In Porsche Club Sweden, I've never met that attitude. I've had owners of 991 GT3s and air cooled 911s take an interest in my humble Boxster just as much as I'm interested in theirs.

Exactly my thoughts.. It's just that this car has become so famous and iconic over the years, and with fame you get a lot of criticism also hehe. People see the car on street and immediately they realize it's a P.
@OP I'm also young and I also drive a 986. Yes maybe it's because of the age, maybe it's because of spending "only $15k" to buy this car, but why does it matter in the end? Also, a 2016 used Mustang costs the same as the 17 year old Porsche (with Engine IMS issues...). So if we judge by the current car's worth, everyone must make fun of the cheap Mustangs..
I also feel good when I see another Porsche on the street. Problem with some P-Owners is that they use the car to show to the world that they are rich... Others just buy a Porsche for the thrill of driving,owning and maintaining a beautiful and unique "super car". I'm on that side
