How old are you? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

After reading a previous thread about age, it seems the average 986 forum user is younger than I thought. I just wanted to set this poll up to crunch the numbers. Please participate in the poll.

By the way this poll may be weighted unfair because the younger generations are more pron to the internet,so in reality there are more well aged Boxster owners in real life.

Hi to all! I'm 27 right now and got my Boxster 3 weeks after my 27th b-day. It's a 1997 with 35k miles on it. It's been 6 months now and so far, its has been trouble free. I joined this forum (along with other Boxster forums) to gain knowledge of the car we love to drive and praise it's faults...and also learn DIY stuff since my car is way out of warranty and no extended warranty company would provide one. I regret to say that I'm not going to pay $200 for an oil change. Not to be labeled as cheapeskate but I just bought a house earlier this year (before I turned 27). BTW, I'm single.

I guess the mid-life crisis is still in tact. 30-45 range seems to be higest so far. :dance:

Mid-life? God.. I hope I make it further than 66. *shrugs* who knows, though. Could get hit on the head with a coconut tomorrow.

Brucelee or others -
Wonder if these numbers are typical of Boxster sales overall? It's a decent sample size - I would think it would match fairly well.

"Mid-life crisis? No! Life long obsession!" I read that in one of the forums sometime ago and it's a great response. In fact, for many it is true.

As I see it, no matter how old or young we are, when we climb behind the wheel of a Porsche, we're all the same age.

It's always called a mid life crisis.. reality is, you're usually in your early 30's before you can begin to actually have enough disposable income to purchase toys like porsches. Not like you wouldn't have had them earlier, you just weren't in a state in life at that time to afford it.
