Quote: I begin by giving myself a full loofah using the finest natural sponges from a small shop in The Keys that Hemingway frequented. I can't recall the name right now but believe it rhymes with 'larouche'. No dandruff in Goldneye, you all name your Porsches as well I am sure.

Once thoroughly toweled I stand before my early 18th century Philadelphia Highboy and select a bespoke shirt, light starch, in a Belgian linen from the gentleman at Needle & Gristle. Pants are Japanese selvage denim, only washed with tears from a carp then frozen for 20 hours. This is done fortnightly.

Footwear is original Senna race-worn boots acquired in a poker match with the piloti himself nearby the old Dutch Grand Prix track at Zandevort.

By this point I usually need a nap so I forgive going for a spirited romp and retire to my Hastens bed.
Threads by JohnnyIrish and responses like this are the reasons I still lurk on Rennlist.

The thought of wearing anything special to drive the p-car never even crossed my mind.

True that. I present photographic proof - thank God that Kalash is a lot younger than the most of the rest of us.

If I was that handsome, I wouldn't need the Porsche shirt. Heck, I wouldn't need a shirt at all.

Does anyone else find it interesting that Putin was AWOL last week and Kalish had zero posts? Coincidence? I think not.

This post is worth one pint of beer and accompanying shooter, payable anytime you are in San Diego.

I DO have a special outfit I wear when driving my Corvette ("Iceman") - a denim vest over a "Bikini Inspector" t-shirt, cargo shorts, mandals, a "Summit Racing" ball cap, and Transitions self-darkening sunglasses. My leather sandals are offset by a pair of black socks, and I keep a stash of condoms in my fanny pack along with my RAZR and pager. My timepiece: A Casio Ironman on my off-hand, balanced by my original LiveStrong bracelet on the other.

In this weather, I may opt to remove the targa panels and skip the T-shirt - the denim vest and my extensive shoulder hair offer plenty of UV protection.

A full tank of gas, "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins on perpetual repeat, cruise control set at 46, and only one thought on my mind: the early bird buffet at Barona. I'm gonna make that carving station my b!tch.

I return the compliment the 5CHN3LL. A glass of Punt e Mes and a vigorous walk around my manse and grounds if you ever find yourself in Connecticut.

Wonderful - we can then retire to your study and look at ****. And by ****, I mean pictures of expensive watches and back issues of the Robb Report.

I drive naked. I want nothing between me and the ultimate car.

It also helps me keep my speed under control as I really don't like explaining it all to the cops when they pull me over. They just don't seem to understand

Well Rolexes (and most quality mechanical watches) are much like Porsches in that they require an attentive and informed operator plus a certain amount of regular maintenance. All of my four Rolexes and one Tudor and an Omega Constellation (cir. 1965) keep amazingly good time. Of course atomic clocks are the most accurate but like many uber tech things in the world...where is fun of owning them.

I'm a watch enthusiast as well but I'll be the first to admit that anything more than a Timex quartz is just man's jewelry and justification to show off. Even some COSC certified watches can't hold a candle to a $20 Timex for accuracy.

With that said, I do have a $250 G-Shock in my arsenal that syncs with the atomic clock stations around the world a few times a day. A microprocessor does differential analysis even on the position of the second hand to make sure it is in alignment with the atomic signal.

On another note, Breitling is taking a major pounding after Top Gear aired the episode testing and blasting the Breitling Emergency model.

Lol on the replies, but I'm gonna go in a slightly opposite direction. I am blessed to not have to commute to work, so my Porsche is not a DD. While I don't go as far as loofah sponges, etc., driving it is still an "event" for me that I look forward to, and after 1 year & 11 K miles my enthusiasm for this car, Porsche & the 911 has not diminished; if anything my enthusiasm for these have increased....T
