..... if you think every 911 driver has a superiority complex
..... if you refer to crushing your front bumper shocks as a "mod"
..... if every fluid resevoir on your car has a leak

if you're driving across the country, and a 944 owner you've never met invites you to stay a night on their couch on your journey... and you think, "Hey, they own a 944, they MUST be alright..."

.............. you hit a steel pole at 60mph in the drivers door and calmly climb out the window unscathed. Ask me how I know! 
............ people like the look of your 'RX7'.

Oh I've waited all day to post on this one fellow owners and 'listers...
When you spend 2+ years tinkering, fixing, upgrading, cleaning, powder coating, and put less than 500 miles on the car... when your neighbor of 9 years sees you driving down the road in it he stops you and says wow, it runs? ROFL... it's always run man... it just doesn't go anywhere!

What about cleaning the brake dust off your wheels after every drive? (yea, that's me again)

..when you enjoy the car so much.. you buy another one... then, ANOTHER ONE.. and before you know it, your front yard looks like a 1986 Porsche dealer (about the same amount of customers roaming the lot too)

...when you have to negotiate with the wife to buy a house in a commercial zone and spend $100k worth of remodeling as a pacifying cost just so you can have a big backyard to park all the 944s

you find random amusement when something in the car starts working again
whenever a girl you know gets in your car, she says something along the lines of "is this the one that was on fire?"
when you drive someone else's car and they tell you that you don't need to slam the stick shift to get the car into gear..
when you get to work you circle the parking lot several times before parking
while you're on the freeway rice rockets constantly pace you in the next lane over then gun their engines and speed off because staring at your car makes them feel unsure of themselves
you see someone else in a 944 and you feel like you know them
your windows fog up constantly and theres nothing in the world you can do about it
everybody you know knows you have a porsche
your friends hear your fans running after your car has been parked for awhile and quickly alert you that you left the car on
you install a stereo which seems pointless because somewhere between the sound of the air rushing through the windows and the constant rumble of your engine you barely hear it anyway
whenever someone has a car problem, the come to you to have it fixed
every time you go down a windy road in something other than your car, you miss it terribly
your friends stay in shape by holding on to whatever they can grab on to while you drive down your favorite twisty\
whenever you're at a social function people usually ask you two things:
"how are you doing?" and
"hows the car?"

You don't have to find the next car to work on; they find you, through friends, family, coworkers telling you about the car they saw sitting by the side of the road...
