No shame in that. My Daily is a 2020 Chevrolet Express work van. A total lump that helps me appreciate the 911. Plus, I put about 25,000 miles a year in it. Those are low quality miles and wear and tear that happens to the company vehicle.

41, I make video games for a living... I've wanted a 911 since I was a kid and my dad's friend showed up to our house in a mid 80's gold 911 Turbo, probably why I've been a member here nearly 20 years.

65 year old semi-retired civil engineer. I’ve owned many cars in my life including ‘70’s muscle cars, vettes, mercedes etc. My 997.2 CS2 is by far my favorite.

Soon to be 61, open outcry derivatives market maker (dying profession). Never a car guy until I bought a 996 4s at 58 years old at my wife's insistence. Bought my 997.2 4s at 59 years old and might be adding a 996tt at age 61. I caught the Porsche bug bad, but I don't have the garage space.....please help me..... LOL
Previous cars include 81 Rabbit Diesel 4 speed, 94 3/4 ton Chevy Suburban Diesel, 2014 Volt, 2014 Mini Cooper

46, retired Army after 23 years. Right before I retired I realized that the 997 was obtainable. Got out of the Army, went to college at 40 to finally fulfill my promise to my Grandma. Graduated in 2020 at 45, the same weekend as my daughter. Thanks to COVID there was no graduation ceremony for either of us. Now I work for the USDA. Used to drive an 2003.5 M3, still own an 03 Cobra, but that’s getting prepped for sale. Been lurking for a few years and became a member 2 years ago. Bought my 06 C2S in July. Probably paid too much, but it just about 100% my dream spec.

Age: 35, Occupation: Commercial Insurance Broker and my wife and I own a gymnastics club.
I have been into Porsche's forever. First car at 16 was a clapped out 944, then moved my way into a salvage title Boxster, then a 996 Carrera 4 and now I finally picked up a 997 C2S this year. Have had many other cars through the years, Camaro SS 1LE, Ranger Rover, Audi A4, GTI, MR2 Turbo, Celica GT-Four, trucks, etc.

Age 34 - Bought a 997.2 S manual. Job is Head of AI/Machine-learning for a Fortune 250 company. I have been a massive Porsche fan my entire life. My Dad owned a 993 in Carrera Red when I was a kid and I adored going on spirited drives in it. I knew I had to own one and was lucky enough to buy my car two years ago. It is currently my daily (most of the drives are to the golf course though as we are generally working from home since 2019).
