How did you tell your wife you bought a 911?
Amazon did it for me
  Hello, my name is Jamie and I just bought my first Porsche, 1988 911 G50. Usually she knows another car is coming when the hat shows up

If you can afford to buy, fly and maintain a Cherokee six then a Porsche is like buying a bicycle no big deal.

When I bought the GT4 it went something like this...."I think I just bought a GT4 today, well at least made a commitment pending PPI and such." Wife..."Cool. Where are we going to pick it up"?

Get off my lawn!

My wife came with me when I went to look at the 911 I have owned for 26 years now. She said she know I was going to buy it when she had to use several paper towels to wipe the drool from my chin.
The price was just loan value, and I could not get my checkbook out fast enough.

I always say, happy wife and you get to keep half your ****. I’m lucky my wife puts up with my bad jokes and antics. She jokes that I can bring as many Italians home I want as long as they don’t have boobs. But this will be my first German. |

If it’s mechanical and in my hangar or garage I’ll wrench on it. Airplanes are amazingly simple machines.
