Porsches are everywhere here, but 986s have dropped off the map. Only see a handful per year on the road, and about a 50/50 split of regular vs. S models.

In our case, I think they've all been driven into the ground because the 986 was very popular here in the warm weather. Least likely place for me to see any Porsche is on the highway. I figure it's because this city isn't large enough for the affluent to have to head for the hills yet. Go downtown and into the adjacent neighborhoods, and that's where they all are.

Overall, I think there are definitely less Porsches on the road, in general. I blame this on there being a larger pool of awesome cars to buy here now vs. 10-15 years ago, and less mystique around the badge than before they started making SUVs.
