Thumbs up

....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.


LOL...I do this too, only I've never had the courage tell anyone.

When you need a support group because other people wouldn't understand.

When you bought a spare engine just to have a "spare", and put it in the basement.

When your wife doesn't like the four wheel drift in the shopping cart at the grocery store.

When you must drive around just to burn off the condensation for the ol tank.

When you'll drive a 30 year old car around in the snow with no heat!

When all the little diecast cars, slot cars, models, etc you aquire are also Porsches, and some even of your own car.... Chris!

When you're the third owner of a 25 year old car that you've had for 7 years and your still figuring out how to drive it better and you've never figured out the heater controls.

.... when a steady stream of clients walks thru your office during the office Christmas party, looks at the Nick Watts paintings of 917's and early 911's on the walls and say, "so, you're into NASCAR, huh?". And you just sit back, smile, and say, "yeah, somethin' like that ..." -- Curt

when your roomate gets a job as a porsche parts guy and could care less if he's making more money than he was at his old job

when you can get out of almost any situation with heavy pressure with your right foot.

and let's not forget..........laying on cold pavement in the middle of winter to do something you could've done when it was nice out, but decided to drive her instead.

and finally...........the extra cash that pops up here and there and not even thinking twice where it's going to go

... When your friends - who couldn't care less about cars - can tell you a Porsche's model, year, number of liters, and accelleration times on sight... and hate themselves for it.

You automatically try to put the key in the left side without thinking, even when driving someone elses car.

You double clutch downshifts....in your pickup truck.

"losing weight" has nothing to do with exercise.

Your driveway is affectionately referred to as " the paddock"

The oldest car you own occupies your 1 car garage.

You think any wheel that isn't forged is CRAP.

When you get a second mortgage and invest $20,000 on engines up grades

When you find yourself at 3.00am on your garage looking at the tail pipe trying to figure out how you can Bond with your
car

When you go to Victoria Secrets looking for some Soft Ladies Underwear so you can rap it around your shift sick

Who's Ralph Lauren? Did he work for Porsche?
When you associate Ralph Lauren with "the guy who owns a 959" rather than a clothing designer.

When your six year old looks through all of the Matchbox at the store to find the 911's. When he says "I'm going to tell mommy you were speeding again" (which I don't with him in the car - just get on the boost a little until I reach the limit )

When you sit in front of the big screen with the surround sound at 100db watching LeMans and think it is the best film ever made.
