Visualize a virtual Porsche in your driveway

One thing most of these books have in common is the technique of creative visualization, a kind of ‘if you build it, they will come’ approach. Thanks to the modern wonders of the Internet and the imagination of Porsche, owning one of Stuttgart’s finest is now a step closer.

Using the tagline: I can, Porsche has created a mini-site where you are able to insert an image of your desired vehicle (Cayman, Cayenne, 911 or Boxster) into a picture of your driveway. Since I live in an apartment block, I don’t have a driveway, but here’s what a 911 would look like in my parking spot. I’m thinking of using it as the wallpaper on my computer.

Having a 911 would make me a better person; I’ll no longer covet my neighbor’s Porsche. If the power of the mind is anything like the power of this car, I’ll be an enlightened soul in no time. Maybe I could speed up the process by chanting too. Here we go: nam myoho renge Porsche, nam myoho renge Porsche...
