gotta love the young. The innocence of always thinking they're the first or only ones doing something.

I bought my '87 944 when I was 19. I'm 21 now and just bought my '86 951. I have been fortunate enough to purchase, maintain, insure, and mod both with my own checkbook.

I plan on getting Megasquirt installed this winter and get it tuned and running N/A. Then in the spring/summer get a 951 exhaust and intake manifold and intercooler etc. Then just retune for boost.

I'm turning 23 years young this month, and have had my red 951 since I was 20 (bought two and a half years ago). I recently purchased a second project 951 last month, but that will be on the road and in someone elses hands fairly quickly. The Porsche has always been the weekend toy, and I've cycled through daily drivers like old socks. I've had a recent string of circa 1980's BMWs that are fun to tool around in.

my first one was bought at 21. I will soon be 27 and I have had five other 944's.
Always kept the first one!

Bought my 87 944 when I was 19 which has been a faithful daily driver since. Bought the Turbo S at 23. Now I'm 27.

Middle aged men that cant afford a 911? I'd rather have a 951 tbh. Anways, Im 18, i've owned the 944 for 3 years, been running for 1 year. The other two were dedicated to saving money and working on it.

I'm 15 and just bought my first 944 NA. I don't have it at my house right now, but I already bought it and have the title. I'm probably going to pick it up this weekend or next. And I didn't pay for it by myself.
