Last weekend I rode out to the Berkshires with a bunch of harleys(I'm on my harley too). Every group of bikers we passed waved. The further out from the city we got the more it made sense. We got waves from custom car guys too. Motor heads. I guess.

In my porsche I am more likely to get a wave from a Volkswagon Golf than a Porsche 911. I just find it odd.

One of my buddies got a flat in the middle of nowhere. (Actually, it's not so bad because farms always have lots of tools and always an air compressor.) While i was off knocking on doors, a biker group passing by stopped and offerred assistance. Would a passing porsche owner do likewise if I were broke-down in my boxster? I wonder....

wild1poet2, I would stop and help another Porsche owner.

And, us 987 guys (and gals) are equiped with a built-in air compressor! :) We don't have a spare, though. :eek:

I'm tired of waving... or flashing anymore. Never get a reply! But then I live in New Jersey. I wait for them to make the first move now, then wave or flash if there's time... :cool:

Here is LA its hard to get a wave back or any atention from other porsche owners specialy 911's ....Even in a porsche dealer when i go to check out some cars just for fun, they ask me if i own a porsche and then i tell then yes a 986 boxster and they give me this depressing "0..." gets me mad :matchup:

(I don't have a 986 [yet] but I'll chime in)

Whenever I see another Subaru, I usually stick my hand out the window and do (what my ex-girlfriend called) a lazy, left-handed Nazi salute. It was a wave for all intensive purposes. She's the devil, so, I'll let it go :lol:

People, usually in M3's, wave at my dad on occasion. He drives an M6.

A hoot
 
Waving, changing tail light lenses, chroming bits and taking off bumperettes.

This is satire, right?

They have to sell you on something. They're planting seeds of envy so you'll buy a 911 from them some day. :(

LOL.... clever.....

no satire would require too much thought.... this is more like "high fiving" or drinking beer out in the garage....

but I posted in the wrong sec
