I purchased my 1st Porsche at the age of 19. A 1999 Porsche Boxster in Glacier White. At the age of 21 I sold the '99 Boxster and purchased a '03 Porsche Boxster S in triple black. Debating the purchase of a 996 C4S or TT and keeping the 986S to continue as my daily. As far as my line of work is concerned, I am delved within the food industry as a food processor and restaurateur. Manufacturing product on the wholesale distribution level to the likes of Sysco, US Foods, et all. My product line is distributed throughout the Southeast, Midwest, and as far north as Canada.

50 something. I buy Homes at last count 72 so far. I bought my first Porsche almost a year ago. My I have learned a lot since then, especially recently. I raced sport bikes in a 3 state area with my wife and always did my own mechanical work. We are planning to race Porsches too, if I can get the darn thing running.

I am not an attorney but my brother is. He works for one of the largest lawfirms in DFW. He is a senior partner.

What a cool thread. :cool:

I am 45 and have owned my Boxster since 2001. When I was in my early 20's I started with custom VW bugs. Then had a 1973 BMW 2002, which is the only car I ever regretted selling. Maybe that's why I have the same Porsche for so long.

Anyhow, I am in the chiropractic industry. I practiced as a Doctor of Chiropractic for nearly 19 years and retired from active practice in 2011. I am now Owner/CEO of a software company that serves the chiropractic industry (although we have non-chiro clients). I also teach doctors about running their practice and business. Since I like teaching (and learning), I really like contributing to this forum.

33, Indy Porsche Technician in Raleigh, NC. My first (and still own) Porsche is a 1987 924S. My fiancee enjoyed it so much, I had to get her a 1998 986 so I could have it back. I went to Raby's WTI training and even Purchased my own PIWIS1 as a result.

I have been a professional Technician since graduating college in 1999. I went to work for Cadillac and obtained Master Certified level in 2007. Thats when it all went wrong and I went euro. I never looked back. I have been Porsche and italian makes ever since.

I have been on a motorcar hiatus as of late. Pardon my absence, but I am back in full swing, my friend. I will admit, my temporary leave was large in fact due to my new found love of firearms these last two years. Nevertheless, I can only hope you are no less of well and that world is fairing you well, John.

With best regards

I am 66 yo and retired. And am enjoying it , particularly with my 2001 Box base. Would like to spend more time driving it in the warmer climates of Calif. and Ariz.
However my butt gets sore driving it long distance. I like my 4 hour drive to Jasper for hiking/camping in the summer. This is my first P car bought 1.5 years ago. No regrets. Had a Miata before. Get a better buzz out of the P car:):)

70, female and driving my first sports car, Boxster 2011, that I got in Aug 2012. I've done DE, autocross, and am traveling for 3 months this summer from New England to San Diego, Seattle and wherever this car wants to travel. This car wants to move and I'm going with it. It's a great feeling.

28, private DoD contractor, San Diego / 99 Boxster @ 133K; picked it up cheap as a Daily Driver so i can work on my weekend/track/show/sports car: 1990 NA6 Mariner Blue Mazda Miata.

78 Retired industrial engineer. 42 year Porsche owner, 3 356's, 1 914, 1 912, & 2 911's. Current car is a 2004 S. Likes: Quiet & smooth driver, comfortable, fast, great touring car. Dislikes: Nowhere close to a 911 in driving feel, brute force driving techniques. Also, extremely dislike all the "mods" the Boxter crowd is obsessed with, e.g. plastic snowplow front bumpers, silly decals and bling wheels. All that does is turn a well designed car into a boulevard freak. My 2 cts worth.

I am 58 years old. I operate the bulk electrical transmission system. I also own and operate a stained glass studio. Currently enjoying a 98 base unit with 87,000 miles. I had a 914, BC (before children).We went through the VW,Jeep,Japanese and big truck phases. Throw in a few boats and bikes. I must say the Porsche's have been my favorite four wheel internal combustion smile inducers of them all.

53 years, consultant to the broadcast industry, software trainer, systems integrator.

Married with four kids late 30's - late 40's, back to Harley's (2005 CVO SE V-Rod & 2001 Road King), at 53 back to sports cars this time Porsche. Almost purchased an '86 911 Cabriolet in 2011 nice car but I am glad I waited and purchased a Boxster. One drive is all it took.....

I agree with leknus.

It's spelled Boxster...with an "s" :p

Most old people don't like what the "kids" are doing these days. It will be ok ;)

"older" or "senior" is more appropriate ;)

I agree as well. My 2 cts in.

54, Pharmacist, working in the insurance industry. Purchased my 2001 Boxster S with 51K last July. Black on Black. First P car. Wondering about my IMS. Also have a 2001 Audi A4 Avant 1.8T and a 2000 VW Passat 1.8T, both with over 200K.

Oops :p

I do the same exact thing; damn kids with their loud music and pants around their ankles!!! :barf:

Great, considering the average age of well over 60 in this thread, I feel young again at 52!

+1
I agree, no reason to unreasonably modify a boxster, albeit i assume it's an eastern thing, as here in southern california the majority of owners keep their boxster pretty stock with exception to lighting (if not litronic) and stereo enhancements (most bose systems are dead by now).

43 Commercial Pilot

2003 Boxster S

Well, in that case, I feel like a zygote :D

It's the same at some of the PCA gatherings, people there have children my age!:eek:
