49, VP Industrial Operations for a Renewable Energy company which sounds good but I am scraping by just like everyone else. I am in the process of opening a European auto repair shop as an aside right now to make up some of my lost income from the global financial crisis.

52 now, but was 44 when I purchased my 2003 S new. I've enjoyed the car immensely and have no intentions to get rid of it. Only have 18,000 sunny weather miles on it.

I'm a commercial real estate appraiser in New Jersey. I would like to have an older air cooled 911, but have limited space and resources.

Current daily driver is an Audi Q5; prior cars included a BMW 328xi, two suv's and a minivan during the children years, Mustang GT, Datsun 280Z, Camaro, and two Chevy sedans.
