The first one I ever drove was a 1972 911T, it was my brothers, I think it was a 2.5, not sure. It was the coolest car I'd ever driven, one bite of the apple and I was hooked. Sadly, he sold it to reconcile his now ex wifes pre marriage debt. I recently saw one listed for 20K on ebay, I think he got $7,500 and it was in very very good condition...

Around 1983 a friend of my parents had a '69 911T that I sat in. He sold it to a then and now friend of mines dad for $4500 in '84. The dad years later gave the car to my friend. The car was in my driveway last Sunday and still looks immaculate!!! This was the first Porsche I ever sat in. This guy also had a Delorean (sp?) and a cell phone back when they were the size of a toaster oven and $3,000!!!

My Boxster S is the first and only p-car I've ever owned. Had half a dozen bimmers and three or four benz's but I think I've found where I want to be!

When I was a kid my Dad's Cousin had a 356 Speedster. I thought it was the coolest car. Later in college I had friends with 914s, 911sc, and Carreras. Shortly after college I was married with kids and a German sports car was not in the plans. First things first.

Once my kids were all off to college it was time to pick out a true sports car for myself. Only a Porsche or Ferrari would do. I considered a dozen cars from the Ferrari 308, Dino, 911sc, 930, 996TT, 356 Speedster replica, and just knew right away when I drove the Boxster that it was the right car for me. I have not been disappointed.
