Porsche Crest Are you being unfaithful?

Do you look more forward to this BB than seeing your wife, sig other, or girlfriend of several years? Short time relationships get an Out of Jail Free card.

I know I am guilty of looking forward to cruising the BB even when out of town. My wife is not jealous of the car, but she resents the time I spend here. It feels like Wayne handed out crack to first time BB users.

Hello. My name is Rick. I am a 6 day a week user - 7 if lucky.

yes...

It's cutting into my work and garage time. I just installed a new muffler (dual out sport Danske) and I just wanna tell someone how great it sounds. The rest of the houses on my street heard it.

My girlfriend doesn't care. I know I have access to folks that think is it cool!

Shawn.

My wife gets tired of hearing about it, I may as well be speaking Portuguese. I think she's glad that I will have to change my focus to building a new garage

Hi my name is Kevin and I am an addict. There I said it. I too am 7 days per week. Don't want to miss anything. Wife is planning our 25th anniversary trip for the summer. I mentioned that I may find a P-car event that coincides. Seems reasonable doesnt it?

During the work week its a great "escape" while I'm trying to look busy at my desk. But unless there is an emergency with the car, forget it on the weekends. Too many other fun things to do than stare at the monitor and time is at a premium.

hell, i work on the floor of the Philly stock exchange. Since so much trading is electronic these days I stand in the front row of my pit with a mini lap top hard wired to the net. I check this thing many many times during the day, especially when its slow. I am turning 40 this summer and my gift to myself is going to be full blown racing school. We have 2 P-cars already and I am sure we'll either have a third or change the lineup this spring. I check this site and 1/2 a dozen others all day long.

Hello my name is Howard and I've been addicted to P-cars for over 20 years now. The first step is admitting you have an adiction.

Hello, my name is Dan, and I'm a Pelican-head. My significant other is black, 18 years old, and German, and weighs nearly 1.5 tons (she needs a diet in just the worst way). Sometimes people suggest that I get a _human_ girlfriend, but I don't know why.

Dan

While on my recent trip in Europe, I looked forward to finding an Internet cafe every day to check this bbs and our local NoVA bbs. Last night I was interrupted, while typing my own story about how fast a police car can go (see other thread), when my girlfriend had some story about getting married and moving. But I couldn't be bothered and told her we could talk after I was done with my post.

I dare not admit to my better half that this BB exsists. I only surf at work so that makes it easier to keep the secret, but it does eat into Monday mornings......

I have slowly indoctrinated my wife...she is becoming a disciple of Porsche and is even going with me to Hershey's this year! Not quite a believer yet...but close.

I know she talks about other stuff 'cause I see her lips moving but unless the words, Carrera, Porsche, 911, flat six, air cooled, sex or sandwich come out I don't really pay attention. The rest just sounds like Klingon.

I have a fair amount of time out on the road, so I get to read the BBS from all over the world. The rest of the crew has started labelling me as a "Room Refugee".

Yes, usually 7 days a week.

Hello, my name is Jim and I've been coming to this place for four years now, and I just cannot stop. And I just don't want to stop. Actually, I'm rearranging some of my other disgusting habits so I can make more time for Pelican. I currently do not live in a structure that contains females, and have no plans to import any. I might issue an occasional temporary use permit, but no permanent female occupancy is expected or desired. My conscience is clear, and I have no desire to fog it up.

The ex was a bit concerned that there was going to be a Manhattan Pelican meeting last month; what with the amount of time I spend "virtually" w/ the P-heads, now this was going to cut into real time?
I check in sporadically all week. I read and learn in this forum -- I don't know enough yet to contribute to many technical topics, so I save most of my blather for the OT threads.

This is definitely my least unhealthy vice.
