has your spouse finally come around!?

My wife has amazed me again.

After all this "I am sick of this Porsche ****".

She picks up "Excellence Magazine" and looks at a 74 RSR and says..."That is one Sexy *****".

Followed by "Yep, the Ass end of one of those Wide 911s is the Sexiest part of that car"


OH, Btw...the second comment was directed at a Pelican Ad

My wife has started looking at my Panorama and drooling over the late 90's cabs....

She said as soon as our business takes off we can get a new Porsche.

My wife has always supported it. Wouldn't be "wife" at all if she didn't.

oh, you mean my g/f. But she doesn't take 1/2 the money.

"wife" and "sleep with" don't really belong in the same sentence, do they? Well, unless there is a "doesn't" inbetween...

Y'all have it all wrong....

Do what I did. Find a girl at an Autocross with her own Porsche and convince her to marry you.



It's fun having a wife who puts things like "bumper tops" and "seat kits" on her Christmas list!



I am a Lucky, Lucky Man!!!

Mine understands throttle steer, can set the car up on its tyre side walls and can heel'n toe. And she doesnt need a set of unobtanium drilled pedals to do it. She's scary.

My wife just wishes I'd finish the 930 so she can scare the crap out of her friends (I'm hoping my wastegate circuit can keep boost down to 0.7 bar when I turn on the secret "wife is driving switch")

I suggested selling the motorcycles and buy her a Boxter but she said she prefered the motorcycle. So I sold her Honda Shadow 750 and bought her a Suzuki SV650S. Now we're ready to hit the backroads in the Texas hillcountry!

My wife has told me a "bazillion" times that she would drive a 993. I keep telling her "No". I'm the one that does the maintenance on our cars and I've found anything and everything in her car over the years. Including a green ink pen that leaked onto her leather seats in her Volvo. I couldn't take it if I found that kind of stuff in a Porsche that lived at my house. Her car is just an extension of her purse. Besides, it would have to a tip. And that ain't happenin!

if i ever get married, hit me....opps! wrong conversation. let me start over.

if i ever get married, i hope she has her own hobbies. i dont mind some crossover fun, like camping and fishing. but i like my car time being quiet time. very good therapy. i would be happier if my wife was into fishing and hunting than 911's. seems like a bigger challenge to buy a diesel truck/bassboat combo with a wife that hates my hobbies than sneaking in car parts.

Man, I know what you mean. My wife's car is a friggen' pigsty. I'm ashamed to ride in it. It's disgusting.
