Default I saw the Sign


"I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
Life is demanding without understanding
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign"





so, I searched and didn't see a thread like this and thought I'd start one.

*Please post your pics of funny, interesting, notable, Porsche-related signs*

I've driven by this sign a few times and took the time to snap a pic yesterday.
This is at one of those coin-op, do it yourself car wash things in Mtn View, Ca...

Yeah, those guys are animals.

We had a little indy shop in Madison Wi and used the Porsche font in our yellow pages ad and they sniffed us out.

A movable sign of sorts, I suppose ... she's not a very good speller, though!

^^^That'll buff out ....

Also, the picture in my 'signature' is a shot I took with my cel phone in 2009 of a billboard showing a picture of Ferry Porsche standing next to one of his 356's heralding the upcoming celebration of the 100th year since his birth (1909). I was standing on the train station platform waiting for the Ubahn back to Stuttgart when I noticed that he was 'peering' through the aluminum clad architecture of the new museum buildings 'legs' .....

Marathon gas stations (at least here anyway) have a 911 displayed on the display screen on each pump.

It's on the Kangaroo station pump displays here in Middle TN. Someone took a photo of it awhile back.

Good job, Mark....I've been planning on starting this thread for years! Now I need to get organized and photograph my favourite Porsche related road signs.
