Larry,
You are SOOOOO right! Those things are used as grocery/baby haulers by suburbanites who want more staus than the big wheeled Escalades can offer. Get out of their way when your in the school pick up line!

Ok, so I shouldn't wave at Pepper-wagon folks because they use their Porsche to haul kids to school and get groceries.
I suppose that makes sense. They are using a race-inspired car to do mundane things.
Wait a second, Porsches are meant to be driven on the racetrack...
So, from now on, I should only wave at Porsches that I know are being driven the way Dr. Porsche expected them to be driven -- IE: RACED on a track. So I guess unless the car is on a trailer on the way to the track, or I'm driving by them on the track, I have no business waving at them. (Side note: when I do get a point-by at DE's, I do a quick 'wave of thanks' as I'm passing the car - be it a 911/914/944/Cayenne...etc.)
Besides, you never know when that grocery-getter soccer mom will turn into a Porsche junkie -- all it takes is one lap around a track or autox...
And while we're talking of the Pepper-wagon, the latest 'step child' Porsche, I have seen this car at both DE's and autocrosses. Even went for a couple of rides in them. They perform remarkable, despite their size and weight. It is as if they defy the laws of physics. There is definately a good doze of Porsche DNA in those cars...
Just throwin' some oil on the fire...
