39. Met one of my life goals of owning a p-car before 40 just barely (8 months before the deadline). Actually, birthdays have lost their meaning since I was 24; I'm still feeling the same. Just the people that I see around me are getting younger.

I'm 32. Suppose I should work on getting a mug & car shot for this BBS so people can see for themselves the source of such wisdom

So! What year did you buy your first P-car???

Chuck
Chuck, Dec 7, 1941 was my 17th b'day so for the next three years I "vacationed" in the S. Pacific. My previous sportcars were a '52 MGTD and a '64 VW Karman Ghia until '66 when I bought the first '67 911S' in Denver, Colorado. You beat me out with your '65! Current ride is a choice dark blue '86 Targa wehich strives mightily to keep me young!

I was born on my parent's anniversary...I turn 21 next month. I think I still hold the title for youngest 911 owner?

Cars I will own:
Lamborghini Countach
Maserati Bora
Porsche 911

I think I'll be able to bat .333 at least...

I'm 63 but I try not to act like it. I guess no one beats Jorgeman. I claim the #2 spot.

For those of you old enough to have remembered when the earth stopped spinning for a little while 38 years ago, that was for me to get on. I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO GROW OLDER THAN ANYONE OF YOU GUYS DAMMIT!
Life's too short to grow old and the worst
part is that you're dead for a really, really long time.

Same goal as Harold, Own a porsche before 40. I will be 40 in 6 months. Haven't stopped grinning since I got my Targa.
