Yea, I've met Dell's wife. She's totally cool. One of exactly two women I've ever met that were really into cars because they like them, not because their S.O. does...

Way back before Denver became the frozen wasteland that it is today(before dec 20th 06) I was driving by the corner where all the kids wait for the bus and I had my window down and heard and seen the "holy porsche" with teh jaw drop of about a 10yr old boy- even makes you feel good when its a kid!

And the other must be my wife, who had her first Porsche (914) at 21, and only met my good self because we both had Boxsters at that time.

We didn't use E-Harmony, just PPBB!

She does more Porsche miles a year in her car than I do in mine, and when I told her I wanted to buy the 996 last year, her answer was 'cool, which color?'



Funny Charles, she's never mentioned you though........

Or did you mean that Charles somehow knows both our wives in some strange way?

I get some great looks when I pull my 7mo. son out of the carseat in the back of my 996.

Me too.

When people tell me they need to buy an SUV because they are having a baby. I tell them that's why I bought my 911, because I needed a "family car".

My two year old loves it, her baby seat fits perfect.

Funny...I'd keep her too. Isn't it funny how we can spot 'em a mile away. I have found myself spotting one ahead of me, speeding up to get a better look....or are they slowing down to see me pass by????(this is the question)
