Whenever they try to run you out of town, get out in front and make it look like a parade.

This guy's card needs revocation too.

May you get runover by a 991 driven by a woman.

Fact of the matter is most women just don't pull in that kind of money.

I see quite a few women driving 991 and other 911s.
My gut feel is the title may not be in their name and they may not be on the boards, but the are DRIVING them.

I'm always a little disappointed when I see a sophisticated, attractive older gal driving a 911 and ask hers if it's her and almost always she tells me it's her husbands car.
In the last month I asked two driving 991's, one an "S" and another non "S" cab and they both said they were their husbands cars. One 997 and she says it was hers. Who knows.

Bottom line a woman who will spend this amount of money on such an impractical car has got to have a little gas or petrol as Suzy says in their veins. I'm gonna guess Suzy and Explorer7 are professional, white collar, most likely own their own small (or large) business, have their pilot licenses and or brothers that made them compete for all kinds of things growing up!

I am not particularly fond of being stereotyped as to why I bought a 911 at age 53. Most of the stereotypes are not very flattering. I wonder if most women feel the same about being stereotyped as to why they do or do not buy a 911.

Every woman I have known liked it when I went slow...

There is a cute girl around here I see from time to time driving her 997 (with a manual no less) in traffic. I have not had the chance to talk to her yet.

DrJay,


It appears you have some work to do. You said cute.

Make sure you report back!

Oh trust me, first chance I get I am talking to her. I need to find her someplace other than on 394 heading out of town though.
