or you tell the passenger to sit tight and walk around the car to open the door for them to prolong the life of the plastic handle.

You don't notice your CR-V leaking and burning oil after an oil change as the dealer did not put the filler cap back on because the smell seems comforting somehow.

You know when your a 964 owner when

1) you justify to yourself that £200+ spent on Zymol cleaning products is really an investment.
2) getting your AC re-gassed becomes an annual event and you become mates with the bloke that does it.
3) you drive hundreds of miles to meet up with other 964 owners just bore each other senseless - you also need to know other 964 owners in at least 4 other continents.
4) you remove the wife from your car insurance without telling her .
5) you spend huge amounts on money on things that are not broken or that will add a couple of BHP.
6) you create your own slush fund for "the re-build" and other stuff - again without the wifes knowledge.
7) your 4 year old son tell his friend his daddy has a 911 "Porscha" and you get that warm glow of unconditional love.
8) you start using the tacho more than the speedo
9) you red lining it 4th - but only once the temp is at normal, but without fear that something will fall off.
10) you turn the radio off as it iinterferes with the noise of the engine - and think about removing it in order to save weight.


Finally - although your's is a fantastic car and you love it to bits your really want a 933GT2 or a RS

Oh, I should also add, you must also spend at least 2 hours a day on Rennlist

When you reluctantly go to the shopping mall and your GF asks if a tram will pick us up out there.

When you rush back to the car and surreptitiously try to check it's all OK, dings wise, without the wife noticing...

You know you're a 911 owner when:

You close the front trunk by letting it down slowly to the bottom, then pushing on the middle of the lid (or on each side) to get it to click shut (versus a "normal" car where you just pull/push the lid down in one motion)

When you turn to look at it everytime you walk away from it after parking it. My wife pointed this out to me one day.
