What? Nobody waves anymore?
Comming home from work today I saw 3 P-cars with in a couple miles and not a single one of them returned the wave
First up was a burgundy 951 on route 24 east, second was a blue 996 on the ramp in Summit (OK, he was going the other way and might have missed it), and 3rd was a silver Boxster S on Morris Ave.
Maybe if I'd been driving the 944?
If some nut in a gold (almost Kalahari Beige) pickup waved at you , It was me. I couldn't resist, after I saw the 951 in the distance I had to catch up just to wave, even driving the Ranger (do you have any idea what it takes to catch a 951 in a Ford Ranger? ).

It's funny that you bring this up, Dave. In the 9 months that I've had my car, I haven't gotten a single wave or flash. It kind of bums me out. I just waved at a fellow in a 944 in the Morristown square the other day and he looked at me like I was a nutter. I'd understand if he was in a Boxster sipping a latte, but jeez...

I managed 3 in a half hour a couple months ago, not a single one since but I haven't driven the p-car much since then. Funny thing is, I keep waving, even when I'm in the truck. Last week I waved to a guy in a 944 with a modified rear quarter, ironically I'd seen him a few months ago (March?), on the same streach of 287, only the first time I was in the 944 and ran with him for a while.
I got a wave from an Audi a few months back, turns out it was our autox chairman.

Funnything, This summer i have not seen one other 944 series cars. I used to ave. 2 a week last couple of years. None this year. Where have they all gone? parted out? Hope not.. by the way none of them ever really looked let alone wave back.. I have not seen any in any parking lots this year either.. Used to get that at least once a month... Michigan rust?

Dave and KLR, I'll keep an eye out for you guys. I'm in the Morristown area but my family's down in your area Dave. I have a white 951. I also know someone who drives a white 944 from Union up to my town every day.
I pass a red 944 going the other way almost every day on my drive to Princeton. He never waves back, though.

Iwave whenever i can catch one. I remember once a guy in a later 80's 951 and he would notlook at me. HE knew i was there too which bothered me. Where is the comradery?

I saw a damn Ferrari today. It was awesome as hell. I think it was an F50. He rolled down his window and was like "I like that car what is that? A 928?" i said "Nope, its a 944." and he goes "Ohhh yeah i remeber those! Take care"

Ron, I agree.
Rock, hell yeah bro
"(do you have any idea what it takes to catch a 951 in a Ford Ranger? )."
Why, I imagine it's about the same as trying to catch one in an S10? "I feel your pain"
