No i-banker here... Been fortunate to make enough change to invest in a few different ventures in Asia. Thank god they are doing well or I would be taking the bus right now. Once it gets warm enough to venture outside, let's do drinks man!

Personally, before I got my license at 16 I knew I was going to need a hot car so I got to work saving. I designed many websites for my first $10,000 which I bought my e36 with. After a happy year with it, I sold it, and began buying and selling cars for a profit using my dealership connection to buy cars of interest to me at wholesale and drive them until they sold. I have been through a good handful of cars (and a few bikes) and have now finally made my way up to the 996. I love the 996 and actually the next thing on the plate is a GT3 but I need this 996 sold! God bless forever wanting more.

39, ´91 928 S4
40, ´01 996 Cabrio
40, ´02 996 Targa

Seem to be on of the oldest on this forum. But before I moved to Spain, from Denmark, it wasnt possible for me to buy a Porsche -- In Denmark the prices are triple because of tax.

Anyway, Malaga is a perfect place for Porsche with 300+ sunny days -- Denmark only have about 30 (-:

When I was 21 I bought my first Vette. $3933 new in 1963. Porsches were slow weeny cars back then. A lot of money I was only making $6600 and my wife about $3000. 5 Vettes later I bought my first Porsche in 1999.

Bought my 944 at 32 added a Boxster 6 months later, then sold both 1 year later and got the 996. The P Bug has infected me with its venom.

30. My motivation is a little different. I was in the World Financial Center on Sept 11th. The event forced me to reasses and pushed me to do some of the things I was working for in the future, today. The whole process started with a Audi S4, which quickly turned into a Porsche.
