Well, people have this assumption because its mostly true, at least for 911 owners. A Porsche 911 is often a 2nd or 3rd car for people and the maintenance is not exactly cheap, especially if you use a dealer. Everyone I know personally who owns a Porsche 911 is fairly well off.

Yes, the Prius is the most likely left-lane-bandit in the greater Phoenix area.

And Para... Are you even a real Porsche owner? I mean you own a ford so that kind of cancels you out of being considered a true upper class Porsche owner.

Sarcasm... like others here I get it pretty good in person but not so much online. BTW, I have nothing against ford and actually like some of their recent cars, especially the new GT350s.

In case you lost track of him - after his three minutes of 997 ownership, Johnny Irish dumped his 997 for a used VW - and then recently showed back up in our forum with another 996.

So, for those keeping score - in the space of 2 years, he bought a 996, traded it for a 997, traded that for a VW, and then bought another 996 (and kept the "hot hatch").

It would have been cheaper for him to just keep the original 996 and convert it to run on the juice squeezed from $100 bills...

He reminds me of one of those guys who remarries his ex-wife...couldn't stand the b***h, but it turns out nobody else is interested...

I think we need to bitch slap the OP for starting this thread. He also does not like convertibles.

How's that old saying go...

If you meet an ******* first thing in the morning, he's probably an *******. But if you're meeting ******** all day, you're probably the *******.

I find that saying holds true on the Interwebs as well...
