Default "Typical" Porsche Driver

Though the Rennlisters would appreciate a little German humor...

Translated roughly,--"I bought a Porsche. Give me a haircut of a typical Porsche driver!"

So True for at least 90% of the P-cars I see on the road. Makes me feel SO young! hahaha

Thanks for the laugh & cry since in about 10-15 years I'll probably still be driving a Porsche and would be in my 40s with either really thin hair or none on top since my Father was.

Oh well

Good one. Maybe that was true years ago, but today the typical driver is getting younger. If I lose my hair and get fat, I'm buying a moped...or a rug, viagra and a new 997.

Looks more like a typical Vette driver! I would have to say of all of the makes of sports cars ever made, more vettes can be found driving the double nickel in the right lane than any other - in America, it is the ultimate stereotypical mid life crisis car.

Guys,
Baldness is the consequence of testosterone metabolism, and hair loss is just proof you've got some. Sensitivity to the consequences of testosterone is genetic, so manifestations are not universal. However, I believe that the above cartoon proves "real men" drive Porsches (at least when their wives let them).
Of the following choices as we age:
Testosterone
Sex Drive
Porsche
Hair,
I'll take three of the first four any day. I also wouldn't give up any of the top three for the fourth. AS

You know. I see more vette drivers with these attributes (agreed Coochas). You have to add the gold chain, chest hair (showing through the top of the tank-top) and Carrera sunglasses. I swear a gym I frequent this guy shows up with his vette and wearing a tank-top and a gold chain. He recently had his back and shoulders waxed as he was more gorilla than man. Vettes are nice rides, they just have a poor image attached...

I returned from Vietnam in 70and began to let my hair grow out. Apparently, some dastardly Viet Cong sabotage had ridded my noggin of its previous cover. Having a barren area had pretty much taken over by my early 30s, I can attest that worse things can happen. At 57 most of my various parts and pieces of equipment work reasonably well, except I can't hear worth a hoot. Were I to have to choose between my a full head of hair and having other physical features function appropriatley, well, guess there is a lot to be said for testosterone.
