I bought a 944, stuck it in the garage and drove the snot out of it on the weekends... didn't really mention it or brag to any of my friends of family.
Just different strokes...

No defense of McLovin needed - I see his point. I just find the topic interesting since this is a "Are you a snob" thread. This, "I own these things, but I don't want anyone to know I own these things because they might get the wrong impression of me" views are fascinating. There might be a little snobbery when those same folks (And just to be clear, I'm not saying this is McLovin's view) look down on those that are actually out enjoying their stuff. I'm not talking about the bragging, in-your-face type with the "2HOT4U" plates - there's always that component. I mean folks who enjoy the car hobby and like to share it with others.
Oh, and for the record, I'm not too into events, and clubs and such, but I can see how it's fun. After 12 years of owning Porsches I've finally joined the PCA club and am having a good time.
