Talking I am truly embarrassed to ask but....

Guys - I am truly embarrassed to ask as i can only imagine the responses i am going to get but as a Porsche Newbie, i need to know.

Why does everyone keep referring to pumpkin's and what is it as i know it can't be an actual pumpkin that everyone is referring to!

Thanks.

PS - recently purchased a 2002 C4 Cab and needless to say, i'm in heaven. Had some fun with a vette this morning. Well at least i had fun, i don't think the vette in my rear view mirror did

It's the orange side marker lights on the front bumper of your car.

Some people like them, most hate them so they replace them with clear side marker lights instead.

Don't worry it's a Rennlist term that I've never heard used elsewhere.

I think the clears look much better than the pumpkins on darker colored cars.

I've heard of a optic-rectomy. That is when the docs go in and severs the nerve that connects your A$$hole to your eyes....supposed to give you a better outlook on life..
