Needed, Sponsor, Car and Watch

Please people stop the excluding behavior and give this guy what he wants.
Make sure it's an S

Wanted Porsche 911S 997

wanted Porsche 997 911S
I am a 100% DAV told to find a hobby so I want to be a member of PCA.
I went to a couple autocross events in Hartford even though the sign said invitation only.
kind of excluding behavior.
I like R-Gruppe / Magnus Porsches, but the reliability of a
997 911S would probably be better.
I am looking for someone to sponsor me a car.
I guess I don't care about color or transmission, but I am not a cabrio or targa guy.
I like black, blue, silver, champagne, and stock except probably wheels.
I guess I would park it in the barn for winter besides that drive it and see how many miles she can carry. Like Magnus says get out and drive
I found a few cool Porsche places in CT like Sloan and Musante.
I also like watches like a blue Patek 5711 Nautilus
New Porsche friends would be cool.

I say we all take up a collection for such an articulate and compelling plea.

...not really....

Is this approach successful ?

If so why am I working today ?

Asking for the watch maybe over the top.

The Patek is worth more than the car...

All sorts of possibilities exist for abusing/punking this guy. Good thing I'm not the sort.

You left the best part of his post off! Down at the bottom it reads:

You mean like an offer to learn a skill, get a job, and buy your own car?

Just when you think you have humans figured out...


There was a guy we raced karts with several years ago who thought you needed a sponsor to race so he found one! It was really quite impressive. He was a novice shifter kart racer so running no where close to the lead but had sponsorship from a beer company. I don't recall which one but he had all the gear in the sponsor colors and brought several cases of beer to hand out at the races. Of course he could have been messing with us and just been a beer distributor in his day job but if so he covered it pretty well .
