I’m 38 and it’s not easy to get in and out of LOL.

 

This is why I do squats twice a week. Medium weight. 4 sets of 12 reps.

 

To help get in and out of the 911 or to build a muscular Azzzzz? Lmaooo

I have a hard time because I have the GT3 RS side skirts which I try to avoid stepping on when getting out. I need to do yoga or something.

 

Sorry to hear that, I guess I am fortunate that I can still get in and out of Lotus's and 4C"s. (my friend taught me yoga a few years back). If you get a chance check out the 2021 MB E53 coupe. I just helped someone order one, and my assistant drives a 2020. When tuned and in the right hands they can be a blast. The 2021 is an even better car.

 

Us old guys (or at least this old guy) may have lost a lot over the years, (my single malt go to is Dalmore 25), but we have gained things in our lives experiences. I have spent all of my adult life around cars (racing them, building them, designing them, inventing things for them I have over 120 patents), and as many people have pointed out to me. I have forgotten what I have forgotten about them. Over the years I have interacted with many car people (some with knowledge some wanted to learn). I tend to make people into car people, my neighbor that I met 7 years ago had own maybe 4 cars in his life, since getting to know me he has bout 7 cars including his first Ferrari. I don't feel emotions so cars are machines to me, and each one I own serves a particular purpose for the time I own it, including ones that test my skill every time I get be the wheel. I am not the driver I once was, but I was once one of those that could make a car dance (that is what a pit boss once told me and very long time ago), so maybe I am still better than most. I will soon hit 500 cars owned and over the years I have learned to find things to like in a Triumph Spitfire as well as a Ferrari Enzo, or a Carrera GT. There are many reasons people choose the car they do, for some it is the pure joy of driving it, for others the way it looks, or the way they look to others, or in this case, what I can be comfortable in. Good luck OP

 

Thanks for sharing, Fred, and good luck with your next car adventure. And thank you to all the “seasoned” Porsche owners as I’ve learned so much from you and your wisdom and experiences...passion has no age...

 

A good friend of mine likes to say: "Growing old isn't for pussies". It's the ultimate equalizer in life.

I'm probably a bit behind you in years, but already with bad knees from mountain biking. I ponder the day it will just be too much to climb in / out of these low riding cars. A big reason why my father had to sell his 355GTS was both my parents not having fun getting in / out of it anymore. Granted, there's no graceful way to get out of one of those, add in bad hips, knees...

Thank you for sharing, good luck on your next adventure. Audi makes some very nice, fast cars that are a bit easier to live with (S5 on my xmas list).
