good point there DAD!  j/k
you are right...i promised my wife and 3 kids (1 in college, 1 in H/S & 1 in 2nd grade) that I would get them a house w/ their own room before I could buy one of my dream car (Porsche and M/B) I'm 38 now...for the longest time, total of 10 years, I've driven a Mercury Villager Van...215k miles to be exact before i gave it to one of the college kid that i know. It was worth it...now everytime i go home and open the garage...there's always a smile on my face...good point there Yellow! I post my garage below

If I had bought a Boxster when I graduated high school, I'd have..... a 6 year old Boxster! Instead, I put my money into school (ok-- and alcohol!), and at 24, I have a Boxster (non-S) that I purchased used, which is parked in my brand-new 5, 3.5 bedroom house. And I'm far from house-poor or car-poor. I'm not trying to brag; just pointing out the difference that can be made by delaying your automotive dreams until you've accomplished a few other things financially.
Not to say buying a Boxster young is a bad idea in general. Had I not bought a Boxster before meeting my wife, I'd probably be driving an Acura TL or something right now. 
Oh, but to answer your original question, I'm a statistician for the financial services industry. |

Hey so do I and I also have a 99! I wonder if there is a relationship there between a Breitling and a 99 Boxster. Where are all those statisticians when you need them
