How young were you when you're baby came home!

Ok i offer yet another trivia/pissing contest up to the masses How young were you when you got your first P car I was the ripe old age of 32 when I got my 996 (6 months ago) Growing up in West Philly with no pot, **** or window it was my goal to have one by 35. The brother dun good for himself Regards!

got my 928 at 33, my silver 996 at 34, my black 996 now at 35... waz

waz its official you are my idol!

i was 23 when i got my 996 C4. i grew up on a farm with very little, then got out of there and went to the big city and got a job in computers making some good $$$!

Well, my wife got her Boxster at 22, does that count? We bought the C4S together at 25/24. And yes, we paid for them both by working (and taking a partial loan on the C4S) AFTER buying a condo and paying off school loans.

Got my 996 Cab at the age of 27 - about 8 months ago.

Bought the 911SC when I was 22. A few months ago when I bought the Boxster I was 24.

Got my first 996 at 23, still have it at 25

My 996 was my 33rd birthday present to myself. Had to wait and buy the house first so I had a garage for the Porsche :-) Bob

same with rpratt here, 33rd birthday present to myself. was'nt born with a silver spoon in my mouth either... Peter

got my baby in May of this year...at age 29...decided to replace the range rover with a smaller SUV (I can fit 2 golf bags, 2 mtn bikes and luggage for 2 - thats all the utility I need)..

My dream was a new Porsche before 30 and made it by one year. 1999 996 at 29, then a 2001 996 at 31. Now 33 and both 996's are gone and the 87 911 is my current daily. It has a 115K and is everything the 996 isn't. I absolutley love it and wonder why I skipped the 993 when I had the chance.

"new" 1983 944 turbo @ 22, "new" 1983 911 SC coupe @ 23, and "new" 2003 Targa @ 43. Wish I still had the 1983 SC!!!

Wow, I'm feeling old. I don't know why, but I waited until I was 35. But hey, chances are that they worked some bugs out of the 996 by 2003, right?

I was 20 when I drove my first P-car, a friend's '67 912. I bought my 1972 911T Targa when it was new and I was 22. The '65 356C came when I was 24, then a '63 356B when I was 35 (going backwards, I know, but the 356 was a ball to drive and cake to work on!) My wife picked the 2000 Boxter came when I was 51, and the 2002 C4S joined the Boxter in the garage when I was 53.

When I was 22 I sold my lame *** car and have never looked back since: Age 22: '79 Euro Spec Porsche 924 - I learned quickly the art of p-car maintenance ! Age 23: '84 944 Age 25: '86 944t Age 27: '97 Mazda Miata (I was tired of fixing the p-cars and wanted something fun and cheap - by the time I was done with it it was supercharged, lowered with koni coilovers, adjustable sways, etc. and was quite the auto-x weapon). Age 29: '97 BMW M3 - gotta say this car was bullet proof - I beat the **** out of it at auto-x and driver's ed events and put over 100k miles on it when I got rid of it.... a very bullet proof car. Age 32: '99 BMW M Roadster - a great car, unfortunately it's life was cut short from being parking in a building that caught on fire !!!!! Age 33: '99 996 C4 - this car blows all the previous cars away !!!! What fun !!! The earlier p-cars were fun and keeping them maintained helped me build my knowledge and skills and toolset so that I can do a fair bit on this current car with out buggering it up..... trev

23 for my first, 27 for my 2nd, 35 for my 3rd, now waiting to get my 4th... Charlie

All you guys are killing me...I had to wait till I was 44 to get my 996 baby.

I got my brand-new '84 944 at age 28, kept it for five years, then jumped ship to a Mitsu GSX. About 12 cars and 17 years later, I've acquired an '01 996 and feel like I'm back in the womb. There truly is nothing that feels like a Porsche. However, I still have my '01 Audi S4 which is just an astoundingly terrific all-around car. If I had to chose between the two (I don't) it would be a tough call.

Got my first 993 Iris Blue when I was 35. Flew down to Beverly Hillls Porsche and purchased the car. While driving on the Santa Monica Freeway I was cut off by Bruce Willis in his Range Rover. Got my 03 Seal Grey Turbo at age 41.

A Black '83 944 at 27 A Black '90 Carrera 4 Cab at 29 A Black '02 Carrera 4 Cab (european delivery) at 34 Placed an order for a custom made by Vintage 550 Spyder to be delivered in '04

I briefly owned a LHD 1977 911 turbo bodied coupe, when I was twenty one, to be honest it really was a heap! but it was all I could afford at the time, and had always wanted a 911, a few years later around the age of 24, I bought a 911 Targa , this was really my first Porsche, it was an immaculate 2.7 finished in red, had been updated to look like a 89 spec car. I kept that for a year, until the engine chains decided to give up, and facing a �4000 rebuild I managed to sell it at a slight loss. I realised that the owning a Porsche then was still something I could not really afford!. Anyway fast forwarding the BMW 328i Coupe and M3 Evo Convertible period I bought a 2 year old 993 C4 Coupe in 99, and now also have a 996 C4 Cab. Which I bought myself for my 30th birthday last September!! I am now looking for a RHD 356C !

15 3 years and 30k miles ago, I got my 944. The NA beast isnt excatly a rocket sled, but when your 15, learning to drive and your friends are ricing out civics and altimas (hmm, 8k on a honda or 8k on a porsche that will be more fun and.. uhh, teach me more about cars... that it, its for my education), its fun to pull up in a porsche and watch their jaws drop. Next up, convice pops that he needs a 930 to replace the 911S his brother wrecked back in the good ole days.

bought (not leased, bought) MYSELF a $62k 2003 Boxster S at 16, did the paperwork, took delivery 3 hours after getting my liscence.

nice moogle! thats one heck of a paper route! thanks for the great replies guys keep 'em comin'!

84 944 at 27 97 c2 coupe at 40 00 Boxster S at 43 02 C4s at 45 03 c3 cab at 46 - Wife says ENOUGH!...for now

Doh! Obviously it should read 03 c2 cab.

LOL... Terry: Did you custome order a 3 wheel drive Cab? Peter Liao

Just be carefull young ones, although I regret the fun I missed out on in not getting my 911 a few years sooner (than 44). Had I bought one in my 20s, as it turned out for me anyway, the lost opportunity cost would have been in the seven figure range.

25 for my first- a 914/6; then college, residency, etc... 15 years later, my first real Porsche '96 C4S, then '98 Cab, '01 Turbo, '03 Boxster, '04 Turbo Cayenne, '04 C4S Cab. I'm a big Porsche fan and it really is the ultimate car if you enjoy cars and driving. Fortunately, my wife likes cars too.

jeff 25 is right a little balance now can save you big in the future! ...but its so damn fun now! i wonder if the pure smile power i get now is going be worth the $$$ i'll not have in the future?!?! I keep telling myself that a little old c2 cab is consistent with my income level and a new 360 modena...now that would be excessive!

33 for me, however in my heart I owned one already @ age 20 or even younger The right time is when you can afford to buy the car, maintain it and fly it from and to work...
