Average age of boxster owners??

[E Kaplan]

Turned 48 last month. I think the reason why most Boxster drivers are in the 40+ range is that while the cars used are not too expensive, the maintenance can cost alot of money. Also, for many of us, our Boxsters are second cars. It generally takes a few years of work to reach a stage in your life where you can comfortably afford our Boxsters.

Wife says I'm salt 'n pepper. But my beard is almost all gray, so I don't do the Don Johnson scruffy look anymore. I'd look really homeless or like someone you'd keep your children a safe distance from.

I've been driving Porsches since my '66 912 in 1970. Had two 914-6s, a 911, 944, and the Box in 38 years of PCA membership.

At 60 I'm too old to care if some kid thinks I'm in mid-life crisis. And I admire the youngsters that stretch their finances to have cars like Boxsters. As I stretched mine when I bought the first -6 new on 2ndLt's pay.

I don't see what age and loving sports cars has to do with each other? But I am 49 and will be 50 next October. I am not fat and have very little gray in my hair. I have been told that I don't look any older than 40 and in better shape than most 35 year olds. I have been a car nut since I was a kid and still am. This year I will either buy a new Corvette Z51 3LT Convertible or a used 911 C2S coupe. I really like the Vette but my heart is with Porsche.

Fun game. I'm 26. While I can't yet claim anything Italian or otherwise exotic, I'm working to ensure that my list stays respectable (I had a slight indiscretion at 21 years old, but I've since rectified the situation). Always paying cash for my cars has kept my list a lot more down to earth than it would otherwise be. :-)

16: 86 535i
18: 88 325ic
19: 93 325i
20: 95 M3
21: 03 Jetta
22: 97 Box

I don't see why it's relevant whether a person drives a Boxster at 25 or 55. Very few people that I've ever known are in a position that they absolutely COULD NOT afford a new Box/911. So, it's more about priorities, which shift back and forth through one's life. When I was in high school and college, my car was my biggest concern. Now that newly I'm married, I focus a lot of money on paying off my house, travel, and saving for retirement; hence, I haven't bought a new car in 4 years (which as you can see is quite out of character for me). I can guarantee that once my wife and I pay off our house in a few years, I'll be buying another toy. May be a 911, may be a new Chris Craft, maybe an island house on Lake Winnipesauke. Regardless, at some point in my life, I'll spend significantly more on another impractical toy car with no roof, and to say "oh, he just owns that because he's XX years old" would be grossly inaccurate.
