had to take a drive
 

the weather finally got nice enough for long enough that i had to get away from my desk and drop the top. went for a drive around town and got a chance to test out the GoPro i got a few weeks ago. nothing too exciting but i did see another boxster. later i went for a few more drives and came across another boxster, a cayenne and a 914. the guy in the 914 was the only one to wave back...

(i think the "rattling" is the camera in the housing. need to find a way to stop that!)

Thanks for this video, I enjoyed watching it, as it bought back a lot of memories when I was in my college days. (I attended Johns Hopkins).

There was a section towards the west of Baltimore that had roads just like the ones you were driving. There was this one section during the spring/summer where the road felt like a nature made tunnel because it was completely covered by the shades of trees. Then after breaking away from the shades was a just massive flat lands of green grass. I remember distinctly a small barn with horses to my left amidst the endless view of green and a man-made lake. Unforgettable. I was in a z4 those days, but was all the same. These cars really need the right environment.

Fast track, 6 years later, where I'm in the city all the time, where lowering the top would result in audible cusses or suffocation from pollution.

Wave
 

I try waving to other porsche owners
Not a Large wave ...more like a quick movement of 4 fingers
off of the steering wheel....not huge but noticeable
kinda of a salute
I have yet to have one wave back...

Having been riding in the motorcycle scene for over 20 years
we always wave/hand signal back
I'd say 80% return the jesture

Maybe its not part of the "Porsche code"
I'll still keep doing it....maybe it'll catch on...

enjoy the spring...keep the top down as much as you can
