You know you’re a Porschephile:

- When your light bedtime reading is a
Porsche technical manual.

- When you notice the digital time of day
around 9 AM or PM. (Or 3:56, 7:18, etc.)

- When your dogs jump up at the sound
of a 911 driving by.

- When someone says “Cup” it isn’t NASCAR.

- When you save last year’s (Porsche) calendar.

- When your stocking stuffer is a 10 mm wobbly socket.

- When your kids want to leave for school early if
you take the looong way in the 911.

- When someone says “911” your first thought
isn’t a terrorist attack or an emergency call.

- When you can recall your VIN
but confuse wife & kids names.

- When the souvenir X-ray you save is of a
911 connecting rod, not your kid’s arm.

- When some of your furniture are Porsche seats.

- When a TV stand is magnesium and
positions the TV 15” off the floor.

used Porsche parts.

You are a Porschephile Pelican:

- When you take note of a flock of migrating pelicans
and you aren’t an Audubon Society member.

- When you spend your time doing this.


Best,

Crazy, but "almost" every night, while in my den, I notice the time at 9:11pm, almost never fails.

You're building a new home and seriously considering the Porsche Design range hood for your kitchen.

autobonrun 11-18-2005 04:51 PM

You know when
 
without much thought you can quickly explain to the average Joe the differences between a

356, 911, 911E,911T, 911S, 911SC, Carrera, RS, RSR, GT3, 912, 914, 928, 944, 968, 959, 964, 930, 935, 993, 996, 997, .......

And when you start stacking the dam% things up in your garage.

You spend so much time with your car that your wife paints
"OBJECTS MAY APPEAR LARGER THAN THEY REALLY ARE" on the mirror over your bed.

1) When you try to start your wife's SUV on the left side of the wheel and say" I know honey, I was turning the lights on".
2) When the word "Porch" enfuriates me when some people refer to "the leyend".
3) When you go to the rear part of the car, to hear in the back of the license plate, the stereo sound of a Dank's twin pipe.
4)When you look at a new super Corvette owner and you "perceive" he rathe be in your 18 year old car.
5) When you buy a 24 pack of motor oil and not beer at Wal-Mart .
6 ) When you need to budget for an engine repair and tell the wife..."I think will be nice to stay here in the state, I'm not in the mood to go to Europe"
When a new Porsche owner says" Having a Porsche is cheap, I bought this for $12000 and you reply: "you just paid the initiation fee"

Grady, you are the man!! Cheers!

When you reach for the ignition in your Camry with your left hand . . .

When you look back at your baby exactly ten steps away from it whenever you park it, just to make sure it's ok and to take in all her beauty one more time . . .

When your password includes the word "Porsche" in it . . .

When your dreams include you on a twisty road with a [fill in the blank] long hood soft window Targa, 73S, Carerra RSR . . .

When you consider a dry sump oil system a minimal requirement for a track car, strike that, any car . . .

When a 28 year old Porsche 911 on the road turns your head quicker than a new Nissan 350Z.

RSBob 11-18-2005 10:29 PM

When you really don't mind that much when a small thing breaks (less than a 3 hour job) because you just love any excuse to wrench and learn a new part of the car.

slodave 11-18-2005 10:41 PM

When you drive your Toyota Corolla through parts of Mulholland as if it were a Porsche. And grin when you smell the overheated Corolla's brakes in your garage looking longingly at your Porsche.

Porsche Doc 11-18-2005 10:45 PM

When you own a Porsche shop. :D
Or dose it OWN me! :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, your R/C car collection consists of 911's.

My Porsche calendar on the wall is from two years ago...

Rob Channell 11-18-2005 11:32 PM

when you actually know what a Porschephile was (before Pelican) and used to be on the list......

when you tolerate no A/C or heat because it saves weight.....

when you skip out on fun things because you are saving for a 3.6.....

Nice list so far.
The worst (best) part is, most of us are guilty of ALL of them!

efhughes3 11-19-2005 04:16 AM

When you are ALWAYS looking for parts, as there can never be enough projects to-do.

limble 11-19-2005 06:02 AM

When you borrow your friends non-Porsche and it takes you a second to realize you are looking at the speedometer and not the tach.

When you schedule trips that coincide with Porshce events.

Before you take a business trip you post a message to pelicans in the area to find out what is "really" going on.

...the pedals come out of the floor? Well duh!

limble 11-19-2005 06:20 AM

When you first read what the cost of the new Carrera GT was and thought "only 1/2 a million dollars" and tried to justify it by thinking that the Enzo was over a million.

Or when someone in the office just spent $20,000 on a new car and you think that that could have bought a very nice 20 year old Carrera.

When your wife comments to a real estate agent that in this state, Minnesota, "you have to have a winter and a summer car"
