32. I am a registered financial advisor.
2004 Boxster S
24,000 miles.
I am painfully aware of the lost opportunity cost of owning a Porsche, however that can be saved a bit when one uses the rapid depreciation of a used European car in their favor.

50 yr old Accountant
1st pcar - if something happened I'd replace it. Don't think I'll ever be without a Porsche again. Not a car guy but it is just great fun to drive.
Also 2002 Subaru Outback, 1992 Acura
(don't laugh, as above, I'm an accountant!)

I'm 38 years old machine and metal engineer. Working as a project manager for a drill rig manufacturer.
Boxster is my first Porsche and my other current cars are:
- VW Bug split window -50 (endurance racing car)
- VW Bug split window -51 (project)
- VW Bug Karmann Cabriolet -69 (project)
- VW Bug standard -70 (project)
- VW Vanagon T3 Syncro -91
- Opel Astra 2.0Di -98
- VW Golf 2.0TDI 4Motion -05
The only former car I miss is Lancia Delta HF Integrale. Loved that rally car, but it was always broken...
Never owned Japan or American car.

47 YO. Own and run an Executive recruiting company specializing in software sales and marketing execs nationwide.
Second Boxster - first was some 12 years ago, bought new and returned via Lemon Law. Went through two BMW M3 conv (loved them but wanted a Boxster again). Found a perfect MY2000 here locally and stole it from the guy so here I am again.
MY DD is a MY2000 Honda Insight (all stock)-getting between 60-85mpg... looks like an egg but damn it feels good getting 600-800 miles per tank with only 10 gallons!
