Cannot wrap it around my head why he's driving a base Carrera ... so much money and he chooses the "blended" in Porsche

Maybe he's just not really *that* into cars. Gotta a lot else going on to keep him busy. Probably just walked in to one of the Hollywood Porsche dealerships several year back, wrote a check for a car he perceived as a "nice ride" and never looked back.

Now if he spent all of his spare time on forums he would certainly know better.

The again.....maybe it's his gardener's......

may be he doesn't want to be bothered by people while he's going about day to day & blending in is what he wants.

He undoubtedly has a few great cars and the 996 is not a bad car. Some people get attached to their cars and don't keep upgrading to the next newer and better model.

When I was doing my initial research on Porsche I came across a photo of Ashley Tisdale. She's a young actress (22 or 23) on the Disney Channel and stars in those "High School Musical" movies all the kids are into these days. I noticed Ashley had a Boxster S and said to myself geez, if that little girl drives a Boxster S then I have to get a 911.
If you look at it that way you better step up your Game.. Rumor has it the olsen twins have a pair of 997 Gt2's...






























JK.. LOL

Maybe some people like the marque, like the way the car drives, but doesn't need to be seen in the newest. Friend of mine was a millionaire many times over, loved Porsches. Would buy one he liked, drive it until the wheels fell off, then buy another.

Mark admits to owning MB SL, Maybach 62, Brabus 550. No talk about the 911.

Haha! I knew you had to be j/k about that. There's no way either of them have enough strength in their "chicken legs" to hold down the clutch on a GT2.
