When they get tired of it and start selling in greater numbers and don't buy another old Porsche that's when you've got a real problem.
A lot of it is Millennials. You've got all these guys 35-45yo who just hit a sweet spot in their earning curve. I don't know how many references I've seen in the last few years to buying an SC from the year they were born. And in many instances over on RL I see guys who have a GT3 or Cayman in the garage who want an SC or Carrera for their first air cooled car. Frequently the same Millennial. I think a lot of the bump in IB pricing is directly tied to one large well funded demographic of men.
