986 Haters

[Dr. Acula]

Locally, our PCA club has a very high proportion of Boxsters, including a lot of 986s. Maybe it's all the sunny weather year round here. Anyway, as a 987 owner, I've found our club very welcoming. Of course, there are a few narcissists in the club, but they're tolerable and can generally be avoided. My problem fitting in with the club has much more to do with age than model of car. I'm 45 but the club is VERY heavily weighted toward retirees. I always feel like a kid at the table.

The local 4WD Toyota club has been very welcoming too. It's a much smaller club, but it does have more of a family feel to it.

You shouldn't. Most of us feel 16 on the inside. Its just the bodies that are worn. :-)

Ha..!

My wife keeps telling me, "when are you going to grow up..? Your kids are catching up with you"

Oh, I like your cars Anker! Good choices all.

So, as a favor my wife and I picked up a friend of my mother-in-law a while back. We happened to be in my subtlety tricked out, mid 5 sec 0-60 2015 Explo Sport. We already knew that this woman cares more about status than breathing.

While seating herself, she remarked ‘what a great looking car, very nice, what kind is it?’ It’s a Ford, I cheerfully replied! She managed a kind of choking, dissapproving ‘oh’, made herself as invisible as possible to the outside world and didn’t say another word the entire trip. It was hilarious.

Haters gonna hate

There are lots of jerks out there, but there are a lot of great folks also (including many Porsche folks). Here’s to finding the good ones

Everybody in our PCA group are very open, friendly and helpful. We have 356's all the way to new 911's. With 914's, 968's, 944's, Panamera's and a guy with a '16 Macan and another guy with a new Cayenne. Plenty of Boxsters in the mix also.

Some people like to keep score. And if they don't remind you of the score periodically, they start to feel inadequate.
