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. ------------------ Jerry '86 carrera coupe |

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

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 that's 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. ------------------ Jack Olsen My Rennlist page • My Pelican Gallery page • My Porsche Owners Gallery page [This message has been edited by JackOlsen (edited 09-30-2001).] |

If you've stopped looking, it's time to buy a new car

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.) ------------------ '75 911S Targa '81 BMW Alpina C1 2.3 |

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

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? Replica Daytona there  ------------------ '75 911S Targa '81 BMW Alpina C1 2.3 |
