Just turned 51 last week. I'm an airline pilot(First Officer) for a major airline currently in bankruptcy. I've been flying since the age of 15, my mom used to drive me to the airport so I could go fly. The job is not what it used to be and no I am not rich by any stretch of the imagination. I bought a brand new RX-7 in 1983 after I graduated from college. Ended up selling it since I could not afford it as a flight instructor making a grand total of $8300 a YEAR! My first year working for an "airline" I made a grand total of $12,000 and it took me four years to break $20K. The airline business has not been kind to my finances but I still love to fly. Over the years I have owned a string of unexciting cars, trucks and mini vans I grew up watching racing as a kid and have always wanted a Porsche. I certainly can't justify new so I started out looking at used 911's. I didn't really even know about the Boxster until I started researching. I saw many comments about 911 owners wishing they hadn't sold their Boxster. I liked the Boxster pricing and once I drove one, I was bit. I absolutely love driving with the top down in this car! My other vehicle is a 2007 Toyota Tundra that is extremely reliable but is now relegated to driving to the airport and Lowes/HD. I can not imagine not owning a PCAR now
