Great thread and follow-up posts. I can relate to every one of them including the victoria secret one.
I'll add 5 more..
1) when you track the satellite images on google maps of your final destination well ahead of time to ensure that there is no loose gravel/dirt road.
2) when you get excited after your wife tells you that she forgot to buy an item or two from the grocery store earlier that day when she went out shopping
3) when patients tell you: "I've always wondered how someone would choose to specialize in such a dirty field (I'm a Gastroenterologist) .... now I know the answer".
4) when all the young boys who work in Shell gas station ask everyone around you if they would want their windshield cleaned with their courtesy squeegies and don't even bother coming anywhere close to you.
5) When your wife starts to type the alphabet P in her computer...automatically porsche usa is suggested.

-When your local Porsche Sales Manager are considered friends and you call and text more than your previous friendships!
-when I tell my wife I'm leaving the house on the weekend to see Peter.
Peter is my dealer 45 minutes away.

these are so great, I especially love the;
when you try to start every car with the key to the left of the wheel, lol, happens all the time.
when you go to the Porsche dealer just to hang out, lol.
when you park the car and just stare as your walking away.
BTW, this thread is great because now I can show my wife just how normal I really am, hahaha

You know you are a 997 driver...
....when after a drive, when your face is sore from constantly grinning.
....when you see a distant corner, and start panting like a dog.
....when you intentionally get the back end out (on a secluded road at 5AM on a Sunday morning while on your way to meet complete strangers for coffee whom have a common P-car interest and suggested that a twisty undulating road in scenic horse country was just repaved.)
Great Thread. +1 on most of the comments above.

1. You can spell Stuttgart.
2. You've had more than one long conversation about side markers.
3. You almost hurt your neck looking for the tach in any other car.
4. You can navigate blindfolded from the Suncoast home page to its .1 or .2 offerings.
5. You have nothing but nice things to say about BMWs or MBs, until its a comparo.
6. You've paid more than one hundred thousand dollars for a car without power seats.
7. You may be a caricature of yourself, but you don't care.
8. You know your cup holder just supports one 8.4 oz. can of Red Bull before it starts to sag.

Where is this road you speak of? After the longest 2 months in history I'll be getting my car back and it could use a good stretch of the legs. Thanks!

When you cant believe how cool it is that you accidentally happened to look at your odometer and it read 9111. But you cant post it on Facebook because they wouldn't understand so you post it on 6speed instead.
When your wife skips working out her core at the gym because she got a workout trying to keep her body straight in the passenger seat on the way there.
You suddenly have time to drink half of your TO GO coffee before getting in the car because you know a full cup would be a disaster to your PCM.

....when you have to attend an event in a place you are not familiar with and you are compelled to scope out the place by driving a day(s) before the event to find a best place to park your baby. If the place is in a bad neighborhood you make a decision to use your other car instead.
