Is a porsche a car for a "younger" kid?

I will add, however, that my driving skills in my college years weren't anywhere near what I thought they were. Experience has taught me that there is no substitute for experience.
I can't stress how important it is that you force yourself to complete at least a couple performance driving courses immediately after your purchase. Maybe even one before you buy the Turbo, then a couple afterwards. An added benefit will be that you can express your excitement for your newly attained horsepower in a controlled environment.
Happy shopping and have fun!

I guess I'll be like a broken record. If you can afford it, and don't mind paying for it then go for it. However you can do so much more with the money that you plan on paying for a toy like that. Personally I hate MFing car payments, and I think the money will be more valueable in your pocket than someone elses. If life is better to you in the future after you establish yourself, then such a toy will be better appreciated.

I'm a newb to the site (this is my first post) and just got my first Porsche (first sports car for that matter) last month. It's a 996TT X50 and it's a lot of car. I looked initially at a C4S but after seeing this car, there was little reason to get anything else. My advice, for what it's worth, follow your gut. That being said, the 996TT X50 is an awesome car but draws more attention than I expected so make sure you can drive it properly. I'm planning on more performance driving school in the spring.
