Assuming you own some form of the 944 line, the day your Porsche rolled out of the dealer's lot, how old were you and what were you doing?
Mine:
August, 1983 944.
I was 15, sophomore in High School. Saw the 944 in a fold out ad in TIME magazine the year before and was mesmerized by it's flares.
August, 1990 944S2 cabriolet.
I was 22, going to college. That summer I visited the Ferrari museum in Maranello, Italy. Last thing I imagined was that I would ever own a Porsche.
August, 1991 951 cabriolet
This car was sold new in 1992, when I was 24. It was the Summer Olympics in Barcelona and my daily driver was a 75 cc Honda Scooter.

This sounds just like:
Hi, my name is Tommy and I'm a boostaholic
anyway, it was back 1990, I went to the army, I was 19 and I drove a Seat Ibiza 1,5 GLX System Porsche !
And I never even dreamed of having the real thing..

1987 951 - I was 20, in College, probably dreaming of someday owning a Porsche
1991 964 - I was 28 still dreaming of owing a Porsche someday![Big Grin](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
1997 993 - I was 30 all dreams ended. I was finally the owner of a sweet machine... I drove the heck out of these cars (initially a Guards Red that I later changed for a Vesuvius... boy do I miss that car...)
The rest, as they say, is history....

1984 944
I was 23 and in my last year of a 3 year sabatical from college. God how I lusted after a 944 from the very first photo I ever saw of one. They still stir me. I thought a number of times of buying a used one, but for one reason or another never did.
Now I own one. My first Porsche is also going to be my first race car. And now I'm thinking of getting a road version. Well, once my other car projects are done.

All these kids and thier Porsches. 2 years old..... damn.
I was 18 when my 951 was born. I was reading every issue of Road and Track I could just to drool over these cars.
I remember being in the high school cafeteria debating that the 951 was a better car than the 911 according to the newest magazine.
That was 1987.
