Why “Goes To Eleven”?

1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Type 964 named “Goes2XI”

Are you familiar with the movie This Is Spinal Tap?

Yes? Then you get the joke.

No? ‘Spinal Tap’ is a “rockumentary” comedy about a fictitious British band on a comeback tour. The band members are absurd caricatures. Nigel Tufnel is the daft lead guitar player who shows off his custom amplifier that goes past volume level 10 to level 11 because, “Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. Eleven. Exactly. One louder.”

I named my 1991 Porsche 911 “Goes2XI” as it suits the mechanical and mystical superiority that is the Porsche 911. But mostly because it’s funny and makes people smile.
