Or you may hit the jackpot, C) a girl who is thrilled it is a 930 and starts asking you all about the car. The engine, what you did to the car, if you are the original owner, etc. You can tell if she was just interested in the car or if she is interested in cars in general. Then you would know you have a common passion.

I'm sorry but a woman caring about cars is the absolute last thing that would matter on my list. It's so hard to find perfect compatibility and mutual attraction in this crazy world, her sharing my weird hobbies/obsessions would be a non-issue. Most great relationships I've seen have a certain amount of autonomy in them, i.e. each person has their own life as well as their life together and I would expect my car hobby to be in the "own life" category. I haven't met many truly interesting women who give a shake about cars. There are exceptions to everything, of course, (including you perhaps),
, but I could care less about it.
I'd be much more concerned with making the wrong impression on some total catch of a chick. It is unfortunate that most people do not see a Porsche driver as some interesting, adventurous motor racing fan. They see him as tool who is looking for attention. I own them in spite of the image. It's not a good image.
