Default How many owners are "young"

I guess I'm pretty young considering i'm 17. A lot of parents wonder what the hell i'm doing driving around a Porsche, but really they arent that expensive, especially if you do their own maintenence. So are there any other teenage owners? Or are you all middle aged men that cant afford 911's? jk jk

I'm 36. If I ran into an 18 year old version of myself I could kick his ***!

I could have a 911 but why go that slow!

I"ve had a 924 which I sold and now I"m 21 and bought the 944 right before my birthday.

nothing to brag about, most of those ricers with honda civics paid way more than I did. But now I'm going to be constantly broke with maintenance and all.
