...that seriously giggles every time I see that 997 in the parking lot and realize yes, damn, that really is mine? I mean, geez, everytime I see it it makes me smile and chuckle to myself, thrilled. What an amazing car.

I loves it, my prrreeesshhuusss...

Nope, you are not alone. I think we all do that to some degree.

After parking my car and as I walk away from it, I always find myself looking back for one last glance at my car and it always puts a big smile on my face.

I still oogle 911s as I drive only to realize that I am driving one myself. The iconic shape has to be one of the most beautiful ever created. The car is a rolling work of art with the performance and race heritage to match.

A couple of times a week, when I park my DD in the garage I run my finger over the curve of the back fender and I admire the art.
My wife saw me once doing that and stated "tough competition"

Glad the 911 stirs all your souls (I'm not being sarcastic). I guess though I'm just a square peg in a round hole because I don't wax poetic about my car. It's nice and I like it - but to me it's just a car, a very good looking and fast one but a car nevertheless. Maybe I'm missing the Carrera gene. (Racing bicycles, however, that's another story.)
