What makes driving your classic Porsche special, or any Porsche for that matter?
Mine is in the shop, and our relationship has been a bit temperamental. I am hoping to fall back in love with it soon.

I love it because it's the car I'd wanted since I was 3 or 4 years old, and even after having owned mine for four years now I *still* stop, smile and do a head-swivel when I see another one go by in the city. I particularly love how visceral it is - the feel of the steering (even the kickback), the suspension, the sound of the engine, the shifter, everything. I love the "old car smell". I even find it pleasant and comfortable to drive for long stints at 70-80mph on the highway, even if my Saab is objectively much more confortable for that.
