Default on a much lighter note than typical: GT3 related superstitions

My confession as someone who is not at all superstitious by nature. Being very low down on the Porsche purchasing totem pole I developed a funny behavior while waiting to see if I would get a build slot. A normal gym routine involved an hour or so on an elliptical or similar machine, stopping at 1000 indicated calories, before lifting a bit. I found myself intentionally stopping at 911calories. Did this for months and kind of still do. I also look around a bit if I ever glance at the clock and it's 9:11 am or pm, as if expecting something auspicious to happen!

Does anyone else have a confession?

Right now apparently isn't the time for non-life-threatening medical care, but you should probably consider a visit once things calm down. Lol.

I'm an ER doc in Seattle. So that's probably why I'm posting mindless stuff.

I have a GT3 Touring in Carmine red. It's about the only thing keeping me sane. My goofy superstition story would have been even more pathetic had I not gotten a build slot!
