When did you decide you wanted one?
I was 8 years old. A family friend took me for a ride in his brand new 1998 Boxster... I guess that ride really made a lasting impression.

How long did it take to finally purchase it?
8 years... of waiting to drive....and waiting for the car. (1997 986)

How old where you then, and now?
I was 16, now im almost 19

Is there anything you would have done differently?
Yes, I would have put a few extra dollars aside early on for all the maintence.

Quick word of advice for a young person trying to save for one?

Buy a newer low mileage car. The older and the higher the mileage, the higher the upkeep (I found this out first hand.. I got my car for 60% of KBB value.. within 2 years, I dump the rest of the 40% savings back into the car.. what a deal! I would have been better off spening the extra 40% and buying a newer, lower mileage porsche.)
