The Porsche Wave-Ten Simple Rules

[RarlyL8]

My post was tongue in cheek. I was hinting at the SC. The original posting ended with the additional words "even an SC " I backed over them before submitting the reply.

Point is that you can make a Radio Flyer into an auto-x champ with the right parts. Our old cars just don't measure up to todays standards. Even the mighty 930 in stock form would be dusted by many common cars of today.

As far as "not a real Porsche" goes, that is just a goofy statement. If there is a crest on the hood it is a real Porsche and I want to talk to you about it. I love 'em all.

Ha, even that piece of dreck the Cayenne? I don't think so...

...You do realize that the 914 didn't originally have a crest on the hood, right?

That's OK--if we add up what everyone says is "not a real Porsche", about the only real ones we wind up with are the 550s and 904s. Which are awesome cars, but the "Real Porsche Club" would be a very very small club in that case...

Oh boy, here we go...........

[RarlyL8]

No, I didn't know that the 914s were missing the crest.
They are still interesting cars. I'd love to mod one for auto-x use. Economic track whore (maybe trailor track whore, track slut, or track lot lizard?)

The Cayenne makes me cringe. It is a real Porsche but it is not a sportscar. Many sportscar folks (like myself) have a dislike for anything SUV. But it IS a Porsche. So if I see one I will talk to you about it. But probably not for very long.

Yup....also came w/o a radio or AC....I always love arguing with some evilbay weenie when he claims that his crappy delaer installed am/fm is oem and in concour condition....

[armandodiaz]

I've said it 100 times. Porsche HAD to come up with the Cayenne, how else are you going to tow your track car? I also still believe they should Baja the Cayenne, like the 959s.
I still am trying to stomache the 4 door coming out. Since they own Audi and VW they should have left that up to them. I also heard rumors of Porshce buying out Fiat, which owns Ferrari and Masaratti. That's where the high-pro 4 doors belong(with Masaratti).

Market diversifaction...coke, diet coke, water...gotta love it

[JmuRiz]

Naturally I always wave at the 914s...and pretty much any other Porsche I see. Granted it's VERY rare that I get a wave or even a glance back from a Boxster, 996 or Cayanne.

Then again I always thought were were supposed to flash our brights at eachother, not wave.

VW owns Audi. Porsche does not own either one, nor does VW own Porsche. They have had marketing alliances in the past, and have developed products together. But neither has ever owned the other.

The notion of Porsche buying out Fiat is laughable. Fiat is huge, and Porsche is tiny, relatively speaking. Fiat may be hard up for money, but they're not so hard up that the (relative) pittance that Porsche could scrape together would be able to buy controlling interest. Hell, GM just paid Fiat two billion dollars to get out of having to buy them!!!

PS--Hi, Brian! Didn't realize that was you!

[ficke]

The Cayenne is a "sports car" or we forgeting what the 'S' stands for in SUV

[callmethewander]

WOW! now i'm almost embarrassed to drive my 944, not because of the car, but after reading thru this post! geez, what a bunch of dicks i hope not not to be associated with! not all, of course just those that really size up another car enthusiast by the make , model and year they drive, wow. i acknowledge anyone, from early american muscle to a new hybrid, (excluding the cayenne, of course). if i see you looking at me or my car i'll wave, wave back or don't, you're just lettin me know if you're a regular guy (or girl) , or a dickhead. happy motoring

[callmethewander]

j/k about the cayenne, in case you didn't realize. although i loathe all suv's, at least it's not a hummer

[svonkampen]

CallMethWander.....

Screw those guys......

All Porsches are great...

BTW:

Wayne from Pelican AND Dave from famous TRE Motorsports swear by their 914s....

not all here are Aholes.

I only occasionally get the opportunity to see a Porsche on the road in my neck of the woods. But there are a couple around. Yesterday was a big day. I saw a 944 and a new Boxter within 5 minutes of each other.

I waved to both. 944 guy gave me a wave & smile. Boxter guy (with his trohpy wife) petended not to see me (I know he did).

My take...three nice cars, one @sshole owner.

[glenndeweirdt]

No doubt the Boxster guy was from Illinois! In Wisconsin, any female with her own teeth is considered a "trophy wife"
Sorry Dan, could not resist!

[darkbeer]

I even wave a Corvettes, A.M.C. Pacers & Gremlins, Yugos, any Studebaker, all aircooled VW's, De Loreans, Datsun 1600's & 2000's, all Woodies (any make), any& all cars built before 1940, I.H. Scouts, Unimogs & any Anfibicar (that car/boat combo thing).....

Oh...& 58 Impalas, especially convertables

I guess I had one coming from ya, Glenn, and I walked right into it.

I'm not so sure about the women from WI part, but I am sure you're right about the @sshole being from IL.
