21. Your other car (wife's) is a Porsche too, and it's still dirty compared to yours!

22. Your significant other proclaims that "you love your car more than anything else."
23. You listen much more closely to your car for signs of dissatisfaction or problems than you do to your significant other. [Browsing Rennlist: "Did you say something honey?"]

Another one that takes the cake is being obsessed towards your Porsche is putting on a car cover at work or at the Mall.

Your Alfa Romeo engine seizes and your first thought is .. that's going to mean I have less money to spend on the 996. (Oh and your still reading Porsche forums rather than shopping for a replacement car for the wife).

22: You constantly check the long range weather forecasts plotting and planning for dry and above freezing days so you can get your winter "fix"
I think I see one tomorrow

All our girlfriends and wives are shallow and like us just for our cars. They want to find a man with paper. Sorry, mine's for spending money on cars and parts - you can buy Sephora stuff with your money.
Wait what?

You dislike the way the rusted lug bolts detract from the look of the car, so you buy Ti lug bolts to get rid of the imperfections.

When the dealer calls to tell you they don't have the part and had to order it you say "oh man, how long will it take? I miss this car more than my wife" - and the wife hears every word and still reminds you of it four years later. True.
After sleeping in on a weekend morning and grabbing the first cup of coffee the kid tells the wife "Mom, Dad's up late cause when I got up for a drink last night he was in the garage polishing the blue one and it was like 1:00 in the morning" Wife says " what? you got of bed to polish a car" uh yeah, I couldn't sleep and Porsches are therapeutic. Also True
