Default When does it wear off? Or does it?

That feeling when you first get the car......it’s indescribable, at least for people who aren’t good with words like myself.

Im a month in though and I still NEED to drive it every day, I’ll make up excuses to drive it.

Does it wear off? Or do you still crave driving yours even after years of ownership?

First Porsche was a 1967 912, current Porsche is a 2019 911 Carrera T....my 26th Porsche in 52 years. Does that answer the question? 😁🚗💕🏁

If it wears off then you have lost your soul.

On my third Porsche since 2001. 1989 928GT, one of 50 in the U.S., 2014 911 and a ‘19T. Still enjoy a beer or scotch in my garage while looking at the car and enjoying some youtube video of cars. Worked hard for it, enjoy it and proud I own one. Enjoy!

Only 4 months of ownership and I can not stop smiling every time I see her in the garage or turn the ignition on!

3.5 years and 31K miles later and I still love my car. I began my love affair in 1986 with my uncle's 82 911SC Targa. Boy did he get pissed when I closed the door by touching the door and not the handle . I will love them until the day I die.

I just saw an old friend yesterday that did not know I had my car. As we left the micro brew and he saw it, I thought he was going to rub himself all over it. We are all lucky to own such a beautiful, sexy, fast yet totally usable car.

I get bored with cars at about the two year mark...every single one, except my 991.2 GTS. I still love my GTS as much as the first day I picked her up over 2 years ago. Sadly, I'm letting mine go as I can only keep one toy in my garage at this time. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Does not wear off for me. It’s a very special car!
