Well, I checked
three boxes, because no single box encapsulated it for me. For one, I grew up around Porsches. In 1964, when I was born, my dad owned a 356 C. Later - in 1971 - he bought his first 911, and kept it until it basically became a rusted heap up in the Santa Cruz mountains in the mid-eighties. He loved his Porsches and loved to watch sports car racing. He took me to Laguna Seca twice a year as a kid twice back in the seventies and early eighties and parked us at the bottom of the corkscrew every time. I watched first the RSR's and then later the 934's and finally the all conquering 935's just dominate all comers. It was awesome for me.
Second, I love to work on these cars. I'm constantly fiddling with them, fixing this and that. I get great pleasure from this.
Third, I love tracking my cars. I try to do as many DE's and autocrosses as possible.
These are the reasons why I own my Porsches.
