Not surprising, since the part of the male brain which is stimulated looking at sexy women is the very same one that gets busy looking when looking at hot cars. Weird but true.

I remember seeing a 944 Turbo in the movie "Who's That Girl," a 1987 movie with Madonna in it. I've never actually seen the movie, but I was flipping through the channels several years ago, and caught a couple minutes of it on USA Network. I remember thinking, "Hey, there's a 944 Turbo! Sweet!"

Adding to what BoostGuy951 said, as hes running through the airport they say something over the PA like "Will the owner of the red Porsche nine-forty four please..." . I got mildly excited at that part .

As far as 911s go, John Travolta's character drives one in "A Civil Action," released in 1998. Also, Tom Cruise drives a nice 996 Cab in "MI: 2," released in 2000.

Thanks for those links, Will!

Wachuko, 928 in the book? That's an interesting tidbit.
