In the country always. In the city I like to have both hands on the wheel in case Alon is out driving around.

Hahahahahha too funny.

I always get a wave when driving by p-car owners. Not only from p-cars either. I have had women do full twisties while I am driving by or behind. Crazy attention.

Part of being a Porsche enthusiast is waving at or flashing your lights at every Porsche you see!!!

Yes. It's an unwritten rule.
I usually flash or wave. I mostly get a response from the older makes while the newer car drivers and Cayennes don't.

Jaak,

I like the outfit....... did you trade it for the old avatar...heheheheheh.


My wife has been driving the car for a couple of days now. She pulls up to a set of lights. About 5 or 6 guys come out of the Jiffy Lube. She see's them watching but does not want to turn her head. She revs up the engine a little and lets it go. Well as she passes them...she glances out of the corner of her eye and they are all freaking out at her thinking this is great, Smiling and yelling. We just put a full exhaust on the car and WOW its crazy loud....race car loud. Who knew...she loves it.

She came home that night late from work and tells me the story and says to me.... now I understand why you like to go for a joy ride all the time. I just about fell on the floor.

Jeff ... played paintball a year ago for the first time in over 5 years with co-workers. Pissed them off as I was hard to hit and kept getting them. I am holding my PMI3 serial # 65 that I got long time ago ... still works well!

dont you mean you need 2 hands on the wheel when Alon is around because his head is in your lap?

I wave to anyone I see. Kids seem to love my car as well, young kids even Ive gotten waves, thumbsup, shouts from kids and adults alike.

I try to respond with a rev, wave, or downshift and gun it

I usually wave but many of the newer cars dont't respond. They probably think that I am driving a Fiat or something.

I find this very hard to swallow.....but i get snubbed by most Porsche Drivers/owners. However i always wave some wave back .most don't
Oh well I bought the car to drive, not to be admired by other p-car owners
