Go to a Porsche club track day at NOLA. There is a pretty decent amount - especially considering how few Porsches you see on the road compared to any other brand. Then hold a track day for any other specific car and see how few show up.
My dream car is actually a 911 Turbo, I just couldn't afford the turbo.

And for anyone that doubts that a Panamera is a true Porsche, look at the performance stats for a Panamera Turbo - it will hang with most supercars (which ain't bad for a sedan). For that matter, look at the stats on a Macan Turbo. It will hang with most muscle cars.

Props to you. Seriously.

I'm 45, and just like you, I lusted after the 911 as a kid. Even had a coffee table book about Porsche sometime in the early 1980's. That was all we had back then, as there was no internet to browse for things (ad nauseam) like now.

Always thought the 930 was the bad arse big brother to the 911. Really liked the 928, since it had a V8.

Then came the Slope Nose and later the 959. But you probably know the history better than me.

Enjoy the shite out of that car.

No Porsche for me anytime soon, but my friend just got a Macaan Turbo. O. M. G.

You're arguing from a purist's perspective. I get that. I'm talking about the ones you see on the road with the soccer moms driving or the 40 year old dentist who has the disposable income.
