It seems to me a good 80% of the 911 (everything from early cars to 996s) drivers I see are:

- 40-50 years old
- slightly overweight
- sporting a “sensible” haircut (with gray or graying hair)
- wearing a baseball cap with the logo of some company I don’t recognize
- wearing a polo shirt
- wearing khaki pants or very often khaki shorts, or blue Levis that are a little too tight.
- wearing “dress-casual” shoes or sandals
- wearing “big” sunglasses

Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Wear whatever makes you comfortable. It is kind of funny to see three or four 911s on the street and all the drivers are doing the same “Soccer Dad Chic” thing, though.

I don’t wear hats, and only wear shorts and sandals when I’m on vacation and it’s 90 degrees out (not very often). Slacks, collared shirt, and nice shoes if I’m driving to or from work, otherwise it’s baggy jeans or cargo pants, sneakers, and a (usually plain) t-shirt. Ray-bans (black, metal frames, lenses that aren’t too big) when it’s really sunny out.

Ferrari drivers are often the most casually dressed. Most of the time I see a Ferrari, it’s when I’m out of the office on a weekday (like going to a dentist appointment). 2:00pm on a Wednesday, Ferrari guy with a tank top, shorts, sandals, and a $20k Rolex, parked crooked across two spots at the 7-11, buying a Slurpee. It’s the “I’m rich, I don’t work, and I just don’t care” look. I actually kind of like it.

Again, as long as you’re comfortable, who cares?

I subscribe to the Keith Richards school of fashion. Mostly made from dead cows and combined with what was on the floor next to the bed in the morning. Don't own a Rolex, mostly don't wear a watch at all. Smoke two packs of cigs a day and say F#*K a lot and play in a blues / rock band. I'm 53, not stuck in any particular year, and been this way all my life. I grew up to be my own childrens worst nightmare, a dad with an attitude. Maybe I'm driving the wrong car. if someone thinks this is midlife crisis, well then it started at about 18.
