Porsche is laughing at people that say this...

When I was 21 years old I attended a party with my future wife. We were playing a game with a group of people and we were all asked to list three things we wanted to experience at least once in life. My three were; to make allot of $$$$, swim in the blue waters of Hawaii and to own a red Porsche 911.

I worked hard and sacrificed for 20 or so years and it was finally time to buy that red Porsche 911 cash. When I went for the test drive there was a little delay in getting the 911 from the back lot. So I asked the salesman if we could take the 987 for a spin while we waited. The rest is history, I bought my dream car, a red Porsche Boxster.

Ah the Boxster is a chick car, a 911 wannabe, and so it goes & so it goes. I am 62 yrs old and I god-dam enjoy driving my Boxster S. I could give a rat's ass what other think and their warped envious malfunctioning set of values. All I look forward for spring when the top goes down and old Sol washes it rays upon me. What others think of that olde silver fox," in a mid life crisis" enjoying his Porsche or non Porsche or chick Porsche, is the farthest thing from my mind. Their feeble minds could not capture the essence of a moment driving a Porsche. All that I would need to make the visualization to suit my persona would be a white silk scarf reminding me of my flying days.
To finalize my father always told me as a child in Cuba regarding these envious nefarious people, "Son if they were all smart they would be rocket scientists. Don't be so concerned with those in the non rocket scientist circle and enjoy your ride you worked hard for it. These remarks are always generated by non Porsche owners or 911 sissy boys whose car are garage queens. Salesmen have a big part in these
statement for the obvious monetary reasons.

Well, for me "eleven is heaven" until the 996 came up....

I think I metioned this before but I had in my life a 356, 911 sc (2of them), 964 C2 and 964 C4. My Dad had the first 911 ever, my brother a 914 and a 911 SC, my brother in law a 356 and the list goes on.

See a pattern?

Took a break from Porsches for a while but always wanted another one, preferably a 911 (aircooled!).

Then came the Boxster and it won me over.... only Porsche today with "soul", screw the rest of the debate, people in the know....know.

Later,
