I'm 44 - my last porker was a 1989 928GT and the 930 seemed a much better prospect for track days. Still not sure if this was the right move :-)

GOOD LAWD there are some old geesers on this board!!!!!!! Can some of you guys still get in & out of these cars???

I was 22 & fresh out of college when #1 came along - '99 Boxster (still have her with nearly 160k on the clock!!!) (Never going to Sell!!!!)

27 y/o - '76 911s I bought with my cheating soon-to-be fiancee's wedding ring stash (BEST thing I ever did for myself!!! Her face was PRICELESS) (SOLD)

28 y/o - '88 930 I promised to myself when I began lawshool, found while studying for the bar, negotiated for when they announced that my bar results WERE NOT lost in Katrina, and picked up in -ummm- shall we say an altered state the night I got sworn in!!! (Will NEVER SELL)

29 y/o - Bought, drove, and sold my '83 Euro 944.

I am counting down the days until my 30th B-Day....

Waited until I was 36. I've mainly had motorcycles up until now, but I'm no longer interested in being a human missle. Nothing beats a bike in speed, but Porsche's are pretty damn close in a lot of respects, and the 930 offers the same expansive view that makes touring fun. Lots of windows all around you. Clear view of the surrounding landscape.

Perfect for fall.

39. I've had the 930, my first Porsche, for about 4 years. I've wanted a Porsche since I can remember so I doubt this will be my last. My next one will probably be water cooled and get driven daily.

33, bought the 930 (my first Pcar) when I was 28. Was turned onto them in the mid '80s when my uncle took me to his garage to show me his new cars. Opened up and he had two of the first three slant nose 930s in the country sitting in there. A black vert and a red coupe. (a third white one went to Car and Driver, or so the legend goes) Anyway, we went out in that red coupe and since then I knew it was the only sports car for me. Just like most on this board!

39 years old . When I saw/read about the first 930's to hit the U.S. shores in 1976 I told my younger brother I was going to own one some day. I was 9 or 10 years old at the time and as the years went by, I never waivered from what car I wanted. 30 years later I bought one.

I will ALWAYS own at least one 930 from this day forward.
