Posting to this thread requires the utmost discretion, in the event my wife ever hacks my password. First, I have to take issue with Wayne, based on my east coast experience. I am an average looking guy, and I'm not getting any younger. I've had a 240z and have a 325i in addition to the 911, which I've had for a year. Also have a jeep which my son inherited when I got the 911. In the 3 or 4 years I've had the beamer I had one woman approach me in a very friendly manner complimenting me on the car. I had the z for 3 years and didn't get a second glance from any woman. Ditto the jeep. Since I've gotten the 911 I'm older and uglier than I've ever been and I'm getting hit on once a week, usually by women 20-30 years younger than me. I've been married since '77 and did not get the 911 because I thought women would like it (and want me)--I got it because
I wanted
it . But to be honest, given the reaction of women, I wish I had gotten one, say, 5 years before I met my wife, who I of course would have married eventually anyway because it was fated and I would have realized that all those women I was getting with the 911 were shallow and I could never have had a relationship with one of them as rewarding as with my wife, who, of course, is the love of my life which is why, of course, I don't give the time of day to these shallow women who are hitting on me. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
