As a whole, all the folks here are fairly young. Are there any older owners, or are they all buying the 911's and Corvettes?

By the way, I'm 62 and the program manager of a small company.

41 Software engineer, first Porsche (still not sure how I got my wife to agree to it).

Interesting story : In South Africa in the late '90s I bought a used green C280 Mercedes from the father of a very well known internet entrepreneur who currently has links to electric vehicles, rockets and spacecrafts. The car was an undisclosed salvage (no carfax in SA) and should really have been scrapped. The car gave me problems with no end and many sleepless nights... but life is learning and now I smile everytime I see or hear of his son and can't help thinking about that green Mercedes.
