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.

I would say #1 occupation is Engineer; Retirement is not an Occupation.

11 pilots! There has to be more. Driving these cars is just as thrilling as flying; to a degree. I flew F-18s in the Navy and now I fly an older Israeli jet (F-21 Kfir) and also a a really old British Fighter (Mk-58 Hawker Hunter). At times, I have the same reaction climbing into my '04 S as I do when I strap into the Kfir. Love these cars but more importantly I love this Forum and the people who are a part of it. Merry Christmas all!

57 year old professional auto enthusiast. I have worked at a dozen or so automotive companies, 4 tire stores, Shelby, Saleen, & then 3 companies in the automotive press fleet management industry, the 1st of which had the Porsche account!!
I never liked Porsche's because they were so slow at drag racing. (I made a little money street racing in my younger years.) So I got a job as a test driver for the company that had the Porsche account along with most of the other brands in 2000 MY.
Driving the 1st 996 I had ever been close to completely changed my mind about Porsche
When the new Boxster 'S' arrived it was love at 1st drive. Overall I loved the job. I delivered cars to celebrities for Jaguar & I couldn't wait for weekends to end so I could get back to "work". Management change made me want to quit so I did & started working on cars in my garage & eventually started rebuilding M96 engines starting with my own 3.6.
