Well, I was in my p1g this past weekend in southern Oregon ready to pull out on the road and a group of 914,s, and a slant nose turbo went by me. I was waving but the only one to wave was the slant nose.

Yes, although to earn double points a Lexus owner has to wave at you.
And if they are driving a Hybrid Lexus ... Quadruple points.

No. The Cayenne is not eligible for the Exclusive Programme.

However, you can order the two-tone matching bag from your VW dealer parts department ...

i give them a look, 'yeah take a good look at it, since you can' t afford one.'

Seems to me, the older the car, the more likely the wave or headlight flash. In my 04 GT3, nothing. More in my 87 911 coupe. The real hoot is my 73 Alfa GTV....all sorts of people wave and nod, regardless of what they're driving....but other Alfa drivers hardly ever do because, well, they're most likely in shock at seeing another GTV on the road....lol...

I'd give a thumbs up to an Alfa GTV driver. I always loved the look of those cars.

I agree that the Cayenne Companion effect is very different than the other models. For one, way too many non-Porsche afficionados driving Cayennes (Rennlisters notwithstanding). In the last two weeks, I've seen maybe 10 P!gs around here, most within a few miles of our semi-affluent neighborhood. Probably 8 of the 10 driven by women, and the women freeway drivers were full-on Prius-ing in the far right lane (clearly not Pops/EW). One guy was at the pump, pimped out and not the least bit concerned at the $100 tab. Maybe one traditional driver around and about. Seems many of my Cayenne siblings in this area just wanted the next trendy Escalade.

On the other hand, the Boxster always got a nod or gesture from other Boxsters. And even other "real" P-cars. The Cayennes around seem to be driven by the stuffy, pretentious Mercedes-Benz crowd trying to stand out a little more in their lone snobbishness.

Which is why I don't wash mine...

Well this is a tricky one..

You know that the only real reason that other drivers try to wave and nod may be, that the Alfa is throwing oil /smoke/ flames/pieces from the back..
Sort of a warning for the mayhem you are leaving behind.. : )

So much negativity. Did we forget to take our pleasant pills?

SRL

You know, I wouldn't know....I usually lose them in a cloud of rust.

911SLOW

Mike there is a shortage of mod pills.
Last time I checked Lewis had taken the allowed RL prescriptions for the years 2006-2011. : )




I know exactly what you mean.. was an Alfista..

Tutti per uno ed uno per tutti!

Actually she's not too bad...this is from last Sunday...

Marc Gelefsky

That is when they take their pleasant pills!

You should see what gets posted when they are off the meds..

I own a 2006 Boxster S and a 1997 993 Turbo.

When I dirive the Boxster, and wave to other Boxster owners, I almost always get a nice friendly wave back. About the only times I don't is because they probably did not see me.

If I'm in the Boxster, and wave to a 911 owner, they almost always ingore me.

Now, if I'm in the 911 and wave to a Boxster, I get the wave back, but they always seem a little surprised. When I wave to another 911 owner, I get a wave back a little more than 75% of the time.

Sorry, I don't wave to you Cayenne owners, becuase you are so high up off the ground, I don't think you'd see me.
