After 20 years of ownership and adding up receipts that total over $17.000 AND you still get a thrill every time you drive it.

When you already have one (in my case...) 2 or 3 or more 928's but you keep checking the 928's adverts every day more then once a day looking for a good deal....

When other owners ask you to give workshops about/on their cars to them and others and pay you for it!

when you look at modern 911s and see the shark DNA in the body lines, especially in the rear.

Very good point! How about...

When you bring a hockey puck and latex gloves with you for yearly inspection, you refuse to allow the car out of your sight during the process, and you will drive to another inspection station if they insist on doing the inspection 'behind the curtain.'

My '91 has no dimples in the underside structure.

When your black 928 S4 hurts your girlfriend.... she opens the passengers door and it comes back at her hard and bruises her legs and hands......when she trips out of the car and falls on her face........
The next phase is that she starts calling your car names......like the Black Bitch.......and doesn't want to ride in it anymore.
And that's a fact.......it happened to me!
