Ordinary cigars are indeed blasphemous but a Cohiba......that's okay.

I once picked up an ugly fat chick in mine. But it was late and the bar was closing. Still have a butt goat on the passenger seat. Top that.

Way too proud of yourself. There are those of us who drive these things like real cars, day in and day out. On road, off road, in the mud, in the snow - it doesn't matter, you can't break 'em.

Top of the mountain, somewhere in Oregon, after 20 or 30 miles of dirt and gravel logging roads:


Monthly meet up in Issaquah, WA. Snow doesn't slow us down in the least:

I gave a friend's, friend (fat ugly girl) a ride in my 1966 Mustang as a favor once, I felt so violated for my car and it really threw off the handling too.

In the 911 I did get caught in a heavy rain once which was not going to go away. Kept it at about 4,500 to 5,000 rpm and was white knuckled the whole time down some scenic road to get home.

I also put a Harbor Freight portable carport garage box in it, I think it popped a seam/stitch or two in the passenger seat.

I don't know what the big deal is. (The defrost and heater works in mine ~ SSI's)

I think that's the biggest problem. A lot of P folk have removed their heating system or part there of.
Smoking? I'm trying to quit so I don't smoke in either car.
Not many dirt roads around my place but I do have a friend who lives on a farm who I visit often and yes she has a dirt road leading up to her front door.
the women farmers i know also have a dirt road leading to the front door. i don't think the women have to be farmers or live on a non-paved road though.

Cars are for driving and none are better at their job than a 911. I've driven mine in torrential rain, ice and even snow. It is the best two-wheel drive car in the snow I have ever driven. Just plants its butt and pushes along.

I just drove mine 700 miles. Day one of a 2,500 to 3,000 mile road trip. The rain outside has small HAIL!!!!! I parked in a good spot at the hotel.



Only minor sins. Driving the car, not sitting in the garage. And allowing rain to touch the paint.

I drove my Boxster across a small creek once while trying to reach a rally stage spectator point. With R-compounds on it. But it's not a real Porsche anyway, right?

My car defines Porsche blasphemy. First it's a 914. It looks like a rat rod with several panels in primer and some bondo showing. There is black duct tape on the drivers seat. Lastly, I painted gumballs over lifted paint on the doors and a peace symbol on the rear trunk lid. I drive in the rain and have driven in a snow storm. I even do a little drifting in the parking lot after work.

I do all those things often except the Lexus hat. I smoke all sorts of things in mine and I've hauled many bags of stones, mulch and plants home from home depot. I've even slept in mine

The only thing I wont do is expose it to salt.

Upgraded the stereo in an early 911.
