I flashed my lights at an SC on Sat and not knowing if he saw them, I waited to catch his attention and waved. We were at an intersection. He looked at me like I was nuts. A little later, I waved at 2 guys in a Boxster that were in the lane next to me. No response. Then I waved at a girl in a Boxster, she wouldn't look over. All this while I was in my Boxster. I'm thru with waving. Some old traditions just don't work anymore.

I always wave from my Boxster . . . particularly for 914s. Waved at a 14 here in Seattle (plt 914-6) and didn't get squat.
I'm gonna give up! Tumalo 00 AS/MB/MB Boxster |

Milt, I'd expect as much from a person with so many midengineautopersonalities..
You are trapped, your pulse rises, no matter which car you are in.. do you cringe... and look away in disgust? Or, do you act like you are picking a $50.00 steak from between your teeth, and just didn't notice? You are also a terrible influence! God told me he was going to destroy most the world... but if I could find one friendly Boxster owner *that didn't own a 914* he'd spare all of the NOS injection parts for those who were left.. There was tumalo.. <------ Could that avatar lie? Serious. M

Oh, and I forgot. On same Sat, a 914 pulled up right behind me at an intersection. I had the top down and I looked in the mirror and stuck my hand (not my finger) in the air but not a backwards girl's wave. Nothing. No, I'm done. I'm just gonna pick a $50 dollar steak out of my teeth. That'll be a good trick since I haven't eaten meat for 18 years. |

I routinely wave at everything Porsche ever made. Hell, if I drove past a field being tilled up by a Porsche Diesel tractor, I'd wave.
Case in point: tonight coming home from the airport, I exchanged waves and smiles with a gorgeous black 930 Cab's owner. I do it. And I try not to get too flummoxed when the gesture isn't returned. ![]() -Paul |

I own a Boxster and have owned a couple 914's. I've tried the wave and to be honest I'm close to done with it myself. I'm not sure what the deal is but I had more response from 914 owners when out in the 914. I guess it's that whole tribe thing when it comes to 914 owners. Seeing another 914 I knew what they were going through to keep it on the road.

It would be fun if maybe we all started ramming other Porsches.
I wonder how long that would take to catch on? =) Miles (away from other porsches! that's for sure)

For the two years I have owned my Porsche I have only gotton a handful of waves but in my new Mini just yesterday I got 5 waves and three of them were people in Honda's. I guess the waving and flashing moved over to the Englist cars now. P.S. keep the flash alive.
