I for one have enjoyed this thread. Thanks REKX for starting it. We all have our reasons for acquiring our P-cars, some for pleasure, some for performance, and some are deeply personal. Thanks to those willing to share those reasons!

Great thread. I like being the senior citizen who bought a 997.1c2s at age 65 instead of my 8th new Corvette. It looked and felt more like the car I wanted and seven months have proved I was right.

I've been a Porsche owner since I was 24 .... bought my uncle's 1968 911L in 1992 (he bought it in '72), then bought my 2010 C4S Cab at 45. It's amazing to see how much the 911 has maintained it's physical DNA over 43 years of evolution of these amazing cars, despite the significant difference between a 2.0l flat 6/130 HP engine in 1968 versus a 3.8l flat 6/385 HP engine in 2010 
I have a similar story to yours. I bought my first Porsche when I was 23/24 and it was a 1968 911L. It had everything I wanted, 3.0L SC motor, 911SC brakes and suspension. Sold it a few years later and have regretted it every day for the last 8 years.
However, I just bought a 997.1 C2S last year and absolutely love it. I call it a modern classic. It's not as raw as my old hot rodded 911, but it's raw enough for a newer car and so much fun as my daily.
I would trade it any day for an old SWB 911 though.
