My name is Alan and I'm an addict
 

My 17th Porsche is on it's way over. It's a '11 S with sport exhaust, sport chrono, sport shifter, SPASM, adaptive seats etc, basalt over nat. brown leather. I'm replacing a '09 S which has all the same features (white car, no sport exhaust) and I'm still as excited as heck. I loved the '09, which in turn had replaced a '07 turbo (which I didn't love). Where do I get help?

P.S. nearly went to the dark side and bought a V10R8 but addicts have their medicine of choice, I guess.

WOW. Have you ever thought of keeping any of them? With 16 under your belt and a 17th on the way it sounds like you may have had some of the greats along the way.

Congrats, sounds like a nice car. I suspect that this one will be short lived, as there is a model change coming very soon.

Enjoy, and post some pictures when it arrives.

17?! I'm no doctor but i think a little Ritalin may help. At least no one can accuse you of not being passionate about the brand. Maybe its that new car smell and uphoria. Congrats and enjoy. ;)

Very cool, they get better with each year under their belt ;)

What was it about the Turbo you didn't like?... The weight?

I missed the flat six wail, the lightness (relative) of the S and the steering finesse of the rwd cars. Turbo's are great cars, and each to their own.

Umm, should I tell you about the Speedster that I restored with a buddy and then sold for 9K in the late 60's. Probably not, I'm still kicking myself

All valid points, make sure to post up pictures when she arrives. Congrats!

Congrats, and pictures!

Complete list and thought on each.

hilarious

+1. The hardest part is admitting you have a problem...

Buying these cars is a voluntary behavior . A dried up wallet is a fast cure .

However --along the way you may be tempted to buy a used porsche, or a Cayman , or return to an older porsche (costs less). You may even rationalize a Cayenne for the wife -- after all it's not for you .

In the end you'll hit bottom -- no money --no Porsches -- and at best reading 6speedonline (unless you get banned).

You can always take that one last Porsche buying "gottahaveit" leap -the final hurrah -- the Gt2RS!!!!
You can even apply for credit , mortgage the house. and play the lottery .. and dream of a garage filled with Porsches.

If all else fails you'll always have the memories. It's the good old days when buying porsches and driving them was not just a way of life .. it was a major joy in life.

PS --, Best wishes with the 17th Porsche!!!!

Well, what you say is true, but fortunately my financial situation allows me to pursue my addiction. Maybe I'm like the Keith Richards of 6 speedonline. :)

Congrats.. love to hear the difference between the sport exhaust and the regular one. When I was in a cab this weekend I could not believe how aggressive of a sound it was ... this was without the Sport Exhaust.

Curious, why replace an 09c2s with an 11c2s? I didn't think there were many differences. Are you getting the GTS model?

Regardless, best of luck with the new ride!
