Default unrelated things that make you think of your 951...

There's a place that I drive to from time to time which usually has me stop at a traffic intersection, right by a company office bearing a particular logo which they probably paid some graphic design consultant millions of dollars to come up with...

It's officially supposed to represent an "M" and an "L", but whenver I stop at that intersectoin and see the logo, all I can picture is 3/4 of a 951's inlet manifold:



Anyone else have similar stories of an affliction where completely unrelated things remind them of their Porsche?

Breaking up with my girl friend. THAT makes me think, quite fondly, of my car! The woman was a PITA! Now I can work on it in peace...and even drive it to stuff that I want to do...instead of her stupid ****.

For some reason I find myself looking at the clock when it's 9:51. On good days it'll happen twice.

Too much belief on the tabloids leads to that.

A particular doctor at the VA reminds me. He sticks his arm up my **** far enough i can tell the time on his watch. And its digital. Anyway, when I pull one part off the 951 and discover some "while you're in there" stuff, then check prices, it feels very similar!

I always seem to look at the clock at either 9:44 or 9:51, but that also happens at 9:11 as well and that I don't like.

haha I think that should be porsche law from now on..... anytime you notice 951 on the odometer you must perform a mandatory boost pull!

i could see it now. "...i'm sorry officer, but the odometer read 951..."
