I saw the title and was expecting a Buick or a Volvo.

I'd love it even more if it were RWD, but sure, great touring car, probably not "old" old. Congrats on the purchase!

Ha, old dudes drive those is all I see around here that or the 40 something middle eastern guys. I don't remember seeing too many Turbo S around.
I revved it up a bit today inside the garage so I can hear the exhaust. I was too excited when I brought the car home so actually hear anything. Its not too quite once it goes above 35-4000 rpm and I am fine with it. It has a bit of a whine to it instead of the throaty sound like my old 930. Nothing beats the old air cool exhaust sound. |

I'm very dissapointed. I was expecting a Camry or Lexus ES.

Old man car? No. Midlife crisis car? Maybe.
Tried to convince my wife to let me buy a similar one in a silver-grey color. By the time she agreed, it was gone. It was really to replace her car...and she would never have driven it...so I decided to buy her a Lexus instead (as she likes those better). She will not drive that either and insisted on keeping her 2001 Lexus. She only drives about 10-15 miles a month anyways. Turns out I like the new Lexus RC350 for the short trips we take...so I guess it worked out ok.

I had a black '88 911, and black and red miatas, no problems. My silver boxster is "not seen" more often than the others.

Youngest old man car I've ever seen. Looks like a lot of fun!
