When it takes you a couple hours to get your supplies together such as oil, DME relay, fan belts ,etc. and tools for a 2 hour trip across the state when you would think nothing about jumping in the old beater and doing the same trip with no preperation.

When you are surprised to hear that the rear tires on other types of cars last longer than 1 year. Who would believe it?

this is one that applies to my father,

when your neighbors no longer find it odd that the car is in the air and the motor is on the floor.
(2 motor rebuilds and its easier to change the plugs that way)

your gf and sister call you to tell you about a porsche that they just saw.

You love to hear the "ping" of the cooling fins in the garage after an afternoon of "spirited driving"

oh and another

you know your a 911 driver when you hold the fuel lid when you pull the release lever, to access the fuel cap. then repeat to close the lid, just to prolong the life of the catch on your fuel filler.

...you time it so you can hit the highway on and off ramps, your going so fast your red & white blood cells seperating, your head is pressed against the window, and your wondering if your too old for this kinda **** ...and anybody else who wouldnt do, is a *****...or maybe thats just me?

or on a really sick note, you almost wait for something to break so you can get to second base with the car...

....when you check the floor under the engine everytime you drive the car, to make sure there is no oil leak....
....when you read "Excellence" and "911 & Porsche World" everynight to your 8-month old daughter...

These are soooo true!!! Guilty of most.
......when you catch yourself raising up from your seat to make sure you can see the top lip of your wing come up.
......when you go to www.PORSCHE.com and get all teary-eyed at the promo vids.
......when you stop at mini-mart and tell your friend to lock the doors to keep people from walking up on them, and when you return they are still searching for the lock on the door...LMAO!!!

you know your a 911 guy when you can tell the sound of the engine note a 1/2 mike away.
when your kids 11 and 13 know all the different 911 variants.
favorite 911 prank..., when getting gas ask the attendant to check the antifreeze..
