If I had my million dollar car in the showroom, I wouldn't care if a fellow Porsche owner sat in it/started it up. However, a random person, absolutely not. Got to be in the club IMO.
I don't see how it matters if someone else owns a Porsche as to whether they are allowed to mess around with another owner's car without their permission.

I honestly wouldn't care if someone drove my million dollar car as long as they don't scratch it.

Hmmm.... Tell us Speedster... what car do you currently drive?

Would you approve of this rubbing??

Yeah sounds good, good luck "choosing" your car. In the meantime maybe you can start a few hundred more This Car vs That Car threads.

Suggestion - Don't make claims about what you would let people do to your car until you actually get your car.

I'm sure once she/he graduates from high school, Daddy will buy a cute little Porsche for him/her.


Gotta love the Internet... anyone can be whoever they want to be.

What a dumb unconstructive comment, that clearly shows your insecurity with yourself.

Agree 100%. The 1x1 weave doesn't look nice. The 2x2 is awesome !

I was visiting my brother who works in sales at the P dealer here yesterday when all of a sudden it sounded like a race car was being driven into the showroom. Went over and looked and it was a 918 surrounded by lots of people snapping pics.

This is a really a pretty spectacular work. Everywhere you look is a performance focal point and that coupled with the sound, and putting my hand over the rear deck feeling the exhaust spitting out was multiple sensory overload.

I'm embarrassed to admit but until yesterday I didn't even know what a 918 was or it even existed. I've owned Porsche's since the '80's and have had 2 in the garage and licensed going on 15 years, but I don't study them or read about them. During my dry periods when wishing, waiting or looking I'd get Excellence or 911 and read each issue from cover to cover to get my P fix. Ownership satisfies my needs on all accounts.

Yep, it's quite a car! Too bad it isn't 150K so I could rationalize buying it.
