It's more than a little ironic that so many of you air-cooled guys complain that owners of water cooled cars don't acknowledge you when, in fact, so many of you say you won't acknowledge
them.
I will look at every Porsche I see. I can't help it. Air cooled and water cooled get my attention, and if the people driving them look back, they get a nice smile and from me at the very least - a silent "hey, I like your car". Personally, I don't get offended if the other guy doesn't look back at my car. So what? Do I deserve some sort of "respect" because I am a fellow Porsche driver. And ToddM, tell me your comment was made tongue-in-cheek. How's a wave any less valid than a flash?
I own air and water cooled cars and will drive them both on the same day - as I did today. I track them both and have more fun than should be allowed in both. I have met many, many owners of water cooled Porsches who know all about the history of the cars but have either moved on or simply would rather own the newer car. More power to them. Here are mine (and I'll wave to you from either car)
