53. USAFR JAGC retired; currently Army civilian attorney. Although I fit the usual stereotype, by my count, I am only the second attorney to report in, which is surprising. The 08 Cayman is actually my second Porsche, but that was because I only owned my 99 Box for a few months before trading it after discovering my head would hit the rollbar in a rear-end collision. That, and my wife's discovery that a convertible might actually mess up her hair. LOL

Attorney, 53. This is my third Porsche, but I do have to say that my favorite car ever was my Alfa Romeo GTV6. Rare, great styling, fast for its time and blast in the twisties. The bad synchros taught me well how to heel and toe double clutch.

Eh, what the hell. At least I'm not the youngest one here.

26, departmental liaison/analyst in loss mitigation for a large multinational financial firm. Completing a Bachelor's degree to move up in the company, planning on starting on an MBA this fall.

Daily a '95 Mercedes E320 sedan (158k), enjoy the Boxster on the weekends. Was a former Volkswagen nut.

Hunting for E46 M3 maybe? could be E90 4-door 335. Desperately wishing for better wagons in the US.

Previous:

99 BMW M3
Various others...

41 - 16 Yrs as a construction consultant to claims for a large insurance company. MBA in finance that has nothing to do with anything I currently do......

P-Car Resume
74 914 2.0 - 4 yrs - Sold
62 356 B Super 90 - 1 Summer - Sold
88 911 Targa - 8 Years - Sold to friend....still see it sometimes!

It's funny to read some of the comments, my wife has always maintained that I like Porsches because they appeal to my meticulous nature.

I'm 46. Fifth generation Kansan and with none of us being involved in agriculture! Drove BMWs for nearly 20 years before buying my first Porsche in Jan. of '09. I'm in the Printing/Publishing biz for nearly 23 years now! My daily driver is a '11 F-150 and a BMW R motorcycle. I went to WSU (Wichita) for Admin of Justice (Law enforcement) and it has nothing to do with what I do today. I have a live in girlfriend who's been around since 1984. I'm not ready to get married any time soon. I just don't like to rush things like that.
