You've pretty much described most new Porsche owners for the last ~20 years. I sold them new in '86, and there were plenty of dikfores buying them then. I suppose it's gotten even worse.
When I see someone driving one of those new 997s, all I can usually think is "gay guy going for a pedicure". If he's driving fast, I figure he's late for the appointment. Oddly enough, the only new Porsches I like are turbo Cayennes. I have a few friends w/ them, they are badass. Ridiculous, but no more so than other $100k sedans. YMMV, as they say.
