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."

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!

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.
