Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I cannot relate. She doesn't like manual transmission and I told her that there will be no eating/drinking or talking on the phone. Must sit back and enjoy the sound of the engine.
No. She doesn't drive a manual. Says "why do you want to do all that shifting and how do you know when to do it?" She loves her Mini Cooper and drives it like a race car! But ohhhh she loves riding around in the Porsche. She's happy, I'm happy. Happy wife=happy life.
I told all my friends and colleagues that I bought a Porsche.
They don't believe me because they haven't seen it yet. Should I just go buy an old 944 or Boxster or something? Just so I can show up in the correct make of car?
My wife says my car is just a "engine with a great stereo". She thinks the ride is crappy, its hard to get in and out of, and its noisy.
But if she is meeting friends for lunch its, "Honey...can I take your car?"
Nope. She likes to joke around the kid's friends by pointing to the silver one and saying "that's his" and then pointing to the blue one with a big smile and saying "and this one is mine". My wife drives stick and actually prefers it - bagged the Lexus RX for a (gasp) Suzuki SX4 because it is fun to drive.
Now, I do sincerely offer for her to drive one but she always declines and says she wouldn't be able to tolerate the post drive inspection. She does however really enjoy riding shotgun in the C4S. Yep - I am sort of lucky.
After fifteen plus years of Porsche ownership, my wife had still never driven any of them because they were all manuals. So, we finally decided to get a 996 Tiptronic "for her" and I still have a manual of my own. So now she can take "her" car when she wants and I can drive it when she doesn't.
When she first drove her car a few months back, she became very enthusiastic about it and started realizing what she had been missing all those years. I very much enjoy seeing her excited about driving a Porsche.
First time see took the turbo to work, she took a friend to lunch and opened it up for a bit...scared the passenger to death when the boost hit. She is quite good with a stick.
