Post Porschephile

Ok guys, I am writing a paper for my college composition class. I am supposed to pick any slang word and describe it for people who don't know what it is. I am thinking about doing it on Porschepile. So, I need some of your descriptions of a Porschephile. Unless someone has a better slang word to use...


Help out a phellow Porschephile.




Porsche, through and through

Porsche Crest

Just chop it into its roots.

Porsche == Porsche, obviously.
Phile == Greek for "like" or "love".

Porschephile == someone who loves Porsches.

Well we could write your paper for you BUT! Most of us have been there done that. Maybe this is why we have been able to afford a Porsche. Post college education!! I own Two by the way 928 and now project 914.
Guess I want no compromises in performance and have rewarded myself with My 1st 928 at the age of 27. Way before my hair fell out and or turned gray. I decided to ward off the middle age crisis early. so far so good.

I always thought it was "Porsche-o-phile". Learn something new every day. And just for the record, you don't need a college education to own a Porsche. I bought my 914 this summer as a rising Sophomore in college. All you need is about $3,000 and a self-destructive desire for a car that is only slightly more reliable than something from Britain or Italy.

You Can also use the 12 words you can't say on T.V by George Carlin. Put one on each page. I find that by using these words parts will fit better, also come off after one to two hours during their use.

Its called researched, somebody does it in order to know more so they can write something better.
