You know your a Porsche owner when...
 
Have a field day with this one. Try and keep it at least 50 percent positive haha. *(you're)*

You know you're a Porsche owner when... $75 for a part that runs $10 or less on your other vehicles seems like a good deal; and so you buy 2 or 3 of them so you will have spares for when it breaks again.

When driving to the doctor for a sinus infection still makes you grin:D (Yes, that's what I did today. I almost didn't stop when I got to the Dr's office since I was feeling so much better just from driving:cheers:)

mountainman 03-21-2014 12:50 PM

when your largest expenditure for the month is as and tires

thstone 03-21-2014 01:09 PM

Every corner is an opportunity for a heel-and-toe downshift and a perfect apex.

kk2002s 03-21-2014 01:34 PM

The most fun, engaging, grin making car you own sits in the garage half the year

Spinnaker 03-21-2014 01:48 PM

Everyone wants to "Go for a ride" with you.

The French Dude 03-21-2014 03:55 PM

When you simply drive it

You know you're a 986 owner when
 
(I tweaked the title a bit for mine)

You wake in the morning and check new posts on 986forum.

You freak out about catastrophic engine failure posts.

You move the Porsche into a different spot in the garage and realize you better run it long enough to get up to temp.

You enjoy the drive so much you head out for a long drive.

You park it and realize its great fun and need to drive it more.

rocartfe2 03-21-2014 04:07 PM

When you spend 5 hours and several hundred dollars on Saturday fixing some problem. Then take it for a drive with the top down on Sunday because it's still your favorite car.

Parker986 03-21-2014 04:38 PM

People can't believe you park your BMW outside in the snow....little do they know I have a Boxster in the garage.

litespeedp 03-21-2014 05:12 PM

When you have parked, walking away,looking back to admire at and almost walked into something! (has happened more than once!) HA

Sportscarguy 03-21-2014 05:46 PM

When you spent $1k worth on cleaning and waxing supplies.

runjmc2 03-21-2014 07:59 PM

You embrace the CEL as a reading light....

appistappis 03-22-2014 11:00 PM

Don't inerpret that incorrectly, they're not smiling at you .......:p

jb92563 03-22-2014 11:35 PM

When first up at red light your not just driving, your racing.

for that matter, you dont take the Porsche for "a drive", you take it racing even when its your DD.:D

when going through the twisties, you check the mirror to see if the honda behind you made it as well;)

You turn down the music to enjoy the song your exhaust is playing.

always porsche 03-23-2014 12:41 AM

When you spend more time and money on it than you do on the daily driver that makes you your living. That's me, my p car is mint always and i don't begrudge a penny. Can't say the same for the daily drive.

TeamOxford 03-23-2014 03:30 AM

....when you get your insurance renewal.

recycledsixtie 03-23-2014 04:15 AM

When I am on minor roads especially the twisties I am looking ahead to make sure there are no parked cars that might be police cars with radar.

I totally respect the speed limits in the city but country roads I find tempting....:)

jsceash 03-23-2014 07:12 AM

You buy a 3rd set of tires and wheel for Track days

nobrakes 03-23-2014 10:52 AM

You say you have a Porsche' (Porscha) instead of A Porsch.........

newob 03-23-2014 11:37 AM

When people ask what kind of car you drive and they raise their eyebrows slightly at your response. Then they ask if they can drive it.

when driving on the interstate and someone tries to race you and you very easily outdistance them in a few microseconds

when you realize you are the only car in the parking lot with a parking ticket out of all the cars that don't have a permit.

when the best part of your day starts somewhere around 4000 rpm

Touch The Icon 03-23-2014 12:06 PM

When your friends ask you "hows the Porsche" before they ever ask about your families well being lol :cheers:

schnellman 03-23-2014 05:45 PM

You know you're a Porsche owner when..
 
... you know the longest route to run everyday errands.

when you have cold sweats every time your car is parked out in public but out of your sight

Taipanic 03-24-2014 12:25 PM

...when you buy two more because one just isn't enough...

TRPLBLK04 03-25-2014 10:41 AM

When....Your thinking of moving, and property search consist of being at least the normal operating temperature (distance) from your place of employment.

there is a girl that works for our German office, every time she visits the US she gets about 4 speeding tickets.

Porsche Chick 03-28-2014 10:53 AM

When your phone has 14 pix of your kids and almost as many pix of your car.

When your first thought upon hearing a good song is thinking "I wonder how this will sound in my car?"

Your assessment of the day's weather is "Top up day" or "Convertible weather!!"
