If your porsche was a person......

Well we all know that a good relationship builds between a pcar owner and the car. It essentially becomes part of the family. But which one would it be for is the question on my mind.

FOr me it would be kind of like a brother, older and younger at the same time yet needing the attention and play time, yet needeing to be a man about things when it comes down to business,

Maybe its just me cause im not out of my late youth yet but for some of the older guys its there baby who will never grow old in there mind. Or maybe like a wife that all it needs is a little love now and then too keep it happy. Or even the dashing young mistress who the "real" wife doesnt like but can entertain you all day.

Every pcar has a story, and yes a place in the family

Seeing as how I inherited my 356 from my father, took vacations wiht him in it, learned to drive in it, etc. I'd consider the car to be "dad"...

Mine would be the delinquent son that I'm always bailing out of jail & who is draining my bank account with court costs, attorney fees, & restitution.

Re: If your porsche was a person......

What do you mean "IF"?
Do you treat Porsches like second class citizens in your family?

My wife once got upset with how much time I spent working on the cars and blurted out " well, the porsche won't keep you warm at night!" to which I replied " actually it will, it has a heater!"


Took a while to get over that one...........so naturaly I voted for a shadowy mistress.

Lance Armstrong. Had cancer, but (hopefully) has it beat. Pulls pretty well for its age. Looks good in yellow.

That's yet to be seen, I have a 18 month old son & he's already showing signs of Oppositional Defiant Disorder . I think it's genetic.
