47. My first Porsche will be here next week (992 GTS). I've been in love with 911's since I was 10 (Dad had a 930 Turbo). Always told myself I would own one someday. That day is coming soon
43 here. Still have a 997 C2S I purchased 11 years ago. After much debate bought a 992 C2 about a year ago. Love them both for different reasons. When I’m driving one, my wife is driving the other one. Don’t know what’s next but looking forward to many more 911’s in the future! Have been looking at 964s a lot lately 😂
I bought my first Porsche at 17. It was a 12 year old, 1960, Fjord Green, 356, Cabriolet, with the engine in a basket. I paid $400 for it. I've had several Porsche's since then. Luckily at my age, I can still afford a Porsche now, just like I did then. What with inflation over the years it seems like the "cost" of a Porsche has remained fairly consistent. I'd guess that a used Porsche with a blown engine today, might well sell for something in the neighborhood of the $2,988.82 that, that $400 is worth today.
I bought my 2006 997 in 2007 at age 37, drove it as my daily for 17 years, and then last year at 53 I bought my 2024 Carrera T that delivered this past January. I kept the 997 of course.
