U know u r a Porschenut when.....

[emcon5]

You think a 17mm allen wrench is a perfectly normal thing to have in your toolbox.

[rstoll]

When you refer everyone who asks "what do you want for christmas?" to the Pelican Parts link.

[howie944]

When you see some spilled gasoline on a wet driveway and say ..That's where they came up with "Petrol Blue".

You pour your Starbucks into a cup with the Porsche Logo on it.

You get bored and put skulls, flames, fuchs replicas and a Porsche crest on your floor jack.

Your living room artwork consists of a Kills Bugs Fast poster.

You spouse goes to yard sales only to try to find a copy of Excellence Was Expected for you...(but she wants to read it too).

You go to the local hardware outlet and load 15 cinderblock pavers into the trunk and somebody asks you "won't that afect the handling"?

Your kids ask Hey are they gonna make the Pelican Parts shirts in our size"?

Your coworkers get tired of hearing how great the commute to work was even though you never made it over 40 MPH!

........you spend every weekend and all of you savings to build a garage to park your car.

[Jim Smolka]

... when you 1st heard of the show "Rescue 911" and thought it was a new broadcast about Bruce Anderson's restoration projects.

MM83Targa,
32mm socket, good for removing the nut on the rear drive flanges connected to the outer CVs. Hmmm. maybe I need to get out more...

You have a tag on your license plate that reads, "TVRs for breakfast, Ferraris for Lunch", and no one laughs because you really mean it

You believe cupholders are a clever solution to a non-existent problem

You don't have a "my other car is also a Porsche" bumper sticker because it would be stating the obvious

You keep worn components like torsion bars and tie rods because you are going to make them into an attractive and useful base for a coffee table. One day

When some one says Cayenne, you reply, if I wanted an SUV I'd get a Carrera 4

You can adjust your own valves, set mixture and replace a torsion bar bushing but you can't program a video recorder

You believe the tv series and sequel to 101 projects are overdue

You mean it when you say, the 996 is ok but I'd rather have a 911.

Your girlfriend and her mother start recognising 911 variants

A big lottery win is more likely to result in mega upgrades to your present Porsche than buying a new one

You believe that the best Porsches are in a constant state of improvement

Your neighbours are convinced you earn a living restoring old Porsches

You hired your secretary because she turned up for the interview in a 911E

You are convinced 911 seats help your back problem

When you wife asks you if your feeling frisky and you answer. "Why as matter of fact I am." Then you jump out of bed grab the keys and tell her not to wait up for you.

...your tool box is void of 16 and 18mm sockets and wrenches.

[pjv911]

When you read and refresh this bulletin 10 times a day.

[POPS]

....when your porsche owns 5 Ralph Lauren towels and you dry off from your shower with a towel that resembles a wash cloth from the kitchen.

[Milu]

I got up this morning full of good intentions about car washing and polishing only to find a blizzard outside the door, so…..

You know you're a Porsche nut when……

The sequence 1-6-2-4-3-5 has meaning

Your girlfriend knows what DME relays, cylinder head temperature sensors and shift coupler bushings are

You secretly believe that a concours is a car washing competition, however, under the mud your paint has seen more carnauba than any three Pebble Beach or Bagatelle competitors

You look forward to family get togethers because of the drive there and back

You like immaculate paintwork but you think that stonechips on a Porsche show it's loved and used

You like subtle and understated interiors but Porsche tartans and Pasha trim are ok

Your girlfriend has given up complaining about you stopping to look at every parked 911 when walking together

You believe the magbra is one of the great ideas of the 20th century

[mm86911]

When its Christmas morning, your wife wants to open gifts and you say "Five more minutes, I'm almost done reading the latest posts on Pelican".

[Isabo]

I laughed over these when I read them last year
I thought they were worth a revisit and due some additions

You know you're a Porsche nut when.......
* you want SC wings for Xmas
* you talk about limited slip difs, turbo tie rods and short shift conversions with a mechanic without feeling intimidated
* weight loss is about car performance
* you check the specs of earlier motorsport and later year models for upgrade ideas
* a 911 in a film makes it more interesting and when on a magazine cover you almost always buy the magazine

and you are a girl!

Merry Xmas
Isa

[k9handler]

when you can read a post here, get an idea and make a cheesy picture like this faster than Juan can go street light to street light!

[jester911]

When you get a new fender for christmas because someone dented one on the car

You buy parts for an RS conversion when you don't have a suitable base car and you're not even looking for one

I don't have one to add, unless it's reading the car ads before the headlines first thing in the morning. And, I'm guilty of the first entry, except I am looking. I have the front bumper.....no car, yet.

[BYantzer]

when you check into this bbs daily to learn, read or just get into a better mood.

BTW
Happy holidays everyone!!!

[cstreit]

..when you refer to the corner at the end of the block as "Turn One"

...when you practice the "proper race line" with the shopping cart in the grocery store

Who's Ralph Lauren? Did he work for Porsche?
