44, but I don't feel a day over 43.
I just got my first p-car a couple of months ago.

Bought my first Porsche for my 43 birthday way back in November. I figured at this age I would only be able to buy one so it might as well be the correct one, right? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
Before this I have been driving 7 different Audis since 1986, some heavily modified some not.

My dad got me hooked in sports cars as a very young 4 year old with a 63 vette, 67 vette, 71 911t, and then a 74 911 (silver, red leather). He then moved in BMWs. Get this, they were all company cars.
When I pulled up in front of his place the day I bought mine, the first thing he said (from 30 feet away) was "is it red leather? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

I think I'll go out and give her a hug now.

I'm 34 now...bought the 993 a year ago. I bought my first Porsche, a 74 911S Targa, at 24. I too am surprised at how young many of us are. I just assumed I was one of the youngest ones here.

34 and feeling like 84 after a night like tonight (basketball). Grew up with German cars in a German Midwest family. It was tough growing up in Lansing with all the auto workers and unions..my dad and grandpa had to hide the cars!

Had my first P-car at 28 (97 boxster) and have had 4 since then. Drove behind a 993 S all the way to work this morning and am really missing my C4S! Sure I will get back into the 993 fold soon. For now it just my Club Sport.
