GT4 - 50th Bday gift (to myself) last year. Love the car so far and likely even more when Soul valved rear section arrives in a few weeks!
HBD @GTS-Jim by the way. Hope I can still get in and out of LWBS when I hit 70!
Cheers!

Jet Black 3.8 Spyder
These mid engine cars are very cool. That’s putting them up against 356/911 stable mates.
All us older dudes will tell you....enjoy the ride it’s shorter than you think. 🏁😁

If you own a 718 GTS 4.0/GT4/Spyder/25th Anniversary or awaiting delivery can you share how old are you?
I'm wondering what the average age of a 718 4.0 driver is.
I've made the order as a 30th birthday present for myself, I've worked 14 years (pretty much entirety of my 20s was work) and I thought if not now then when?
Apologies if this was discussed already
edit: my pick was a boxster gts 4.0

The idea of owning a Porsche, let alone 2, wasn't even on my radar. I am now 55.

I suspect a lot has to do with your other financial obligations. I always owned nice cars but a $100k+ pure toy wasn't until we had funded 4 kids for private school and college and paid off our 2 homes.
I despise debt. My first 2 Porsches were both Cayennes. An S and then GTS, so they served my needs as kid mobiles too.

GT4 at essentially 39. It was my goal to get a GT3 by 40... this is close enough. Ever since I saw the 911 RSRs live at Le Mans in 2017 I wanted a GT3 so bad. Didn't think I would ever get a Porsche in my lifetime let alone a GT.
I don't think I would have gotten either honestly if the rona never happened...

When I was 30 years old I was in my second year of residency as an Anesthesiologist. I was earning $34,000/yr and driving a Honda Prelude. I remember looking at an Audi A4 and thinking "someday".
