I lived in Hildevag(Stavanger) for a couple of years. I'm pretty sure they are eating you up in taxes for the multiple vehicles and using those extra seats in the back of the 7 seater LOL Weight of the car, size of the engine, horsepower, etc can leave one shaking their heads just as hard as the inspector shaked their suspension system during the inspection when submitting a payment LOL Welcome to the forum and enjoy your Boxster. Lykke til, Chris |
Ok, so I had some free time on my hands on a rainy night and here are some statistics gathered from this thread:
300 people responded The average age of the respondents is: 47 years old The oldest respondent is: 78 The youngest respondent is: 16 The #1 Occupation is: Retired with 42 respondents The #2 Occupation is: Engineer with 31 respondents There are 10 business owners, 11 Pilots, 12 managers, 6 technicians, 5 project managers, and 7 students. Now we should start a thread with geographic location to see where everyone is from!! p.s. I didn't include myself as I am technically not a Boxter owner; YET. I'm waiting for my financing to go through. |

51, retired senior NCO in the army ( REDLEG ), Drive Truck now for a little extra spending money, 2000 Boxster base just recently purchased ( Sept 2019). first Porsche and only reason I got interested is because my old commander purchased a 2000 beginning of the year. That's when I started to look at them.

I'll update my response as I'm now 79 years old which I guess makes me the most senior respondent and own an almost pristine 2000S. I've put about 30,000 miles on it since buying it with 10,800 miles in 2014. I'm a semi-retired adviser, coach, consultant to small businesses, public speaker and author. I've had sports cars since a 1960 bugeye Sprite (bought new) though this is my first Porsche. My boxster comes out of hibernation in 99 days but who's counting?

Have had a shop on the side since I was 14 and have flipped/restored over 400 cars and motorcycles over the last 50 years, 25 were Porsches. Have just had my 8th set of hand surgeries.

62, builder real estate investor. 2002 s 55 k miles first Porsche. Sort of a bucket list thing along with my Harley, RZR and a few other toys. Been a bachelor for 27 years so I buy what I want when I want. Go where I want when I feel like it.

55 for the next few months. Career electrician, maintenance supervisor for the commercial division of a property management company now.
First Porsche. Nice change from dirt bikes, road bikes, off road 4x4 racing, and circle track cars. Plus it hurts too much to do most of that stuff any more. Enjoying the re-power project as I have time and it gives me something to look forward to in the spring. My other ride is a year old 2 door Rubicon. And an old work truck. Ya gotta have one of those for manly activities and yard work. Lol. |
