Been there, done that
Now I mostly do it at the office. If I cant park where I can see it, it drives me crazy

No. I get my joy out of turning wrenches on it. I dont know what the heck Im going to do now that the SC is working properly. My neighbors probably think its a pile of crap because of how much Im under it or climbing on the trunk.

You are completely sane!

I have done it many times myself, especially when I come back at night I just get out when the engine is still running and the lights are on. What an incredible view!

A lot of people cannot believe or understand how can someone be attached to pretty much a "piece of metal". I believe it has more to it, it becomes part of your personality and besides the majority has to drive a car to work or to places, why cant this car be nice and enjoyable? Obviously, we are not in the "I need a car to go from Point A to Point B" mentality are we?

guilty!!!!

I do exactly the same, for the same reasons!

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted a Porsche. I have one, and cant believe it!
We've all heard.... " It's only a car", what a crock! It's an appreciation of fine engineering and craftsmanship, IMO anyway.

Keep the visits up, and the looney bin is reserved for others!

OK. I have met Nick, his Boxster and his wonderful fiance. He's a lucky guy! I think you should keep out of the garage and focus!!

Nick, I would say couple of times a night may be a tad on the obsessive side. I'm with bmuss on this one: focus. I only see my car on weekends so it always looks like it just came out of the wrapper after a week's pause. Anticipation and delayed gratification works for me, I guess.

It's a fact that I've been devoting big chunks of my free time (including this forum) to the new black beauty in my life so I'm starting to get slight vibes of jealousy about the Box from my fiance. It can turn into an intricate triangle if you're not careful.
