52. Bought my first Porsche in 1971. A 356C bought totally on the spur of the moment. Traded a great '68 Cougar XR-7 for it. It was followed by a '68 911, and then a new '73 914 2.0.

OK, I admit it I'm 47!!!
Got my first p-car at ripe old age of 19, too expensive to keep up so I went with good old american iron, had a plethora of corvettes, camaros, then graduated to '69 jaguar xke (which was more expensive than p-car). Finally came to my senses about 8 years ago - purchased '75 911S - beautiful car, but, tough to keep it running. Purchased current '77 911S two years ago, just finishing it, and truly enjoying p-car ownership again. As far as all the veterans out there, thank you. I have two sons, one in the army in Germany (who just blessed me with my first grandchild, a boy) - the other in the Marines in Hawaii who just returned from Afghanistan.

This has got to be the longest post! I'm 25, 4 years younger than my car, gotta love that

I wouldn't have it any other day...at least not till I get a newer 911, oh yeah I'd have to win the sweepstakes first. I'll save you all the pain of seeing my mug though. Drive on...

I'll be 55 this August. Wanted a Porsche since I was stationed Germany in '67, bought my first Porsche (a 951) the spring of '98, it burnt in a car fire (damn those old fuel lines) in July of 2001, bought my present car ( a '78 SC) in August of 2001. All my experience before 1998 was with American iron but I'm trying to learn Porsche fast.

Cordially,

I am joining the ranks of 40 something this November. My goal was to get my first Porsche before I turned 25, then it was 30, 35, and finally 40. Mission accomplished! My dream car, my first Porsche, my 911, my engineering marvel, is now considered a 'classic'. I can only wonder what it would have been like to drive this car off the dealership lot.
