I hate to admit it but I usually look also unless, of course, something distracts me…

It is running great! It really spools up fast. I've been hitting 5,500 to 6,000 RPM without even trying!

I always look back at all of my cars...okay, not the Minivan.

As for looks from other people, the Porsche gets a surprising amount of attention...both good and bad.

My Sonett gets a lot of attention. It's purple. It's tiny. Nobody knows what it is. BUT, it's a completely different kind of attention. Whereas I get a lot of thumbs up and rubbernecking from passersby in the Sonett, the Porsche seems to get endless stares, remarks from friends and family and friend of friends and family, an occasional smile and thumbs up from other drivers and also a bit of tailgating from people intent on racing or something (I ignore them)....all of this in only a few weeks of ownership!

-Eric

P.S. I now get the "ladies like Porsches" comments. It has nothing to do with the driver. lol

Yeah, I can't help myself it's one of the best looking cars, ever! I always tell myself I park so far way because I need the exercise.

HA! Ditto. EVERY 911 I've owned I go to the garage and stare. Often I'll start the sprinklers and study the shape. I love 911s.

Thanks!! I thought I was the ONLY ONE that needed to check it being locked multiple times. My issue was that I thought it was the result of CRS, not because I loved the car.

Would it rather be the latter.
