50 year old Sales Manager, 1998 Artic Silver/Boxster Red. Never work so much on a car in the last 20 years. Just pick up some 18's to give it the right look. OEM BBS of course!

As a whole, all the folks here are fairly young. Are there any older owners, or are they all buying the 911's and Corvettes?

By the way, I'm 62 and the program manager of a small company.

54, Sr. Application Engineer.. (fancy title for data & VoIP network design)
I design data and voice networks for business.. I've been working in the communications industry for 32 years..
Enjoying life...
Had many cars(too many to list), sold my 05 Mercedes the beginning of the year. (had 36K on it, purchased in 6-2004)
Purchased the P-car to compliment my motorcycle.. This is my motorcycle on 4 wheels..
I love how this car takes RPM's. just winding out the gears is one of the best parts of driving it..
Funny how I watch the RPM's now instead of the Speedometer...

I don't have what you call a daily driver, I work virtual office from home.
My commute is from the coffee pot to my desk in the morning...
Been working virtual office for over 10 years, so all my vehicles have low mileage.. Except the Boxster...

Other vehicles, 2007 Toyota Tacoma, (44K), 2010 Honda Fury (12K)

Talking

57 YO Retired CATV Platform Specialist. Took early retirement on April 1, 2012 and left the Cable Co in Toronto after 38 years of service. Started after I left the Canadian Military ... still looking for a career Charter member of the KMA Club (Kiss My A$$)

Had a 1986 951 for 7 years then upgraded to the Beepster when one came into friends Indy P-Car shop (HPCARS) two years ago; cheap, paid $500 more than P-Car boneyard offered. He had the engine rebuilt for me as the PO had overfilled the crankcase with 4 extra litres of oil and now I have a nice ride. Many do not believe it's a 2002 S ....

Other ride is a 2010 F-150 FX4 Luxury, short box SCREW.

14' Smokercraft w/25HP Mercury
