners after I've passed them (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif). Except the local 914 guys. But they usually ring me up and call me ugly instead of waving (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/tongue.gif)

Yeah, if you count more than 50% as often. I find that the newer cars, driven by the open shirt and gold chain set are the ones that don't wave often. The other 914 drivers practically drive into your lane, waving with both hands and blowing the horn. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)
