968 Vanity...
#1

Ok, I have been wondering about this for some time now...

Whenever I drive "in town" past shops with windows, I can't help glancing sideways to see the 968 reflection in the windows. Puts a smirk on my face everytime.

Does anyone else suffer from what one of my daughters calls: "968 vanity"?

LOL. I use to make frequent trips to the garage at night just to look at it. Some nights, i'd sit in it to <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.png" class="smilie" alt="" />

" Hi, my name is Dan and I"m a 968aholic " Yes, I also look at the car's reflection in shop windows and admire it. Important to note I did not do that with my Maserati and I was a lot younger then..

I love the reflection I see when I get behind one of those big, oval-shaped, fuel trucks with the big silver rear. It's a thing of beauty!

Since I'm always the one driving it, I can't see what my car looks like on the road. I let my brother drive it once so I could check if the car's stance looked right in motion (this was after an alignment and ride height adjustment).



I'm guilty of checking the car's reflection in store windows while driving too. There's just something about seeing a car in motion that isn't captured in seeing it parked.

Absolutely... I had a fellow ask if it was "the new baby ferrari" at the gas station... he thought the Prancing Horse was a trademark of Ferrari!



It took a while to explain to him, but I think he finally got it... until he said "Well, Porsche sure has a nice new car to sell!"



I gave up, smiled, and purred away!

Phew! Glad to find out that I am "normal" (at least in the 968 world!)!

I had my son help me pick up my 968 once, and I could not resist taking this with my iPhone as he sped past...

I'm in the 12 step program as well. During the winter months I have been know to dissappear into the garage to stare at the car and I may even have been caught talking to her. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wub.png" class="smilie" alt="" />

Mine is fairly new (to me) and I make extra trips to the garage just to look at it. Even though it is a novel thing now, I just don't see that behavior changing.

When I park mine and am walking away, I generally look back, "just to make sure I didn't leave the lights on".

Time for group therapy to deal with this obsession ? Aw, hell no ! , if you ask me it's the rest of the Non-968 drivers out there that need therapy to come to terms with what they're missing not owning this car .

So guilty of this. At work I used to park my car in front of a mirrored office building. Admired the reflection every single time.
