51, took a year off work and drove my 9 year old around to all of his activities
In the best physical shape of my adult years
He doesn't say it but 4 years later, my son still gets a kick out of being dropped off at school in a Porsche. Especially top down days.

Talking This will raise the curve

Turning 72 in july and driving the 2000 base boxster keeps the mind young.

51 and bought my slightly used '03-S 4 years ago. Had Triumph sports cars my entire driving life life until 2 years ago. Wanted a better handling, faster car that was invented after cup holders and heated seats ;-). Love driving the Porsche.

Waited too long

I am 67 now and when I got my first Porsche - a 2001 Base Boxster. Shouldn't have waited so long. It is a fine car. Although I've never been without a sports car. Had a trouble free first generation RX-7. After that car I decided I wanted a sports car that went VROOM instead of WHIRL. Then I had two Jaguar XKEs. Talk about maintenance and problems. Compared to them the Boxster is a breeze.
