Default Obsessive compulsive Z owner disorder?

Is there such thing like that? because if there is, I certainly have it!!

I mean, some times I can't even work, I catch myself daydreaming about my Z, and by the time I noticed, I've been doing that for like 1 1/2 hours. Then I think "Damn! I want to get out of the office and drive!". By the time is time to get out of work, I literally run down the stairs, sometimes I see other people's faces probably wondering "whats going on?". Then I take the longest way home. When I get home, I look for an excuse to "go somewhere", and if there's no excuse to go out, then I either was the car, or just get in it, and seat there.

The next day, same thing ever since I bought it.

My girlfriend doesn't like this!

Does anyone has this same thing with the car, or should I go to a psychiatrist?

Haha, maybe you do, judging by your signature and how you wash your car 4x a week! anyway, driving the Z always brightens up my day. I'm actually feeling pretty miserable right now (I'm sick) and when I woke up this morning to drag myself to work, the only thing I was really looking forward to was driving my Z!

Yeah, I drive my wife crazy about the Z sometimes. I'm always talking about the next mod I want to do or surfing the web looking at mods. I'm already introducing the idea of a 997 911 S in the future.

Brother, It's good to know I'm not alone......

I find myself getting out of bed at 2am, to detail my car..... my current gf thinks I'm just as nuts as ""Jack N"" in ""As good as it gets"!!!! Thats probably not a good thing

Yeah, mine's not a daily driver so I drive it to work only on Friday when the lot is half empty (no door dings). On Thursdays I look forward to driving to work the next day - on Friday the boss often (occassionally) lets us leave early ... take the long way home!

No!!!! After a long day of talking to a bunch of non-tech savvy customers, I need to have my 20 min Z commute home. Makes me feel as if those customer are geniuses after a spirited drive.
