50 here and going on 21. 5-914's and 6-911's later I still love these cars. Have a 97 986, got it cheap, as an everyday driver and an 82sc as the fun car.

I was 18 when the first 911 prototype was built, 21 when I first clapped eyes on one in person...20 years later I became an owner for the first time; plan to own at least one for the rest of my days here...

I'll be 42 in two weeks. I started out at 17 with a 914; got a 72 911 T at 19; bought another 914 at 20; then got a 67 912 at age 30. I now have a 78 SC Targa. I love these cars.

You know - - - - I've been told that after you reach age 60, and the doctor asks you for a stool specimen, a urine specimen and a sperm specimen, all you have to do is give him a pair of your dirty underwear!

Chuck - tuning 60 shortly.

50 here as well but driven them for 30 years so the age factor is a moot point! My body may be getting older but my mind does not care!

I'll be 43 next month and bought my first Porsche (85 930) late last year. If I would have saved the money I spent on cars over the years trying to make them handle like a Porsche ON an actual Porsche I would have been thousands of dollars ahead! And I would have checked the 20-29 box!

I'm 36 & the hubby is 34 (does that make me a craddle robber?? )

Anyway...Tim always said...we'll get you your porsche before you're 30. Well...30 came & went and he kept buying me a lot of little ones (the favorite being the remote control one.. ). So being 34 when I got my first porsche still sounds pretty good to me!!

45 and if I'd had this car when I was twenty-six (that was my age when it was assembled), I wouldn't be here to chat with you guys.

41 years old and on my third 911. I bought a 72 911T when I was 19. Kept it for 2 years and bought a 74 911. Got married and sold the 911. Bought the SC when I turned 40. 18 years without a 911 is too long.
