Worlds best reason to own a 911
I do not own a 911 so I can win the next green light drag race. I do not own a 911 so other's will think I am rich and safisticated. I do not own a 911 to impress anyone besides myself.
I simply own a 911 because I spend more time thinkiing about my last drive, than I did driving it!

If you had a 930 you could win the drag races to boot.

What's wrong with people thinking you are rich and sophisticated?

Dreamed of one as a kid. Now, it turns frowns upside down.

I don't own a Porsche because it's faster than anything else. I don't own a Porsche to "beat" my friends who bought Subarus and Hondas (even though they really wanted Porsches). I don't own a Porsche because it impresses women, though women somehow buy into the "rich and sophisticated" appearance. I don't own a Porsche because I'm compensating for something smaller (not to say that I don't _need_ some compensation, just that the Porsche isn't it...).
I own a Porsche because driving a Porsche is more addictive than crack or heroine. I own a Porsche because of all the things I could have done with my finite supply of cash, buying the car I've wanted since I was 8 years old came up first on the list. I own a Porsche because, above all, it's just plain fun to drive. Woohoo! Dan

Why do I own a Porsche? You know how dreams are sometimes better than reality... not true with the Porsche. The reality of driving and owning one is much better than any dream. Besides, what else is there???

I heard German angels singing when I first sat in the driver's seat (and they haven't stopped yet)!!!

911s are the worst cars ever built... the hardest cars ever to work on... the most screwed over by resellers, the hardest to not get screwed over buying, and horrid money pits... Every 30 minute job takes three hours and at least $300 more than you exected.
However, when you're foot is to the floor coming around turn 9 at roebling road about to redline it in third it suddenly all seems worthwhile. especially when you're just a poor college student |
