how long before...
 

How long before you stopped turning around to look at your p-car when walking away from it? Or have you ever stopped. I have had mine for a year now and I still almost always turn back to look at it.
Just a thought.

I've had my car 10 years, and it looks like an old hooker, but I still do it.

(looks like an old hooker means, it looks best in low light with its bra on)

You mean there are people who park their Porsche out of their sight? Strange...

I don't think it goes away -- even when the paint stops shining. It's just the shape and the attitude of the car.

The first Porsche to really catch my eye was the beat-up early-70s Targa that William Hurt drives in The Big Chill. Dents, dangling signal-lights, paint that's completely shot -- I remember thinking 'Now <u>that's</u> a cool car.' I'd totally forgotten even thinking about it when I bought a 911, 17 years later. But I knew what I wanted in my head, and it was the same black early-70s car (minus the Targa). I was actually a little disappointed in the new paint on my car -- scuffed and faded seemed more 'right,' somehow.

You will never stop looking at it.

Anyone remember a '70s TV program called Dan Tanner, or Las Vegas or something?
He was a PI in Vegas and lived in a warehouse. He drove is car into it too, it was all open plan so he could see is car all the time - e.g in bed, I guess. His car was a '67 or so Mustang.
Well, that's what I'd like. I could eat seeing my Car(s), sleep seeing them, it would be great! Wake up first thing and see my lime green beauty!
(I am talking about the car BTW.)

I think his car was a thunderbird

1973911s,
Hmmm.....maybe. Still can see a Mustang in my minds eye, but, I could very well be wrong.

No other way to put it Fishcop... I was hooked when I was thirteen; I watched Irwin Shaw's "Top of The Mountain", I haven't seen the movie since and probably never will again; but the image of the "fishcop" clocking the 930 down the highway covered with ice will never leave my sight.

1957 Ford Thunderbird.

Show was created by Michael Mann, a Chicago-born director who made the James Caan film THIEF, as well as HEAT and the upcoming ALI. It ran from 1978-81.

Jack,
Thunderbird, OK!
Michael Mann. Yep, I'm aware of him. Thief was really good. And didn't he create Miami Vice?
