Default Silly question. Porsche attire?

I said to my girlfriend a while ago, after looking at a small shop in the mall that had ferrari merchandise and such, "you know I wouldn't mind having a porsche hat. Not somthing that stands out or anything, but just somthing plain that says Porsche or somthing cool like that". Well, you know what? A few weeks later she got me a porsche hat, black with white trim on the bill, that says Porsche in white letters. Also, she got me a shirt, with the porsche crest in one corner.
Now, I just want all of your opinions, because I'm just silly like this I guess. Who owns a porsche shirt and hat, and wear them while driving?
Is that a weird question to ask, well, if it is, sorry to waste your time.

I used to have a Porsche baseball cap.. But I managed to get some battery fluid on it and it was ruined.

I'll buy myself a new one soon though.

Btw, you better not let any other Rennlisters know the name of that girlfriend of ours..

I have a Porsche cap, I've had it a few years and it's starting to look a little "tired." It's great for use between autox runs to hide the "helmet hair!"

I have one of the "Hockenheim Pullovers" that you see advertised. Honestly, I feel kinda geeky wearing it about; only because I've caught a few sideways glances from people appearing to wonder why I need to advertise P-car ownership. Moreover, I feel even geekier wearing it while driving, as I don't want to be too "matchy-watchy", as my wife says...

Porsche cap.
Understated colors,
Tan, blue logo...

Bought it for myself after doing clutch and torque tube change. Figured it was deserved.

I have a couple Porsche t-shirts, given to me by my husband. Nice gifts, but I feel a little weird wearing them. I don't want to seem pretentious.

I used to have a hat, but lost it long before I got my car. Take that back, I probably still have it, just can't find it in my stuff.....too much stuff

Right now I have a dark blue t-shirt with Porsche across the front
And
A black t-shirt that says, "Got Boost? It does an engine good" I like to wear that one....gets a lot of fun comments

I'd consider some things from Porsche....but sheesh, I thought women's clothes were expensive. You'd better hope the stuff from Porsche is weaved with gold or something. Then again, maybe I'm cheap! lol

Woooohooo!!!!! 944 Posts!!!!! To celebrate....my 944!!!!



Note the broken Honduh in the background. It was starting to get riced out and then it happened....served him right. He and his brother busted a rear window to my old RX-7 and pretty well got away with it and I had to clean up the mess.

The only Porsche clothing I own is the polo shirts we received at last year's Hershey get together-our names and an embroidered silhouette of our model with the 968 celebration information-it's neat having a speed yellow cab on the shirt.
