Recent Purchase - How Long Before...
 

...I stop going to the garage every 20 minutes to look at my "Black Mistress"? :D

I pass my wife in the family room on the way to the garage. She's getting a bit suspicious... :P

It won't be long. After a while it'll be 25 minutes!
Nice choice!

You will be making "extra" trips into your garage until the mistress no longer lives there.

Just don't let your wife catch you with the gas cap off and your pants around your ankles :)

Welcome to the group! Great looking car!

dude, ive had mine for almost a year and i look at the window every 30 minutes- think i lost my last girlfriend because of it! not really but, almost- nice wip- im from oakland too (through h.s.)

Wait til you get busted just standing and staring with the garage door closed. I bought my P-Car alittle over a year ago and still get caught sneaking time with my toy. The wife actually doesn't seem to mind so much.

Enjoy it!

That is a great looking car! Interestingly, my "new" 1986 911 is the first car I have owned that my wife actually likes; she is crazy about it. Have fun.

My wife calls my SC my mistress, and my daughter thinks I need therapy. I'm just happy the garage is attached I don't even have to put shoes on to go see her.

Nice car! Hey, do you know any fast roads up there by UC?

Re: Recent Purchase - How Long Before...
 

Never. There's always an excuse to go look at her.
What's worse is parking her and finding that you can't stop keeping an eye out for careless door dingers.

That is a beauty!! And a Targa too!!

My wife laughs at me because I still go out in the garage and just stare at her. Sometimes if we are heading out I will grab her arm and yell, "Look!! I have a Porsche!!" I still cannot believe I got one after lusting after them for almost 20 years.

Enjoy it!! I also go out and sit in mine from time to time even though I daily drive it.

I've had my first one for almost a year and still have to check up on her... My wife thinks I need serious help.

Your wife will really think you've lost it when you have a detached garage, live in Chicago, put a jacket and hat on over your bathrobe on a February morning to "get something I left in the garage," EVERYDAY!!!

Thats the best feeling! If I could package that feeling in "Drug Form" I would be rich!

Congrats!

Jason

You'll never grow tired of looking at her!:D

Gorgeous car, btw. I've got a black Cab but my wife's favorite type is the Targa, just like your beauty.

hey, is that tilton road? sweet ride! you just keep looking. grab a bag of garbage everytime you sneak into the garage. make a game of it.

You know shes a mistress when you wait till the wifey is asleep.....then sneak to the garage. Shhhhhh.....I'm on way right now.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

The pics were taken on Skyline Blvd. Grizzly Peak Blvd. nearby also offers great twisties and awesome vistas, but those roads are unfortunately also favorites for bicycles, motorcycles, Hondas w/fart cans, deer, etc.

Well, time to check on the "mistress"... :D

That's a nice SC! I like you license plate:D

Congrats on your new 911 - looks almost exactly like mine did when I bought it - black/black targa w/turbo tail and front spoiler. Mine's an 87, though... I live in the Montclair neighborhood and know that spot where you took the pic - I'll send you a PM...

just wait until you drag your bed out there..;)

It will likely get worse!
I made it a custom to end each evening with a last glas of wine and a smoke in the garage just to look at my SC. With a likelyhood of at least 50% I'll end up with a screw driver or wrench or at least a flashlight to check whatever. And if that's not enough I read Waynes' book, my new 911 SC book (Porsche Excellence by Design) or the Bentley just for fun until I go back to fill up the glas again...life has a meaning!

Your black mistress' black brother:

Damn. here it is almost 10 o'clock on a Saturday night and I just had to go shovel another 12" of snow off of mine so i could at least see the cover it's been under since November. Only 2 more months of winter...still up to my ass in the miserable white crap. Next year I have to find a way to convince my wife to park her car outside so the mistress can at least sleep in the garage...which is likely where I'll be sent too. Hey, that's not so bad, is it? ;)

Enjoy yours!

Oh! I'm so glad to hear this!
 

I thought I was the only one with this neurosis.

There is nothing like going out from the house to the garage at night to see the car sitting there. To see it glistening, then to crack open the car door, climb in, take a deep breath and realize its all yours just waiting to be fired up whenever your ready.

I've only had the car for going on 3 weeks, and I look for ANY excuse to go outside.

Thanks again for the greetings and complements. And for helping feel a little less silly about my garage "rendezvous" issues.

While we're all coming clean here, I don't daily-drive my 911, so when I'm in the office, I'll find myself occasionally pulling up a .jpg of the car (can't quite bring myself to make it my desktop wallpaper, however). And when I work from home - fuhget about it! :D I rarely used to leave the house for a lunch break. That has changed recently (at least when it's not raining).

And it's good to hear from some fellow Bay Area SC owners. If I see you on the road... SmileWavy

Same here.

My 4 YO girl is more obessed with the Porsche then I am and gives "Rosebud" a kiss and hug each night. She wanted to bring her sleeping bad and pillow downstairs to the garage .

Now Mom is getting real jealous:rolleyes:

Enjoy :cool:

Nice looking car! Welcome to the obsession!
