What is the dry drunk syndrome? "Dry drunk" traits consist of:

* Exaggerated self-importance and pomposity
* Grandiose behavior
* A rigid, judgmental outlook
* Impatience
* Childish behavior
* Irresponsible behavior
* Irrational rationalization
* Projection
* Overreaction
-----------------------------

I guess I am a dry drunk with a Porsche problem. These traits describe a lot of porsche owners I know.

1. Yes we drive the best car on the road.
2. I suppose driving it is an example of grandiose behavior
3. Most other cars suck in comparison, which is a rigid and judgmental outlook
4. I am extremely impatient when stuck behind slow cars--particularly in the left lane which causes occasional--
5. Irresponsible behavior--nuff said
6. Irrational rationalization- "sure, $15K is normal for an engine rebuild--it will increase the value of the car"
7. ??? but I am sure I have it
8. Overreaction. You want to see over reaction? Hang around with me when someone puts a ding in my door!!!!

My name is Chuck and I am a Porsche addict. (with no real intention of getting better)
