You have to consider the "sample" for your stats. This is an online forum, and I would suspect that older Porsche owners are under represented because they are not online. Take the average age of 'net users in general and you'd get similar numbers.

Anyway, 38...had the car for 2 years.

39 years old and no midlife crisis here!
What I want to know is how old your partner is? My wife is 38 but two of my brothers have partners way younger.
Let me guess the average age of Porsche car partners is at least 5 years younger.

26 now...got mine at 25. I may own others in the future, or another at the same time...but I will never get rid of this car, it's more than just a "thing." Like they say, you always remember your first.

rents paid 2k down payment on my honda civic when i was 16 so i could get the loan... since then been all up to me... i went from civic to s2000, to G35, to 997.1 and then 997.2... only problem with being so young and family not willing to cosign is getting a loan.. PCNA wouldnt finance me on either car so i was forced to buy outright.. so that makes it harder to justify a turbo since id have to buy it outright...

damn age'ist PCNA!

Bought my first 911 (90 964 cab) at 33. Just sold that and bought an 06 C2S coupe at 44. Bought a 944 track car about 8 years ago, and I like the idea of always owning at least one 911. My first was more than a car, but eventually it got to be pretty long in the tooth. I put 100k miles on it myself, for a total of 157k.

Since people are talking about their first cars, I bought a 69 bug for $200 at age 16 with paper route money. I always bought my own cars, paid my own insurance,gas, repairs, etc. Parents paid my tuition to school (HS and college were ~$1500/year back then) and I'd have had to take loans if I went to a more expensive school, but I never got (nor asked) for any handouts after age 16 or so.
