Bought my first porsche when I was 21. A 944 Turbo and quickly learned that just bcuz you can afford to buy it doesn't mean you can afford to maintain it. After running it into the ground, I sold it to my bro who spent $$ to bring it back up to mint. I vowed not to get a sweet car until I can afford to maintain it as well. I bought my 996 turbo 2 years ago at 36 and it has been heaven ever since. I am looking at a 07gt3 but the wifey says we need a bigger house. I am hoping to go shopping again in about 3 years or so.

Im 37, have four kids ages 3 to 15 (2 boys/2 girls) and this car has been not only practical but a blast for the family. My wife asks for rides all the time. It all depends on your family's perspective. I hope to have other models of the Porsche in my possession into my 50s.

First 911 was a 69 911T while stationed in Italy in the early 80's. Was about 27ish if memory serves me well... Fast forward through 2 kids graduated from college and semi retired... Current 02 C4S was a gift on my 50th birthday from my wife of 32 years! That was 5+ years ago! Have been tempted a few times to trade up to a 997 but there's just something special I like about this 996...

Just picked up my first Porsche yesterday. I've wanted a 911 for as long as I can remember. It's a 2002 911 Cabrio, not my first choice, but was traded-in where I work so I got a good deal. Hopefully this will be the start of a long, long time of Porsche ownership.

Absolutely true, but it might be even worse than that. When I was 26 and conspiring to own a Porsche, a 60-year-old co-worker that had just bought an '06 Cayman pulled me aside and told me to go get the car I wanted right now because he realized that he waited too long and that he would have enjoyed it a lot more in his 20s than he did in his 60s.
I took his advice.

as much or more than when I had my first 911S at age 28. When I am getting on the freeway, going through the gears is like a shot of Sildenafil Citrate
