Average age of boxster owners??

[jmatta]

Gee, I drive a Boxster S in the Chicago northern suburbs, I'm 52 years old and have a bit of grey hair, but I don't consider myself too fat. Guess he's talking about me.

I drive my 911 at track events and will be coaching tomorrow at the Chicago PCA Autocross school, whilst my 17 year old son drives the Boxster. My cars are nicely modified and I enjoy working on them, when time permits. Perhaps the older driver has more disposable income than most the kids?

By the way, my previous cars have been countless 911s, 964s; turbos and such. Never owned an Oldsmobile, though.

wow guess i offended some people. sorry I didn't mean to. Just from what I've seen driving boxsters around where I live. the people who I see in 911's usually are in the mid 30-40 yr olds.

jmatta, good thing you never owned an oldsmobile before. It is such a piece of crap. makes me appreciate porsches more. can't wait till I get either a slightly used 911 turbo in a few years

at 36 I have had my fair share of nice cars, not exotics. With a young family a 6yo and 2.5 I keep the boxster as a mini vacation or getaway car even if its a short drive. I also cant justify spending the money for a "fun" car right now with the cost of living skyrocketing. As I still have 2 boys that I need to put through college... Also the 986s is still enough car for me, I still get lots of enjoyment from it and it still a better car than I'm a driver. If and when that changes, then the boys will have to settle for jr college so that daddy can get his turbo

I hear that! I have two in college now (all told probably 6 figures a year ) and two that are juniors in High School. When the second two get to college the "expendables" may hafta go. You know - expendables - wine - tequila - food - stuff you don't need. My white 986s? No way.

As to my age, I am 55. You couldn't pay me to be 18 again. 35? Probably, depends how much are you going to pay .

Since I was 10 I wanted a motorcycle. I got my first when I was 32.
Since I was 15 I wanted a small, sporty convertible. I got the Boxster at age 46.
Since I was in my early twenties, I wanted to see the underwater world in person. I got SCUBA certification at age 48.
Since my early twenties I wanted to learn stunt car driving. Haven't done that yet.

I'm fairly atypical for the Boxster crowd, I believe. I bought mine new when i was 29. Most guys that I know around my age would've bought a 911 instead.

34, bought it new when I was 32....I've had more to love since I was in preschool so it really has nothing to do with the aging process....

so I played HS football....our star RB went on to play College Ball fell short of the pros.....guy was built like a specimen...

dropped dead in the hallway of his condo complex at about 31.....really got me thinking that I should enjoy my time here.....enter boxster
