I would never walk into a luxury car dealership unless I could easily write a check for the car I was interested in. Bought my first BMW at 49 and just bought my first Porsche at 59 a 2015 Macan S.

As they say, "the more you make, the more you spend" and what a better place to spend it on, your first Porsche. Nice story.

Thought I would bring back this old thread since there's quite a few new first time Pcar owners.

2002 (996) Targa in... Lapis Blue, hence my handle on this forum.

Here's a pic of me driving it in summer 2004 at a track day in Michigan (either Grattan or Gingerman, can't remember which one this pic was from).

Had to work 3 jobs to afford it but was willing to eat top ramen and wear hanes t shirts for 2 years to even it out.

Best life choice I ever made.
