14 when my folks bought a limited edition british racing green 1983 N/A. Fell in love when I was sixteen with the then new 1986 turbo. I'm now 33 and a doctor and own a 1987 951. I do all of my own wrenching. I live in Oklahoma City-home of Lindsey Racing and 944 Racing (Tulsa).

I was 24 when I got my 914 1.8l with rust. It took me two years before I realized I was being nickle and dimed to death by that pos. It took another six years before I bought a real Porsche, my 924S. The S has been a family member now for 18 months, so I guess you can do the math and see how old I am.

43 - three years ago I went shopping for a RX7 (the one that was last year they made them) and found I could get a 944 for less than half the price.

I got mine just after I turned 15. I'm 17 now. Spent several months getting it running after finding it behind a building riding my bike. I put 73 miles on it on a 1/10 of a mile driveway before I got my permit. I love my car with extreme passion...
