What are your age and profession? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Cartel · 03-13-2013, 11:07 AM

I purchased my 1st Porsche at the age of 19. A 1999 Porsche Boxster in Glacier White. At the age of 21 I sold the '99 Boxster and purchased a '03 Porsche Boxster S in triple black. Debating the purchase of a 996 C4S or TT and keeping the 986S to continue as my daily. As far as my line of work is concerned, I am delved within the food industry as a food processor and restaurateur. Manufacturing product on the wholesale distribution level to the likes of Sysco, US Foods, et all. My product line is distributed throughout the Southeast, Midwest, and as far north as Canada.

/e I am currently 25 turning 26 in September.

50 something. I buy Homes at last count 72 so far. I bought my first Porsche almost a year ago. My I have learned a lot since then, especially recently. I raced sport bikes in a 3 state area with my wife and always did my own mechanical work. We are planning to race Porsches too, if I can get the darn thing running.

I am not an attorney but my brother is. He works for one of the largest lawfirms in DFW. He is a senior partner.

I have been on a motorcar hiatus as of late. Pardon my absence, but I am back in full swing, my friend. I will admit, my temporary leave was large in fact due to my new found love of firearms these last two years. Nevertheless, I can only hope you are no less of well and that world is fairing you well, John.

With best regards

52 years old. General manager of a retail greenhouse business. Married to the same girl for 28 of those years and she finally convinced me to buy my first Porsche last July. There's nothing like driving a topdown Boxster with the gal you love riding shotgun through the canyons of Utah. Love this forum and love my 986.

Or someone who was in jail for 2 years because of his 'love for firearms'

I am 66 yo and retired. And am enjoying it , particularly with my 2001 Box base. Would like to spend more time driving it in the warmer climates of Calif. and Ariz.
However my butt gets sore driving it long distance. I like my 4 hour drive to Jasper for hiking/camping in the summer. This is my first P car bought 1.5 years ago. No regrets. Had a Miata before. Get a better buzz out of the P car

70, female and driving my first sports car, Boxster 2011, that I got in Aug 2012. I've done DE, autocross, and am traveling for 3 months this summer from New England to San Diego, Seattle and wherever this car wants to travel. This car wants to move and I'm going with it. It's a great feeling.
