I haven't helped anyone jump start their car or anything. Hubby has tried explaining it, but I still don't know how to do it, so he got me one of those cigarette lighter things.

I'm figuring just being a girl is enough to bend the stereotype of a the typical male Porsche owner. I go to Porsche club meetings and the other ladies are still freaked out by this. Still. The men are over it already, but the women still look at me funny.

You get a pass. A guy in a Porsche is not seen or judged like a girl driving the same car. We are judged by D-bag level and what we could afford and you are judged by hair color and length and ring or no ring.

Don't forget to add body fat %, age, shoe selection, outfit, makeup, etc.

Men are lucky, all they need is a fat wallet and all is forgiven. With a Porsche you're halfway there.

You forgot one typical judging factor.....

I have heard allegations that a Porsche is supposed to make up for other male issues as well....it's just not true. A car won't help those poor guys......

Now I see that most deal with that problem by buying a large truck, driving a "hair stylist, girly" roadster is something only those confident in their masculinity can own.

Exactly. The "making up for a lack of certain things" stereotype only applies to 911 owners anyway.......:troll:

if that guy is shopping for a gold-digger.

In a radio interview I heard Jerry O'Conell describe a certain film executive as "an 11". The interviewer said "an 11?" to which he replied "Yeah... you know what that is? It's a 10 with a job".

Satellite radio interview. Sept. 30, 2013. Howard Stern was the interviewer. Nobody gives the man credit. Having said that, if the girl in question was really into JD as Jerry guesses, yah gotta subtract some digits. I mean have you seen or heard JD?
