This started in another thread about the coolant tank leak, and my comment:

"I found out after my wife came in the house and said "your $90,000 car is leaking fluid all over our garage" and continued to walk past me. That's cold."

My wife would be estatic if I sold the c4s and bought a honda... go figure.

 

My wife is almost as enthusiastic as I am. Hard to get as addicted as me but she is definitely addicted to the P-Car. We just did a track event this past weekend and she was aprehensive being her first time and now she can't wait to go at it again. She even said we need to get another P-car so we can have our own on track days! Man I have it good.........not sure how I got so damn lucky, but I count my blessings everyday.

 

I think my wife is very tolerant of my obsession, but I don't think she shares it at all, and I don't think she even understands it. Her Cayenne S to her is basically a nice SUV (and she says I don't whine driving it as I did with her Land Cruiser, i.e. it keeps me happy when I have to drive it). About the only comment my wife ever makes is "Your car is loud!" (I told you guys the 997S exhaust is closer to PSE than 996 stock). I am trying to bring my 3 y/o daughter up right - she knows Daddy has a "POOR-SHA", prefers to ride in it, says Daddy's car goes "VROOM VROOM", and Mommy's goes "vroom vroom".

 

My wife just doesn't understand what the big thing about the car is. I tried to explain it to her but I may as well have tried to explain the Rule Against Perpetuities.

She thinks were all a bunch of over grown little boys playing with our toy cars.

She's right!

 

I am blessed with a wife who is an enabler and encourages my addiction. Heck, if I listened to her I would have bought every car I showed her. She never says 'no' but rather, 'you work hard, you deserve it'. Go figure.

 

She just wants you out of the house, C4!!

 

My wife just doesn't understand,' it's just a car 'she always says. Yeah, and a Rolex is just a watch. She does tolerate it though, she knows I need some release and I do work my ars off.

 

My wife doesn't share the interest but tolerates it. Just like I tolerate but don't understand Lious Vuitton bags and yet another pair of shoes.

 

Well said. How about recreational shopping. Oh, honey let's go see the new shopping center... "Wha???"

 

I got a big on a p-car FD it is..

Jason

 

My wife totally gets it. She was the one who pushed me over the edge to get the car. (I've told the story here before). She loves the way "Paulina" sounds with the GHL's (we've named the car Paulina Porschekova). She's always with me at the times when I rudely exceed the speed limit. She understands the need for accessories and mods. Life is good.

 

My wife views the P-car as my mistress.

I keep trying to talk her into a threesome.

It hasn't worked . . . yet

 

After showing her the options of potential new cars, she made the decision to buy the P-car That doesn't say she is addicted, far from that ("it's just a car"), but she understands what a P-car is about: culture, history, performance, style.

Another interestingway of testing whether a car makes impact is to take the kids: when the car is not cool they are totally focussed on their Gameboy, when the car is cool, they dump the Gameboy and like to go into the dealership and check things with a great smile on their face.

My two year old kids are calling me daddy broooom broom Porsche. What else do you need

 

Ever since that damned test drive with the Sunset salesperson she is still gun shy. She just leaves me and BamBam alone and makes certain my life insurance remains current.

 

I'll bet my wife and your wife could open a shoe store! My wife can't pass up any Nordstrom. Last week it was two pair of Miphesto's (hope I spelled that correctly).

Those two pair were pretty close to 1/2 the price of a PSE!
