Here's the thing: that is what some people think of middle-aged Porsche owners. But "that guy" loves Porsches and likely has for a while, so he doesn't care what they think. Your friend is right - he's not "that guy."

Everyone wants to be 'that' guy. :D

Rats! Beat me to it!

Around 45 I bought my 944, I was "that guy" (but had my own house, a dumpy shack in the hood but it was mine)... did I care? Not a lot, had a heck of a lot of fun with that car.

I now drive a Miata... I really don't care what people think of what I drive!

No one has mentioned a Corvette?
I love Corvette's... I told my wife that when we were shopping for a "fun car" for me... she said "Corvette? You don't want to be that guy."
I kid you not!

Truck, then apartment/condo, then an older 911 :)

He should get an MGA or a TR3 and date hot chicks who get him.

I think he is beyond help A camry might be the ideal car for him.

I was originally going to say Lexus... Yeah if he doesn't want to be 'that guy' then Camry it is. It doesn't get more generic and bland and boring than that.

not to be mean.......he just joined the mullet club dudes with no life.
