I remember back in the day spotting a Porsche on the road was to be celebrated. A slack jaw, some drool, that pang of jealousy... the odd erection or two.
Now I see them all the time. But not the kinds of Porsches that garner the above actions. Panameras. Cayennes. More Panameras.
For the love of all that's holy, I was between TWO Panameras at a stoplight today. In sub-zero temperatures. With fresh snow blowing across the roads. In my beater Camry.
I was behind the black one for quite awhile, then a tan one that I could not capture on my dashcam snuck up behind us at a light, and got into the left turn lane as the black one was on my right. I was in a Panamera sandwich. (Is there a German equivalent of a sandwich? DAS HOAGIE? I dunno)
Don't you people have winter beaters?

Oh.
Well it's still not fair.
I want to see REAL Porsches. 911s. Caymans. Boxsters. Even the off 924/944/928/914 would be appreciated more than these bloated hunks of normality.
Seriously. Two, in one day, AT THE SAME INTERSECTION?
Funny license plate though.
Porsche Panameras are like the Camrys of rich people
