That list could be expanded... how about a couple additions:


When you approach any car with your key in your left hand.
When you correct people when they don't pronounce 'Porsche' correctly

[austin552]

When you post for financial, marital or health problems help on the PP OT forum.

[wholberg]

When you ago out of town and make sure that you book a hotel that has internet access...so you can check the Pelican board.

When you are late for work yet you have to stop, get out of your car, and take a nice careful, thoughtful walk around a beautiful 911 even though you know you'll be busted when you finally get to work.

Priorities, man.

[JonT]

when you have more $$ in your 911 than your 401k

[Zef]

When you are tired after a long day at work...but never enough to go in the garage to wrench a little bit on your baby.

[jimi_c]

When you start looking to buy a new home because you just need a garage.

You have all your car stuff shipped to the office because if she new the whole truth...well we just won't go there.

[Jgordon]

When you haven't dated a girl yet for whom you'd give up the car.

Although that's a self-fulfilling prophecy in a way, because if anyone asked, that'd be the first sign that they had to GIT!

That's me right now... I live in an apartment, and my lease is up in a couple months... I'm looking for something with a garage now!

When the journey IS the destination.

When your wife goes through your pants before doing the laundry only to find 8MM nylock nuts, fuses, etc.

[glenncal1]

Your collection of excellence and panorama magazines is in much better order than your tax records.

[Bill Verburg]

Your collection of Porsche related stuff is bigger than your porn collection

[JackMan]

Before you go to sleep you open the door to the garage and just stare at your 911.

When you put socks on your childs hands before they get in the car, just in case....

When you get rid of your cat because it was caught sleeping on top of your 911.

When you don't bother checking the radio in a PPI because you know you'll only listen to the exhaust note. (Really, how ofter do you turn on the radio?)

When you check the weather before work, not to see if you need a coat or an umbrella, but to see if its ok to drive the 911.

When you call ahead to a restaurant to check on parking conditions -- no door dings here -- before you decide which car to drive.

When you open the door for your wife, not to be a gentleman, but because you're afraid your wife will slam the door or the wind might catch it and bend a door hinge.

I think you're a porshephile, when you're read up on Pelican, go to swap meets, have a spreadsheet regarding the past year of cars for sale, have a stash of Excellence...yet have no porsche. I don't think porschephiles really have to own one to be a porschephile.

-When you and the boys sit in the porsche and pretend to go to Walmart...damn car isn't running yet! There's no engine in that thing.

[sammyg2]

When you realize the only friends you have are people you met on the Pelican board or at local PCA events.

[na2ub]

When your only pre-marital condition is that she will not try to stop you from tracking your porsche! Really!

[randywebb]

When you dump your girlfirend because:
1. she's not real petite and it will save weight,
2. her incessant drone intereferes with your ability to hear the engine
3. she complains the car is too loud every time you floor it

[Jeremy Cottrell]

When your furniture looks like this.
