Is It Wrong....
To go down stairs and just sit in your 911 at 1 AM?

Nope
Nothing wrong Wife / significant other might think you're bonkers or off your rocker. But hey it's a work of art and it might as well be the same as going downstairs and staring at a Picasso. It's art in my opinion. |

That's a rhetorical question, right?

I've done it just to get away from everything and in the dark my interior looks OEM fresh.

As a matter of fact, I have done it many times in my younger days but never in my 911. Oil smell or not. Love that smell BTW

And don't say I should use the garage side door, because then I will be floodlit in my pyjamas, and have to clamber(no doors on this roadster) into my Vindicator, somehow get over the transmission tunnel/shift lever into the passenger seat than clamber out over the other side to get to the Porsche, only to realise that I've left the car key in the house.

Get off my lawn!

There is a 1:00 AM?
Oh yea, I remember that from watching TV and movies. ![]() I go to bed and stay there until the alarm goes off. At my age I go to bed by 11:00 PM. I have owned my 911 for 20 years and I still love the smells and feel of the car and have spent many 12 and 14 hour days driving across several states followed up by 8 or 10 hour day. That is way more rewarding than just sitting in your car. I do fully understand and know what you mean.

Nope!!! And also not wrong to always "look back" when you park it some place!

Haven't done that, but I have been caught caressing the front fender - without even being aware that I was doing it.
It was a strangely satisfying experience. |

Yes - wrong! You are supposed to take it for a spirited nighttime drive! Or do you drink?
