I"m 60 and bought my current car (1973 911) at age 59. This wasn't my first Porsche as I previously owned a 2002 996, a 1975 911S, 1972 911S, 1968 912 and a 1965 356C.
I went from 1979 to 2003 without owning a Porsche but, between 1975 and 1984 I drove cars for Porsche (picked up Porsche's in Ann Arbor, MI from the EPA) and drove them back to Calif) fortunately, I was able to keep most of those cars until my next trip)
I didn't like the 996 but I will say that it was fast, handled well, comfortable, had great A/C, shifted great and looked good but, it wasn't air cooled and just didn't have the sound and rugged driving experience that an early car delivers. I'll probably keep this car long enough to will it to one of my kids.
Bottom line, if it's what you want then don't let the lady friends or your aunt talk you out of the car. I don't think anyone is going to think you're "Leisure Suit Larry" if you drive a Porsche at age 40
