stockid is infamous around these partsstockid is infamous around these parts
Okay, let me give it a try.

1. When you stare at pictures of your car on your phone at work.

2. When every trip you take the long way.

3. When all your friends want to "drive your car cause they may be getting one."

4. When the wife says, "how many Porsche magazines do you need?"

5. When your kid says "let's go for a ride Dad, with a smile."

6. When you pull off the freeway cause you thought you heard something.

7. When people actually move out of the fast lane when they see you coming.

8. Hanging out a Sharwerks.

you are a 997 driver or P driver
1:997 has the best looking butt when parking among with others;
2: would ask the guy parking right beside you to leave first politely;
3:you would appreciate a good looking girl not by her appearance,instead she can tell 997,996,993 or she can appropriately point out where is the engine located?LOL;
4:Wife or girlfriend finally stop yelling at you for spending more time on 997 than her;
5:Floor the gas pedal is not for show-off,just for enjoying the Flat 6 mentra;
6:you will be confused by speedometre while driving other car,as 997 has digital speed indicator
7:so many others

I'll add 5 more..

1) when you track the satellite images on google maps of your final destination well ahead of time to ensure that there is no loose gravel/dirt road.

2) when you get excited after your wife tells you that she forgot to buy an item or two from the grocery store earlier that day when she went out shopping

3) when patients tell you: "I've always wondered how someone would choose to specialize in such a dirty field (I'm a Gastroenterologist) .... now I know the answer".

4) when all the young boys who work in Shell gas station ask everyone around you if they would want their windshield cleaned with their courtesy squeegies and don't even bother coming anywhere close to you.

5) When your wife starts to type the alphabet P in her computer...automatically porsche usa is suggested.

Number 2) is so true,happens to me all the time

In the first week when i bought my P car, I actualy sneaked out at mid night,like 3 o4 am in morning when my wife fell to sleep, twice. It feels like dating with a secret mistress, full with excitment, anticipation and loyalty;

...you remove your wheels to clean the insides!

...you put the windows down before cold starts to hear the exhaust pops and gurgles.

...you don't think twice about paying hundreds of dollars for plastic wheel center caps.

You know you're a 997 driver when you find yourself looking at the rear end of your own car and it reminds you of a woman
