Average age of boxster owners??

[TriGem2k]

16 years old, Brand New Boxster, my insurance premium was $650/MONTH!!!!!

6.5 years later, Same Boxster, my insurance premium is $175/Month!

Talk about being raped monthly :ah:

[LoveBunny]

$650!!! Dang, that's steep! But now my insurance is higher than yours I think and I'm a lot older. Ridiculous. I'm sure our insurance in general is just higher here though.

Come on people , time to change insurance carriers. I pay roughly $250/ 6 months. Yes thats / 6 months. I do have completely clean driving record however.

[LoveBunny]

You pay $250 every six months?!? Did I read that correctly?

Mine is $1,370.22 every six months. That's with multiline discount, antitheft discount, vehicle safety discount, and accident-free discount.

But then I live in New Orleans where someone was mugged at 9:00 a.m. about a block from where I live by thieves driving a stolen car.

Truman was president when I was born.

Bought an '02 Boxster about a month ago. Been looking at them for a year or so and decided to grab one before I am too old to really enjoy it! Have a '04 A4 and a '94 Miata (which I need to sell). The insurance on the Boxster is about the same as the A4.

First auto I ever owned was a '68 MGB (BRG with wire wheels) back in college not counting the blue Champion pedal car back in the day. And, yea, I still have the Champion.

BTW, first post here. Been browsing a little to learn more about this fun trouble mobile I now have.

Who cares how old we are?

I believe we are all on this forum because we have a passion for performance cars in general and P-cars in particular. I bought mine last year when I was 38. It was not a mid-life crisis car. I always wanted a well made, beautiful and superbly handling high performance car. However, until last year, I had more pressing concerns. Ridiculous school loans, mortgage, kids, retirement, food.... etc. etc. When I felt that finally I could slow down a little from my work and have my finances under control... I bought it. Everytime I sit in it, instant smile.

Lil Bastard - No wonder you know so much about cars. Your list of cars just goes on and on. How did you afford them all? You seem to be a hands on guy and not a silver spoon inheritance guy. Just curious.

mchi5 - gotta be careful my man. Interesting thread but remember, life goes by pretty fast. Guys you think that are old and past their prime will be you soon enough. My good friend who races motorcycles is in his late 40's and he is in better shape than I ever was in my early 20's.

Oh, come on! You put off getting your Boxster because you just wanted to eat? You've got to make sacrifices. I eat only ramen and live in my parents' house. (Just kidding.)

But seriously, we do get "old" before we know it. I used to look at guys that were in their 40s or 50s and think they were old farts. Now I often look at them and wonder if they are single. Guess they aren't old farts anymore. Scary how fast lift flies by.

And btw, I had a 944 when I was 16, so I guess if the Boxster had been out I'd have had that instead. I ended up having to sell it when I moved away and no longer had my dad to help me maintain it. I always wanted another P-car but never had the opportunity until now.

I'm 67, will be 68 in August. My first car was a 1963 Beetle. Traded it five months after I bought it for a 1964 MGB. Kept it until I bought a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible. Beautiful car, Saturn Gold with a white interior and a white top. Kept it until 1991 when I bought a 1990 Mazda Miata. I have owned two other Miatas. Bought my present car in Aug of last year.

As you can see, I love convertibles.

Even your work car is black and white. What are you going to do if you ever become a detective and get a blue car? oh, no!

I'm 23, to be 24 in a few months

I can't stereotype people who drive boxsters, ive seen women, men young old driving them...

[ultimate1]

I am 39 and I got my 2000 Zenith Blue Box two years ago. I don't think anyone can sterotype a Boxster driver. I think the only question about a Boxster being a real Porsche is if its an automatic. No offense to the automatic Boxster owners. Just my honest opinion. I think there are way too many automatics floating around in South Florida and it paints the wrong kind of image for Boxsters and Boxster owners.
