1) 18
2) 2 years
3) Daily, weekend, track- all of the above
4) Just dumped about $600 over the past 6 months into a new interior (leather-black carpet-Alpine speakers), $175 on track wheels today, and maybe $1k over the past few years to make it mechanically reliable. Add a P9201 to the tab as well. Numerous other graduation/Christmas gifts from family, like a new nose panel, wiper switch and pump, etc. Then I'll be getting new gas line parts, maybe new halfshafts, and hopefully settling down for awhile.
5) Nothing.

Daily driver even when I dont have to drive!!!
Original cost $AUD11500 + approx $5k on cosmetics and service. Car is mechanically perfect, electrics so-so!
No other cars in my name although there are 3 more parked at my residence.
Slightly O.T.: I went to K-mart today [yeah! I know big deal!] As i was stuck behind an SUV waiting for the pedestrians to clear I head a bunch of kids on the balcony screaming 'Hey! Look at this! It's a Porsche!'
Just ignored them and looked cool!
These cars are really, really rare around here.

how long have you had the car? 1 day - got it yesterday
is it a daily driver, casual driver, track, etc. - right now I live 7 minutes walk from work, so it is fun car, but i move in oct, and then it will be a daily driver.
how much money have you spent in restorations, upgrades? - only initial price, till i take it in this week and the reg. stuff done.(tune up, align, etc..)
what other kinds of car do you have? - company car (that my wife drives the kids around in) ford escape (ahhh isn't that scarry), our VW Passat GLX is in storage in the states.
