Hi, I'm 57 now but don't feel that old or look that old or even act that old, though I must admit my sig pix has been retouched a bit. Driving the boxster has peeled off a lot of the old from me.

Yeah, I’m one of those “really old guys…”, 53. Got grey hair, thinning noticeably in back, but I’m still trim, with the reflexes of a 20 year-old (OK, 30 year-old) and the common sense learned in no small part by living those 53 years. I stay out of trouble faaaar more consistently than I did when I was half this age. And, yeah, gettin’ the Box has knocked a few years off me, too. I’m pretty happy with where I am. You just watch yer back, sonny.

I'm 35, turn 36 next month. I don't think I'll ever be a really old guy in my 50's and 60's, white haired and fat, because I'm female.

I'm 18, about to turn 19. Saved up to buy my 99 boxster from a family friend a couple years ago.

What's the average age of boxster drivers on this forum? I am assuming a younger age, because seems people here like to modify their 986's and improve performance.

BTW, I'm only 29, and my previous cars are (ahem...kinda embarrased to admit), an oldsmobile in high school, then a camry, then an Acura RSX.

I was 26 years old when I bought my first Porsche, a 97 Blue Boxster with hardtop.
I was so exicited driving that baby home from the dealership..I remember vividly the brand new aroma, sound of the engine and road feel...Ahhh priceless...
