re: Porsches were not meant to be four door cars.

I get so sick of the mid-life crisis comments. One older woman made a comment about guys buying Porsches to "make up for something else." So fricking stupid, and comments like that are generally made by people who can't afford one. The 911 still consistently wins supercar shootouts when it comes to handling. It is a driver's car, and the purest sports car made. Just look at the first 911s that were made. The car has stayed true to its roots and a 911 from any year is easily identifiable.
I have always driven high performance cars. In high school I had a 280ZX Turbo my junior year and a 300ZX Turbo my senior year. Aside from owning a truck a few years to tow my motorcycle trailer, I've always driven performance vehicles. A 911 was my dream car since I was a kid, and I finally had the money to spend in my 40s so I bought one. Not a midlife crisis. I did 5 track days in my first 3 months of owning the car. That being said, I'm 48 with a really bad back, it's not exactly comfortable for long drives, and my kid doesn't want us to take it anywhere more than 15 minutes away because the back seat is tiny and uncomfortable. So I kinda have my eye on a Panamera now. Ideally I'd keep it and get the wife a Macan or a Panamera, but she doesn't want either (a woman who doesn't like spending money - imagine that).
