I choose 10-15, did not notice the "forever young" option, but you get the idea.

I still remember my dads friend started buying used 928's he would sell out of his body shop. I remember all of them were non-spoiler 78-82 styles. This was around 1985 or so, making me about 8. My father was looking for a 911SC for the longest time. He convinced my father to drive one of the 928's, he never looked at another 911 again.

10-15 sounds about right, espesially with all the fussing and stuff that goes on on this board...!

I still play with action figures and video games so I had to go 10-15. Thats the age I was when my shark was brand new and I saw it for the first time in a magazine whooping as next to the Countach.

I play with action figures too, but only with my little kids. But I enjoy it... I made the Joker fall from a great height into a dump truck just last night.

I would say early 20's - I don't act like a teenager but everytime I am driving and I leave a 5.0 Mustang behind. I lose 20 years.....

I was 5 when my shark was new. The first time I saw one was when I was about 12. A friend's father (NY stock broker) had a brand new Guards Red S4. I saw it and just started drooling. I had no idea what it was, so I looked at the back and said "92854, I thought Porsches had 3 number names." When I went with another friend's family to the Rover dealer to pick up their other Rover, I looked at the Porsches on the other side of the lot and realized it was a 928S4 not 92854. There was a gunmetal grey GT with black interior next to the S4. That's the day I decided I would own one some day. I don't have a grey/black GT yet, but an 84 Euro S was second on my list.
