What are your age and profession?

Had my 98 for a couple months and love it!

4 kids (2-18 yo), got a 7 seater Toyota Avensis Verso Diesel, and a Miata NA in addition to my 97 Boxster Tip.

The 986 is my Third Porsche, recently it replaced an '81 91 SC, which replaced an '86 944 NA.

Fun fact - both the Boxster and the Miata are black, has hardtops and tan interiors! My oldest son is the one using the Miata.

Hei,

I lived in Hildevag(Stavanger) for a couple of years. I'm pretty sure they are eating you up in taxes for the multiple vehicles and using those extra seats in the back of the 7 seater LOL Weight of the car, size of the engine, horsepower, etc can leave one shaking their heads just as hard as the inspector shaked their suspension system during the inspection when submitting a payment LOL

Welcome to the forum and enjoy your Boxster.

Lykke til,

Chris

Ok, so I had some free time on my hands on a rainy night and here are some statistics gathered from this thread:

300 people responded
The average age of the respondents is: 47 years old
The oldest respondent is: 78
The youngest respondent is: 16
The #1 Occupation is: Retired with 42 respondents
The #2 Occupation is: Engineer with 31 respondents
There are 10 business owners, 11 Pilots, 12 managers, 6 technicians, 5 project managers, and 7 students.

Now we should start a thread with geographic location to see where everyone is from!!

p.s. I didn't include myself as I am technically not a Boxter owner; YET. I'm waiting for my financing to go through.

[Ciao]

I would say #1 occupation is Engineer; Retirement is not an Occupation.

51, retired senior NCO in the army ( REDLEG ), Drive Truck now for a little extra spending money, 2000 Boxster base just recently purchased ( Sept 2019). first Porsche and only reason I got interested is because my old commander purchased a 2000 beginning of the year. That's when I started to look at them.

[Bald Eagle]

I'll update my response as I'm now 79 years old which I guess makes me the most senior respondent and own an almost pristine 2000S. I've put about 30,000 miles on it since buying it with 10,800 miles in 2014. I'm a semi-retired adviser, coach, consultant to small businesses, public speaker and author. I've had sports cars since a 1960 bugeye Sprite (bought new) though this is my first Porsche. My boxster comes out of hibernation in 99 days but who's counting?

[outsidetheboxster]

55 for the next few months. Career electrician, maintenance supervisor for the commercial division of a property management company now.

First Porsche. Nice change from dirt bikes, road bikes, off road 4x4 racing, and circle track cars. Plus it hurts too much to do most of that stuff any more. Enjoying the re-power project as I have time and it gives me something to look forward to in the spring.

My other ride is a year old 2 door Rubicon.

And an old work truck. Ya gotta have one of those for manly activities and yard work. Lol.
