Porsche & I!

God Bless Professor Ferdinand, he was a genius young lad
He made the first Mercedes and created the VW brand
He taught every driver the joy of driving cars
So sleek and powerful rightly fit for racing stars!
I’ve Driven a Porsche! Hallelujah! I’ve Driven a Porsche! Amen!
I’ve Driven a Porsche! Hallelujah!
I’ve Driven a Porsche! Ameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenn!


Oh yes!
I drove the Boxter last night! For full 30 minutes!
Hiba was the lucky passenger!

Ok let me start from the beginning!

I arrived before the rest of the family to the showroom. As the salesman I have the appointment with was busy, I took another tour around. Then I saw the red Carrera GT! Like a magnet I was attracted to it. It just arrived in the showroom, and unfortunately it was locked. I went around it and around it, touched it everywhere, peeked inside without shame and after few minutes I noticed that everyone else was looking at me!! I think they are not used to women in Abaya showing affection in public!!!

The salesperson then took me to the Boxter, put the key into the ignition (which weirdly was to the left of the steering wheel) and started the car and then told me I have half an hour if I like! I called up Hiba who was in the showroom and she jumped to the car.

After making a show of moving the seats and mirrors, I revved the engine and started my journey. After leaving the lot, Hiba asked if the car is marked by anyway to show that it’s not mine. I said nope. So she props herself up and we act that we are the cool owners of the Porsche.

I loved driving the car. It’s very powerful. I kept revving the engine every couple of minutes. I went home, called my sisters to come down, and they all sat in it for awhile. I know, we are a funny bunch! I then drove off, firing up the engine. My grandma was able to hear me from 100 meters away. And my grandma can’t hear properly!

Asif called me as I just started the drive. I think he went deaf with my exhilarated shouting!! I called my brother to show off a bit. After calling me few names, he thanked Allah for having sisters who shared his love for cars!!

Returning the Boxter, we got stuck in traffic and I reached the showroom with a splitting headache. The engine roar vibrated my brain in my skull. The soft top also let every noise from outside in, increasing the cerebral throb! Once I gave back the keys, I told the salesman, I have a headache! The soft top is useless! I need a hardtop! Lets discuss the Cayman S!

LOL

Well, after discussing the Cayman S, I’ve decided to test drive it. (This is getting better and better every second!) The test drive will be on the 17th as I couldn’t fit it in my busy schedule (LOL) before the motor show starting next week where the salesman will be for the duration!

Maybe I’ll arrange to test drive the Carrera 911 on the 25th and the new Carrera GT (AED 1.5 Million!) on New Years Eve!

Oh…life is so beautiful when you have a beautiful car in your life!!!




Till my next test drive…

I’ve Driven a Porsche! Hallelujah!
I’ve Driven a Porsche! Amen!
I’ve Driven a Porsche! Hallelujah!
I’ve Driven a Porsche! Ameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenn!
