It all kinda makes sense if you think about it. You're not really waving at the car, but at the person in the car, and the car they drive is an excellent indication of their feelings about Porsches in general.

Anyone driving anything old and well cared for gets a big wave, be it a 914, a 924, or a 550 Spyder. Obviously they care. The older and better cared for, the bigger the wave.

Anybody driving anything water-cooled past 98 doesn't get a wave. They might deserve one if they have an oldie at home in the garage, but if so, why aren't they driving it?

Living in Marin, I gave up waving at Boxsters and 996's long ago. I have better things to do than wear out my elbow for blank stares in return.

As for Cayenne owners, I reserve the bulk of my vitriol for them. They are cars for people with more money than sense. Whenever I see one on the road, I feel a deep sense of embarrassment that cheapens my car and the Porsche experience in general. Middle fingers away.

Funny thread.

P.S. Whoever blasted 914's has obviously never had A) the opportunity to drive one, or B) a clue.

914's kick serious ass.
