Post OT: Ages of 993 owners

Just out of curiosity, I noticed many of my friends my age do not drive Porsches, preferring to go the BMW/Audi/Mustang/rice rocket route. All the people I know that drive 993's seem alot older than me. Just curious to find out what are the ages of other owners of 993.

By the way I'm 30.

Im 31. Bought my car 1 year and 1/2 ago. And no most of my friends don't drive P-cars. Mostly SUV's or Maxima's, Lexus,Honda cars like that. This is our 3rd car our other cars are similar to our friends. My wife has a new Galant and I drive a 2000 Explorer to work and back.

Mid/late thirties...

But started owning/driving Porsche's at 23 I think.

My friends (a lot of this list are my friends BTW) mostly drive "cars of interest." That is why some of them ARE my friends - cause that's how we met.

Hey Eric! Check your private messages! (and the rest of you should check on occasion too!)

32, purchased my first Porsche, 944S2 Cab., 8 years ago (sold it to my parents) , my first 911 (98 Carrera S) 5 years ago and my race car 3 years ago.
For some reason most of my friends own Porsches, or did own them. Go figure.

Just turned 34. My liver just turned 68.

Thanks to this board, I now have friends (who drive p-cars...). Both my brother in law and a good friend chose Targas over a cab or coupe.

I purchased my first Porsche when I was 31. Lets see... that would have been in 1972. Do the math. I prefer to say I'm 3D. Next year, 3E.

29 now, but got my p-car when I was 27.

I hope that I'm always this enthusiastic about cars in the future as I forward into my "golden" years.

It's not the years, it's the miles. I'm 42, but very high mileage, if you get my drift.
