I'm confused. To those of us in the 'old man' catagory, a K-car is a mid 70s chrysler econobox platform. I don't think that is what you are talking about.

I was 34 and my car was 22 when I first got it.

I am 34 and have had mine since the age of 22. One of my friends is 20 and drives an 80 930. Another is around the same age and is doing a 73 RS project. So it varies. Trust me, there is youth with taste out there. Young guys are thrill seekes. So am I since I never grew up. And since the older the 911 is, the more thrills it provides, that's where the smart kids are headed. Generally, they don't care for the newer stuff. Mind you, these are affluent smart kids with taste. Definitely not average.

When I was 22, there were many reasons for buying my 911. But one of the main reasons was that I was sick and tired of buying cars to have them become boring or boring looking over time. Basically, I wanted something that I would buy once and never bother having to buy a car again. Basically, as a 22 year old, I looked at the 911 as the car that would end all future car purchases. Of course it helped that I was a 935 fanatic when I was a kid. My 911 has served that purpose well. I guess it was one of the few moments of wisdom I had at that drunken and stoned age.

I'm 34 and my car is 28.

djmcmath 06-17-2004 02:41 PM

I'm 26, and I'd get an older car if I could afford a second. An older 912, or even a 356? Oh, baby ...

Ray B 06-17-2004 02:41 PM

Jeez, you guys are pups- or it could be that I'm a late starter. Been an "ol' man" for 5 years now. What's inspiring though is that we have a fella in the Peachstate region who, in his 80s, still kicks a$$ at autocross. My hero. I think I'll go shave my ears now...

jjwood 06-17-2004 04:02 PM

OK...I'm 54, got my first "long hood" when I was 25ish and have had long hoods ever since. Does that count?

Fishcop 06-17-2004 04:06 PM

I'm 34 and my '69 is 35...

bigbrotherjohn 06-17-2004 04:13 PM

I'm 18 and own a '67 912. That counts don't it. Car is being restored in my garage. It's my first car and I wouldn't want anything else.......'cept maybe a 911.

widebody911 06-17-2004 04:49 PM

36 with a '77

Bought my first 911 (a '72) when I was 21 or 22

Morrie 06-17-2004 04:53 PM

I'm 34, 8 years older than she is.

724doorE 06-17-2004 05:04 PM

I bought the 72 when I was 18 and am 36 now, I guess I've had it for more than half its life.......

mjshira 06-17-2004 05:15 PM
