46?..I think?

Hi All, this is my first Post I think I'm 46... just had B-Day in April...so still too soo to sink in yet. Been reading this forum since December ( when I found the Boxter I wanted ) didn't get it till mid April... Great Forum.. I read something everyday... trying to get my car back as close to new as possible so I'll have more than a few questions, hope thats ok.
No Porsche Dealer up here... but there is one Great privately owned shop, that Knows Porsches inside & out "TJ'S" so I'm lucky i that respect. So Hello from Wayyyyy up North in Newfoundland Canada.

I'm 67 but my self-image is 24. But the reality principal (and my wife of 45 years) keep me from hitting on the women who would be interested in a 24 year old.

Had to think about it. I've been counting backwards since I hit 30. But if I'm not mistaken, 38! Maybe

That's what always cracks me about the chick car label. I've met exactly one chick who owned a Boxster and zero who would prefer one to a Cayenne if you were buying. The overwhelming majority of Boxster owners have been white males in their late 50's with children no longer in the house. And for the "hair dresser's car" label, the gay Porsche owners I've met drove either 911 Cabriolets or Cayennes.

Didn't have to go far, my former hair dresser. Too pricey for me now though. But his boyfriend/husband had a Cayenne Turbo and was planning to add a Panamera.
They thought my Boxster was too impractical for big shopping days.
My new hair guy has no license and relies on hot strippers to get him around. LOL.

Definitely a 991 Caboriolet type. No ebrake if you know what I mean.

Age?

Not sure of your age? to figure out your real age do this...

Pick a number between 2 and 9...

Multiply this number by 2...

Then add 5...

Multiply it by 50...

If you already had your Birthday this year add 1762 ... If you haven't add 1761..

Now subtract the four digit year that you were born...you should have a 3 digit number.

The first digit of this was your chosen number...

The next two numbers are your age
