50 year old Sales Manager, 1998 Artic Silver/Boxster Red. Never work so much on a car in the last 20 years. Just pick up some 18's to give it the right look. OEM BBS of course!

45. Technical program manager in financial industry (banking). Brought MY00 Boxster back in Aug. 2011. Albeit, I have had BMW, Mercs, Mini/s, and my first car being a 1965 cougar….this is the best one yet.

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.

More untruth's Danger Mouse - I've just checked with Hugh Heffner and he doesn't know you.... Just because you own a Box camera and have an ugly chick on your arm don't make you a Playboy photographer!

Stop trying to show off (again)..... trapeze artist indeed ??? :ah:
