MY top ten reasons to own a Porsche 911
10. Kids are the perfect size for the small back seats
9. That dink dink dink of the engine cooling after a hard run
8. The smell of an air cooled engine. Oil, aluminum
7. The sound of the fan - the world's fastest hair dryer
6. Clunk as you close the door
5. The look out the windshield.
4. Washing a turbo bodied car - pretty close to sex.
3. That wiggle - as you approach the limit and put you foot in the gas in the middle of a corner.
2. Brakes - like the hand of god reaches down and says "Whoa!"
1. Remembering years ago - when seeing the IROC series on TV - thinking how cool would that be to drive one of those on the track. The answer is pretty darn cool.

10. Like driving a go-kart, only much, much better
9. When you pass a kid in a rice burner and they look at your car and they suddenly realize their big muffler, over-gauged A-pillar, and ridiculously low suspension look a "little" silly compared to a real piece of engineering artwork
8. When those 14 quarts of oil get nice and warm and you nail the throttle to redline for the first time of your drive
7. The sound, the sound, the sound
6. Knowing you could buy two 911s for the price of a tricked out Escalade...your cars will still look and perform well another decade down the road but the Escalade will be trashed or scrapped
5. The fabulous folding rear seats that will carry as much luggage as you need to go anywhere for a long time...or serve as a nice shelf for your pet on a long drive
4. Ordering parts for your car is like Christmas anytime of the year
3. The look on people's faces when you open a whole case of oil and try to convince them that your little car really does use that much for an oil change
2. The perfectly layed out gauges
1. The cameraderie of a great group of auto enthusiasts from wildly diverse backgrounds

10 Trying to do a donut and understeering straight forward.
9. Hiding the rip in the seat
8. Driving 300km to a work meeting windows open, 95 degrees outside sweating like a pig and not once wishing for AC
7. Locking the front brakes in the rain
6. Fitting 2 coolers 3 large soft travel bags a stroller and a blow up pool in a car lighter than a new Mini.
5. Parking next to a new Boxter at the Porsche dealer and thinking "man that Boxter's a pretty big car!"
4. Head jammed up against the roofliner
3. Replacing the steering wheel and putting in a spacer in order to get my legs straight enough that I can shift into first gear.
2. Trying to find a good local set of Fuchs
1. No electronic nannys between me and the road.
