31 now, acquired my 993 in 1998. Only other car I've owned, which I still do, is my 1987 Jetta GLI which I acquired on my 16th bday.

Congratulations anyway. I remember being 18 and never thinking I would make it to 30 much less 40...

Marcus, did you make it to TWS this weekend? I looked for you but never did see you.

I think the owners on this forum are quite younger than the ones I saw on the streets and may be that explains all the mods

I am 42, by the way.

Silly cars??

I beat all the young Porsche drivers at the autocross on Sunday.

The first sports car I ever rode in was a buddy's '56 Speedster in college. You could see the snow going by through the holes in the floor. Towed my MG Midget when I moved to California from Connecticut in 1966. Drove a 1960 Morris Mini with a 1275 to work for years. Finally got into Porsches in 1993. Sure glad I did. Great group of people - we have made a lot of friends in the Porsche community.

Greg-LOL. Thanks for the words. People are often surprised when I tell them my age.

It is what it is.

Vinny '98 3.8 C2S

Me and my Porsche will turn 50 within a couple of months. I'll be 50 yrs. young and the P-car w/have 50K miles. Hopefully, and pretty likely, it will turn 50K on the track.

Unlike me, the car keeps looking better with age!

52! Have owned a 911 since 1980. Have had a 77 911 S, a 78 911SC, an 81 SC, a 91 964 and my favorite the current 95 C2. Mick

Nol, 95 993 C4

38, pulled the trigger on the 993 at 36. Came close to a high mileage SC at 32 but didn't have the bottle (checkbook?) or knowledge to buy wise.

Time for a confession: at 16 I actually prefered the smooth curves of the 928 over the then SC with the rubber bumpers. Something to do with a poster of an early S model over the door of the local newsagent. Didn't see many P-cars in the flesh in our neck of the woods those days. Driving 911's (3.2, 964 and 993) and a trio of 928 S4's during the "hunt" sealed the choice though. There really is no substitute....

Just turned 38 and got the 993 at 36. I bought my 3.2 Sport when I was 29.

Cheers,

Hi Surj, I hate to admit that at the tender age of 17 I had a Capri 2.0S followed by a 1275GT and an XR2! Things then got a lot better with a 325i.
