Had the addiction since 1971 and still going strong, so must not be unhealthy... disease been in the family since my uncle got a '69 912 at the factory...
It is hereditary though, as my dad also had 2 Porsches, and both my sons have them as well, so be forewarned!!

My resent Ex-wife said I was a Porsche Snob! She's now out of the picture and I getting another Porsche in Feb. That will make 3 in the garage. I guess the only reason I have a Toyota Tacoma is that Porsche does not make trucks,,,,, yet.

unlike most of you, I am a new and younger addict, working up from a 968 to a 981, may be a newer Carerra 4s cabriolet in the near future. Never feel the same about any other Audis Ssss or beamers Msss series. The force is strong with this one!

I own 4 and the only regret I have is for the ones I've sold. I'm hoping for a big midlife crisis that involves buying more P cars. 😄😄

Default There's never too many Porsche

I admit I'm addicted! I have four 911s and a Cayenne Diesel. I know the diesel is polluting our world and I know Rennlisters will chime in on this one but it drives wonderfully, like all Porsche. In addition, I've ordered a Boxster Spyder scheduled for February production. My only problem is finding storage for all these cars but it hasn't stopped me yet!

Mrs Rat ndulges my two. Any more and I think there would be questions. I had her seat in the 911 stuffed with memory foam to match mine yesterday though, so at least she is comfortable...

Currently just have the GT4, but have had two at various times. Also have BMWs, and a Shelby. The problem is that after experimenting with others, I always seem to come back to Porsche. Getting tougher though..... cost on 911s is skyrocketing, can't get GT3 or turbo with a true manual, and 718s with 4bangers. Choices are narrowing.

Back in the early '70s the 914 was my dream car! Being a young kid, I was never going to afford one.

2005 it was down to the Boxter or the Z4 and the body on the Boxter just had no character IMO, so it's been a Z4 for the past 12 years. The 718 will be my first (and probably my last) Porsche.

^^^Know that many of us are very worried about your "work" load and genuinely concerned about the burden you are under. This trying time will pass and brighter skies will shine. Remember that a man is judged by how he responds to adversity. You will get through this difficult period with the help of God, family and friends. We are all pulling for you. Hang in there and keep your chin up.
