That's the dream - to have a very large garage that will house the growing PCar collection. My wife has already been "trained" to look at homes with a 4 car garage MINIMUM. For now, my one car garage forces me to keep the other in an offsite storage facility... Not cool!

Yasir btw I see you still got the 91 Turbo why not go with a 993 Turbo trust me its worth the extra dollars that I know you don't want to spend.

Don't want to nit-pick, but doesn't a 'collector' by definition usually necessitate more than one car?

As I said, and quoting a great film that I can't remember "I meant no disrespect"...

Purchased my first Porsche at 17, a 1980 911 SC (imported from europe in 84'), sold that years ago, buying a 1997 993 C2S now at age 22. If buissness continues to do well, then I should be shopping for a 993TT in 6 months or so.

Good luck with the business - I hope it's a success for more than just the TT... although that IS a pretty good incentive

Urban,

You are very right it does. I was just naming the Porsches I have owned. I have a few other toys as well but they are not P-cars so I thought I would leave them out. The other ones are American Muscle cars and an Import.

I picked my one owner 993TT up at the ripe age of 33...that was ten years ago, and now, oddly enough...I'm 29!

Can't wait until next year, when I'll be 28!

I don't know how I missed this thread through all these years. May be because I don't really own a 993TT. Mine is a 993t.

Anyhoooo, I got my Ruf in 2003 when I was 53 years old. My first Porsche ever. Now I am at the ripe old age of 60.

LOL !!!It was Black/Black with only 2k miles and I remember setting in the car for the first time smelling the new Porsche leather and grabbing the steering wheel and making the statement :"I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M IN A $25,000.00 CAR" !!!!!! WOW, how things have changed !!!!

I bought my first Porsche three years ago at age 39 - the one you see in my avatar.

While in college, I worked one summer for a local businessman who owned a 1979 turbo. I worked at his house cleaning the pool, moving the lawn, and anything else they needed done. My favorite job was washing the Porsche. When I was done with it, that car was always spotless. I got to drive it one day, hit boost in second gear, and I swore right then and ther I would own one one day.

What a fortunate group of people we are.

Back in 06 on this thread I said I was 29 whern I bought it. Cant belive I've had this thing for 6 years. This is my 4th turbo (2 79's & a 78). Had this one the longest. The 993 is much lighter and faster than it was iun '05 - it also lacks awd now. (it also has a couple more german stablemates)

Bought my first P car in 2001 at 49. Bought the 1st turbo in 2007 at 55 and the last one in 2010 at 58. Screwed around with BMW, Audi and MB beginning when I was 26. Prior to that I had a bunch of " Fix it again Tony"s. Been a good run so far.
