Funny you should mention this....
There's a fellow pelicanite (David McLaughlin) who happens to work near me, and we have spotted each other's car on occasion but never actually met. This AM, I was in line heading into my parking lot and a car sitting across the road beeped its horn. I looked up, and there was this guy in a blue VW (I think) who smiled and waved. I figured he wanted to cut in front of me in line, so I was ready to ignore him when he beeped again and pointed to a PCA sticker in his window. Suddenly the light bulb appeared over my head, and he ended up walking over while I was getting out of my car and we chatted for a few minutes, it was really cool.
One of the things I mentioned to him while we were talking is that I did something similar to what adamred is talking about with a 968 that would occasionally park in my lot, and ended up meeting the owner and chatting with her. I think it's a lot less wierd for one of us with a somewhat old or obscure P-car to approach another in the same boat. I mean, if you're gonna drive an SC I assume you know something about it, whereas I don't make the same assumption about someone driving a brand new P-car. So for me, I have no problem chatting with David McLaughlin since he has a 914/6, or with this random parking lot woman since she has a 968, the most obscure of the 944 lineage cars.
