I thought this might be a good thread idea...

You know you're a Porschephile if...

you hear "nine-eleven" and you don't think of New York.

it's instinctive to hold a key in your left hand.

you tried to get "911" as your p.o box number.

you notice times on the clock like "9:11", "9:30", "9:56", '9:28", "9:17" etc.

you can't stand it when people use the dreaded one syllable word.

you don't need a radio.

you shop for Porsche parts for a model you don't ever plan on getting.

you plan Porsche dealers into your road trips.

you get excited when you see another 911 although you're driving a 911.

you think there aren't enough 911 models.

you think people are crazy if they can afford a Porsche, but buy a Mercedes.

you go to check the engine on your non-p-car, you're greeted by some golf clubs.

there's no non-p-car engine to check.

you collect excellence.

your idea of TV is looking at your car.

your house's walls are like a 2d Porsche museum.

you think three Porsche's is just getting used to it.

you got excited when the Panamera turbo came out because finally you had an excuse for your wife to get a Porsche.

everything you just read is true.

Let's see what you guys can come up with!

 

omg I swear I look at the clock JUST as it turns 9:11!

 

You're a 40 year old man and you have a multitude of toy Porsche race cars in your office. . .


PS: I had a couple more but the movers destroyed them when I moved offices recently.

 

random ones from other porsche forums:

- your 2 year old is learning to count and says 3.. 5 6 You clap and say what a genius.

- you have more money invested in your 911 than your 401

- Porsche dealers call you for help troubleshooting obscure problems.

- you see a pretty girl driving a 911 and you will notice if the car's valves need adjusting before you notice her.

- you first heard of the show "Rescue 911" and thought it was a new broadcast about Bruce Anderson's restoration projects.

 

You pat the crest on the steering wheel and apologize after hitting a harsh bumb.

 

You know Porsches better than their owners.

Some may remember my story a while ago about an acquaintance who claimed to drive a GT2. Told him he was wrong from a couple pics, left it at that. Came back to me months later "dude you were right ... it's not a gt2, it's a tt". No $hit Sherlock.

 

When you start threads about being a Porschephile....

 

these are great and so true guys...

when you notice the teamspeed post times and relate them to Porsche models. Example, STOPPIES post was at 4:15. 4:15 as In the hp # for the 997.1 GT3. Other examples: I.E 9:11.

 

Whenever you aren't driving your porsche you take that 30mph corner just a little too fast.

Whenever you are driving your Hummer you still swerve to avoid bumps in the road.

 

When you know why the ignition is on the left of the steering wheel.

When you know how awkward it is to jump start a 911.
