Is driving your 997 a high point of your day?

Driving my 997 has become one of the standard high points of my day. I always look forward to it, and am never disappointed. Seems like a major reason is that the car is so engaging that driving it pushes all other thoughts (especially the stressful ones!) out of consciousness. Anyone else feel the same way?

My wife acts like her Cayenne S is a 911 so when she gets in the cab things get scarey, but in the end it's still a pleasure being in the car.

When my wife drives my C63 AMG, she routinely spins the wheels and triggers the stability control when combining turning and accelerating from a stop. I've tried to explain to her that when you've got 451 hp and 443 ft-lb in a RWD front-engine car, you can't just floor it.

It's the best way to start an early Saturday or Sunday morning that's for sure, My off road bike friends are getting concerned that I am loosing interest in riding on the weekends, since I got back in to the 911 mode I am a little concerned too .
