Valentine's Day Dates Involving Porsche

Share some love with the help of Porsche

When you're going out somewhere with someone special, it helps to drive something special. Fortunately for Porsche owners, they've already got this base covered.

Porsche cars are some of the most meticulously engineered machines you'll find on four wheels. There's so much behind the design of one of them that can only be truly experienced on a no-holds racetrack. Even then, it still wouldn't be apparent just how detail-oriented Porsche is in their quest for perfection.

So, why does any of this matter on Valentine's Day? If you're driving around in a mechanical masterpiece like a Porsche, regardless of where you take your partner this Valentine's day, you're guaranteed to be getting there with perfect grace and style. While many couples opt for conventional plans like dinner and a movie, here are some Porsche-themed ideas you might consider with your date.

Of course, this is provided the special someone gets equally as excited about Porsche as you do. If this is the case, you've had better luck with dating than we've had.

Test drive Porsches together

From a certain point of view, Porsche test drives are quite akin to wine tastings. You get the opportunity to experience a potential range of products that would be normally very expensive even to experience. They're different in the sense that you've got superior German engineering taking the place of some rotting grapes, but who wants to split hairs? If your partner likes wine, you can make the comparison to entice her. Just in case experience isn't as fun for her as you made it out to be, it may help to have a bottle of Chardonnay at the ready.

Give the gift of driving school

Driving lessons are a great way to build confidence on the road in a relatively safe and supportive context. There are even courses that focus in on the automaker themselves, although they naturally tend to be predictably heavier on one's wallet.

We're aware that a gift of driving lessons could be construed the wrong way, particularly if you've made skill-related remarks in the past. Even if it turns out this is the case, we think a course specializing in Porsche would be too fun to stay mad for long.

Buy your partner some brand merch

If your partner has that Porsche love, merchandise is a nice way to celebrate the interest. Clothing and coffee cups aren't likely manufactured with the same degree of sophistication as the cars themselves, but the positive brand association should be enough to make a smile by itself.

Check out the Porsche Experience Center

Porsche is one of those brands that command respect even with folks who otherwise know nothing about cars. The Porsche Experience Center in Los Angeles is a wonderland for Porsche owners and casuals alike. Among the exhibits and displays that you'd expect to find at a place like this, there's a chance to drive a variety of Porsche cars on the test track. The PEC also offers the paid use of a Porsche simulator, meaning you and your date can live out your high-speed dreams without the risk of a Valentine's mishap.

Take a scenic route together

If you've got a great car like a Porsche to work with, even a leisurely drive has the potential to become a powerful experience. This is especially true if your date isn't used to the Porsche experience. You don't need a destination in mind to make it worth it. In fact, sometimes it's best to have to end goal at all; that way, both of you can fully enjoy the drive for what it is. 

A regular date is better with Porsche

It's fun to speculate on Porsche-themed dates. However, most owners with Valentine's arrangements planned will still probably resort to conventional date plans. The good thing is that Porsche has still got you covered no matter what. Picking up your date in a Porsche is going to feel fantastic regardless whether you're headed to the Porsche Experience Center or a quaint French bistro down the road.

In any event, no matter which way Porsche factors into your plans (or whether you have date plans at all) we wish you all the best with whatever you do this Valentine's. Life is short enough to be stressing over date plans going awry. There's every reason to feel optimistic if you're a Porsche owner. No matter how things unfold, you'll always know that perfection's a key twist away.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!
