Is trying to obtain a Porsche 996 Turbo a shallow goal?

Are you asking your question of car ownership on those forums also???
If so how do us Porsche Turbo owners compare with their comments...LOL..

How is this thread still alive? You don't need to ask people on the internet what you can buy. Ask your Mom, wife, or your bank!!

No it is not a shallow goal. A lot of Porsche owners have saved and saved to finally get one.

"fancy watches, boats, mansions, large houses, or anything that goes with owning a 911" none of these "goes with" owning a Porsche, what goes with owning a Porsche is the love for the history and the car. I know pleanty of Porsche owners who are average people who worked hard to get one.

Do you hold more or less respect for these people who are ''average'', as you have stated, after they have bought their Porsche (instead of saving that money or investing it, or getting a cheaper vehicle)?

Man, it is all up to you and your priorities. What is it worth to you? Nobody here knows your priorities and personal principles. Anyone with financial priorities will say,"Don't go in debt when buying a car."

Others will say,"Purchase a car after you have ~6 months of income."

Others might say,"Damn the economy! You only live once. Get the Porsche now, if you run into financial difficulties, you can start your own recovery plan by selling the car. Enjoy it while you can."

I can't help it - it's like a caged animal with a sign reading "don't feed the animals" -... someone (me) is inevitably going to feed it, regardless.

Chalk it up as entertainment.

I don't respect people based on what material things they have or how much money they have. And you can't assume because someone has a Porsche they don't have savings, 401K, or investments.
On fact remove the word "Porsche" and put in Mustang, Challanger, Corvette, Expidition.......see what I'm saying?

Really,,, I don't believe that anyone that is a true Porsche addict really cares about how they got or how others got their car..
MAYBE the snobby possers, show offs or a## holes might look at it that way..

Just get the 911. Maybe take out several student loans and use the money for the car. I will be well worth it. The volume of ***** that will be thrown at you is unreal.
