as long as you don't have the itch to try different women, then your wife will have no problem with you.

1) The first car was bought in 04 at the launch . At that time xenon light theft in my area was horrible . My 02 996 lights were taken and my entire front end torn apart to get them . The 05 997S faced the rear lights being unscrewed as well as the little light above the licence plate more times than i could count . It became so stresful that i sold the car , leased a BMW 330i as a more low key car and after 18 months went back to Porsche .

2) The second car I kept only 5 months . I got bitten by the Turbo.

The Turbo I decided NOT to make a daily driver . It's my first Porsche garage queen.
