While it's true - largely because of financial realities - that the Porsche-driving demographic is older than average, I'd like to think that Porsche drivers are happier people. So many of us are driving a 911 as the realization of a childhood dream...how can that reality not make someone happy?
If you're one of the cranky ones, take a moment to let the reality of the moment hit home...recognize that 11-year-old-you would think you are The Man...(Wait, you're saying that when I get to be your age, I will be having sex AND I'll be driving a Porsche? Holy s**t, grown-up me is AWESOME!!!).

So, stop being codgers and drive your Porsche more!

Wow, from critiques of existentialism to the inner secrets of Pink Floyd, this forum is loaded with such erudite people. I feel like such an Eliza Doolittle here.

Sunday morning 9:30, and there isn't a cranky bone in my body. As I ease towards the garage door to slip away with my Guards Red mistress for a ride, I hear from behind me "are you going to plant those shrubs we bought at Home Depot yesterday now?". Now I'm cranky.

^This. My mother used to say I was 7 going on 80 (too damned long ago). Now that I'm on the downhill side of life, I think I need to find out where you guys are driving that you're getting all these flirts from younger women ...
