By definition, Porschephile means you're obsessed with the company, and not ONLY one car that it makes. IMO there are many out there that are only huge 911 fans, huge 928 fans, huge 914 fans.....and the list goes on. Personally I think someone can't truly call themselves a Porschephile or Porsche enthusiast without truly having an appreciation for the entire company. That doesn't mean you have to like everything they build. There are some Porsches I might like a little less than others, though I "love" them all as I feel they are all very special in their own ways. Don't confuse a true enthusiast with a single model enthusiast.

Excellent call... I'm slightly prejudiced against 911's though... My dad's isn't the most comfortable or easy car to drive... but it's still great... and the sound of the flat six... OMG...

Porsche is a philosophy. Being a state-of-mind thing, owning one is not required, but it does help. And of course, the more the merrier!

I would really like to try my hand at an air-cooled rear engine car next. I would like a late-80's 911 or something like that. Even an early 911 if it were mostly sorted......
