Welcome to the age of Viagara. Old people are living longer and healthier lives than ever. The guys you see are probably going through mid-life crises and trying to pick up on some biyatches! lol. Plus, the old dudes usually have more money accumulated throughout their lives (i.e. established careers, etc) to afford a porsche 911. I agree: I have seen many old farts strolling around in 911′s.
Porsches are expensive. Older guys with a love for the auto can afford it and know their limitations. Young guys don’t know any better. Usually their daddy bought it and then they wreck it.
I am one of those old farts that own one of those rarely seen cars. Although, mine is not a Porsche. (Pronounced: “Porsha”) or to some “Porsh”.
It is obvious by the question that this person is not exposed to drivers who know how to handle cars of this marque and others of a similar status.
I am a 5 time owner of Alfa Romeo’s.( Pronounced “Alfa Romao”).
There are many cars on the road that have various cosmetic damages to them but how many Porsche’s do you see with damage.
If you do see one it is probably driven by a young kid that shouldn’t own one. Porsche owners are “together people”.
many people that buy them buy them for status icons.
That being said, many people also use them on the track (like me), and dont have too much use for driving fast, especially when theres people around, on the street. That being said, its not like im a grandma in my cars either.
yeah i know what ur saying what happened to the american dream with a young tall guy in a suit coming out of a porsche with a nice trophy girlfriend driving a nice fast stylish porsche? now u have old guys with nice cars some still with nice wives cause of the car real freaky u dotn see porsche commercials with old ppl in it u see young men and women in there like sports cars were meant to be driven thats y i made my dad buy me a porsche boxster for my 16 birthday is used but yes i got treated liek gold by staff and peers and i still do cause i got it 2 months ago i juss wanted to be part of that american image even thopguh im afghan.
Most old people all have nice cars because after they retire and find out what money they have left over studies show they choose to spend it on a nice car, they drive slow because they are afraid of crashing it, or they cant see well or something
Older fellows usually have more cash to buy them. Older fellows tend to observe the speed limit more than younger dudes.
Albeit any Porsche, as well as any other car, needs to have the ‘soot blown out of it’. But older, wiser gentlemen know when and where to do that.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
Because all the young guys are working FOR HIM, and are driving Honda’s because they got big student loans.

Because it takes you till you get old to afford one. Then, you are too old to enjoy / handle it.

Because old people can not drive they are retired and have some money

because they are the millionaires
u have to earn for life to buy it
because he wants to show that no matter how slow he goes, he still owns your life (or at least his car does)
