Default 7 Deadly Sins of Porsche Ownership

Lifted this off the internet today....

The 7 Deadly Sins of Porsche ownership

1. Slamming the front hood.
2. Using the wrong vocabulary like saying “Porsh” or “V6”.
3. Wearing Porsche branded apparel in public when it's not appropriate.
4. Spending too much money at the Porsche dealership.
5. Letting other people drive your Porsche unsupervised.
6. Leaving your Porsche out in the sun on a hot humid day.
7. Using an Automatic car wash.

Seven more:

1) Pride: Talking about Porsches in front of an automotively disinclined audience
2) Greed: Subscribing to the theory that: If one Porsche is enough, more is better, and too many is just right.
3) Lust: Describing your Porsche as "having a nice ***."
4) Envy: Describing your neighbor's Porsche as "having a nice ***."
5) Gluttony: Installing Hoosier tires
6) Wrath: Having your Rennlist thread hijacked
7) Sloth: Doing "just one upgrade" that cascades into a five-year restoration

hahah. well done.

I struggle with this one: 3. Wearing Porsche branded apparel in public when it's not appropriate.

When IS it appropriate? Marque-specific events, track days, while hand washing, anniversary dinner with the wife...
