We shouldn't forget her so quickly...

56yrs old. I sold off a part of my business in 2005 and came away with more cash than I expected. The Boxster was a small gift to me for 20 years of faithful service in my former dealership. A good gift.

Turning 40 in October. I guess only the teenagers can get the "alaska" silver color; mine is just arctic silver. :)

56 feel older/younger depending upon how screwed up work is

I am 32 now and have owned my 2001 986 for three years now.

57 and bought my 2000 as a summer toy two months ago. Third Porsche, but first one in 20 years (something to do with a divorce and rasing children). Two out of three (children, not wives!) were out of the house and the youngest was just finishing college, so I treated myself. Of course, now one is moving back home and the other is returning to school in the fall! No worries, the car stays!

Another interesting question might be: what are the relative ages of our spouses/significant others? I mean, I'm pretty confident (and the posts seem to confirm) that most of the older owners feel younger than their physical years. We also obviously appreciate a tight and curvaceous body.....

Cheers!

30-39: 8
40-49: 12
50-59: 21
60-69: 5
70-79: 1

Yes, but the mode is 50-59 with over a third of all respondants (35.6% approx.) between those ages. Furthermore, in total about 56 % are between 40 and 59, so it seems to be largely a middle-aged possession. Middle-age crazies????????

I'll chime in here, too. I'm 40, and have owned my 99 base since last August. As far as the stats go, I have a bit to contribute (I'm a statistician by profession):

http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/dist1338585968.jpg


Summary Statistics

Mean 44.397059
Std Dev 13.141185
Std Err Mean 1.5936027
Upper 95% Mean 47.577903
Lower 95% Mean 41.216214
N 68
Median 44.5
Mode 44

It looks like we're a fairly normally distributed bunch, except for you guys in your 20's... but hey, I'm not sure ANYONE in their 20's is quite normal. ;)

Cheers,
Jason

Oops, my dyslexia sometimes gets the better of me. I could have sworn I wrote arctic silver. Or maybe I subconsciously related the word arctic with alaska. I will blame Sara Pailin and leave it at that.

At least she's better looking than Trunk Monkey........

Boxster_S_girl 06-01-2012 10:48 PM

Aw! I want to participate! But a lady never reveals her age!

Anyway... I was 28 when I bought my Boxster 4 years ago. :)

I'm surprised by early 20s peeps here! I would've loved to own a Porsche back then. Wow! Back when I was your age, I owned a 95 Civic and a 96 integra and selling both probably would've gotten me a pretty messy SC and A LOT more in maintenance costs! My how times have changed!
