Or do you also think it's slightly cool when you happen to look at the clock at exactly 9:11?

Yes, to the first part! Just kidding! To be honest I can recall seeing 9:11 on the P-car clock only once in almost three years of ownership. No, I don't think you are a dork. It is cool when you see 9:11 on the clock.... any clock.

LOL it happens to me a lot On the cable box, in the car, and last night I was in a grocery store and the total at the cashiers was $9.11 I couldn't help but laugh

Maybe I'm the odd one, but I don't refer to my car as a 911. I always call it a 996. When people ask what kind of car I have, I almost always say 996. Then they say what is that. And I have to clarify. -td

Yep, you're a dork.
POST 8Original post
I have to admit to doing exactly what you've described. Only my wife has the nerve to tell me I'm a dork (which I depend on her to do). Does anyone wonder what happens after the 999 has been introduced? I'll bet somebody on this list already knows the official answer.

Most people I know (non car enthusiasts of course) have really no idea what a 996 is. I usually say I drive a small German car.

I'll see your dorkitude and raise you one: One of my favourite radio stations in Toronto is JazzFM, which is at 91.1. I generally don't head to the office until after rush hour has calmed down, so I will routinely look down at my dash and see 9:11 on the clock and 91.1 on the radio. And be amused by this.
POST 11Original post
Don't know if you are, but I love the thread title!
POST 12Original post
I am also guilty, as recently as today... For me it was always 9:11 or 9:44 since I used to have one of those a while back - glad I am not the only one!

...and THEN they call you a dork. I only refer to my 996 as "the German one" to the few people that even know I own it and only to differentiate it from one of "the Japanese ones" I also own. Between people calling my Miata gay and cow-orkers worrying about what I make when they know I have a Porsche (boss drives a Gran Prix...), it's my little secret.

Yea, a bit on the dork side. I think, crap I'm way late.
POST 15Original post
I'm a dork too! It happens all the time, 9-1-1- pops up, clocks, scoreboards, cash registers, timers, everywhere.

Porsche calls it a 911, so I do, too, with 'civilians'. To me, the series number is something only dorks like us care about.
POST 17Original post
9:11 I have never thought of that. Perhaps because the original 911 was so many years ago and ever since 964 iteration, I have always thought about them by Porsche job numbers. I hate the number confusion with the name of the car so I call mine the green car or the carrera.
POST 18Original post
My first thought whenver I see 9:11 or 9:44 - "It's time to buy a Porsche." My wife can tell you I have said it out loud hundreds of times.
POST 19Original post
King dork here...I've had this reaction to seeing this time on the clock since I was about 12...no joke...same thing at 9:12, 9:14, 9:24, 9:44. I can't help but point it out to my wife when I happen to glance at the time and it shows one of these magical (at least to me) numbers. Off the topic a bit, but as long as we are talking about realizing how dorky we are, I had another such moment today, as I glanced at my reflection in the elevator heading to a court hearing, and noticed no less than two pens and two highlighers in my shirt pocket. Although it looked ridicuolous, I quickly realized I didn't care, and justified overloading my pocket with pens by convincing myself I was in fact only being prudent (you know, just in case 3 of the four dried up at the same time). Yes, I'm a dork.
