"Old guys in new Porsches never wave."

Old guys in old Porsches usually flash the headlights. As stated above, that was
the time honored tradition of Porsche drivers for decades through the seventies.
Mostly, only older aircoolds flash back.

356 or a Spyder (I've seen a couple here in Socal), definitly wave.

Anything else... you wave first and I'll gladly wave back. Around here, most of the Boxters, Caymans, etc are leases.

Likely true. However, there are people out there driving REAL Porsches (356's) who will wave at those of us plastic types driving the plastic cars (996's). I was sitting at a red light in my red 996 a while back and was in the far right lane with my window down. Along my right side, in the bike lane/right turn lane, motors up a guy in a red 356 Speedster (I've seen his car before (and since) and love it). Anyway, the guy looks over at me with a big smile, waves and says to me "hey, I like your car. Nice color too!" I smiled and said "You too! I've seen yours around. Love that car!" He smiled and waved again, and as he left he said "Have a nice drive." I returned the comment and wave and then he was gone.
:D

All of us should be this nice to fellow Porsche drivers.

I usually throw the peace sign as i have received 2 tickets for the flash, but if you flash first i will prob. flash back ticket or no ticket

You got tickets for flashing your lights???? I was gonna say you must live in California, and then I see you and I are both New Yorkers. What's the charge they use to ticket you for flashing your headlights? Obstruction of justice on the assumption that you're warning of a speed trap? Amazing. Where in NY do you live?

boxster03 05-28-2009 04:31 PM

I do not think he is talking about his lights SmileWavy

In Illinois they ticket for flashing your head light to warn of speed traps. Not sure of the wording of the law but it boils down to only Emergency vehicle can have flashing lights.

So in Illinois if I turn my hazard flashers on because I'm driving fog, or maybe just dropped a halfshaft, I'm risking a ticket?

Which way to the Libertarian sign-up booth?

paulgtr 10-03-2009 12:22 PM

SmileWavy I always flash my lights to another aircooled 9. sometimes a newer 9 or boxster or cayman will pass before I recognise it as a porsche. there are so many look alike new cars out there.

rwest 10-03-2009 03:28 PM

I stopped doing the headlight flash years ago as it seemed like people didn't get it. So now I'll wave back to anyone, and will wave at any Porsche except the Cayenne! I refuse to accept that Porsche built a station wagon! AAGHHH!

I don't cross pathes too often with other Porsches in MN, and even on my summer road trip to CA I didn't see hardly any. I did get passed by a Boxter in the Tahoe National Forest, and exchanged waves with the passenger who looked like Matt Damon! might have been? I also got passed by a dude in a tricked out VW Rabbit, who gave me the "bull horns", I waved!

Life's too short, I'll wave or say "hi" to anyone, and haven't used the middle finger since high school(unless I know them!)

There's a hierarchy involved here. Salute type 911, 912, 914, 356's that are older than yours. Ignore the others.

Actually Porsche built a much sweeter station wagon than you can imagine. It isn't a Porsche, but an Audi. Google "RS2 avant".

When I drive my 911, I wave to the air cooled crew.SmileWavy

Tom '75 targa / '95 S6 avant w. too many RS2 mods to count.

Aircooled get a wave/knod/flash.
Watercooled gets one if they do it first.

matty74 10-04-2009 12:56 AM

aircooled only
