The other day I had an older woman in a parking lot come up to me because she saw me putting groceries in the frunk. She hadn't seen a 911 up close before I was wondering where in the engine is was putting my bags. I politely explained that the engine was in the back.

My wife decided to 'organize' the workbench and tools last month, while I was on a business trip. It is very uncluttered now. But it was 'organized' by someone who looks at a Phillips vs flathead screwdriver with a mixture of confusion and panic.
Fear the German woman who IS interested in an organized garage.
If anyone knows where she put my Allen wrenches, let me know, won't you?
I think I'll 'organize' her cosmetic drawers over the weekend. That should go well, yes?

It's also my form of passive aggressive yet silent protest.
She just did the laundry room 2 years ago but now wants to reno her reno.

No. Here in Scottsdale, it takes at LEAST a Ferrari to impress.

And that clean garage better be attached to a 5,000 sq ft + house...

What is that gawd awful thing on your bumper?

If you want to attract females, get a puppy.

If you want to attract other dudes, keep the Porsche.

Most of the women I've dated know nothing about cars. Never really been impressed by a Porsche. And that's a good thing.

This!!!!!

I hardly get noticed by women in my car... Take the puppy out to obedience training and every woman out there wants to stop and talk and is super friendly.

The funny thing is that my wife worries more about the car that I wanted than the dog that she wanted! Not that she has anything to worry about.

Lol love the hilarious comments on here

Maybe ladies not attracted to the P car.. Maybe just me...

Was looking at a '13 458 Italia with little over 1200 miles $225k at Mclaren Houston few months back. Someone else scooped it up rather quickly. I feel the Italias are over priced for what it does performance wise

Btw, that thing on the bumper is more valuable to me than the car itself

I haven't been able to locate the button for "chick magnet". Perhaps my car didn't come with that option.

There are so many Porsche's in Atlanta and being 57 years young I don't notice any looks. Sadly, I get more comments about my car from high school boys and those same guys driving their Mustangs, WRX's, and other Fast and Furious wannna be types looking for a race. As for my wife, she hates my car. Too raw, too hard, too loud. Works for me!!!!

No such luck mostly dudes and car guys talking.

I did have some young woman walk by me while parking the GT350 and say in a sexy voice "hey daddy" - I thought that was pretty funny.

Only thing in the 911 I did have some twenty something recently compliment the car at a beach. This girl is wearing only a bikini - great body she just walks on over and asks if she can sit in it. I opened the door lol. I'm married so that's as far as it went.

LOL 10 minutes after I took delivery of my 2006 Cab, I was at the gas station pumping gas and the girl at the pump next to me walked up to me with a can of diet coke and said, "hi, can you open this for me, I don't want to hurt my nails" So I did, handed it back and she said "thanks, nice car!!"

If you can't get a girl without the car, you can't with it either...

Shave down below?
