re:Porsche Guys?

[Marc Gelefsky <Marc911@PorscheNet.com>]

I have to jump in here and agree that most Porsche owners are true
enthusiasts, especially the ones that drive the older cars.
How many WMB owners wave or flash their headlamps at each other?
Another nice thing is how people react to Porsches, seems like the WMB
drivers just want to "race" and show what their car can (or cannot) do.
If an Audi driver acknowledges a Porsche it's usually a in a much nicer
way like a nod or wave.
I know the WMB faithfull may flame me for this so I will admit there are
ALWAYS exceptions.
