How Long have You Had Your Porsche
Coming up on my 5th year of Porsche ownership has caused me wonder how long most people keep their Porsches, or, if most tend to buy and sell repeatedly; any comments?

I go through toys quickly. I've moved on to Ducati.
I have thought about picking up a 84-89 Carrera.
