Opinion of Porsche Drivers

Porsches are good machines. I respect the people who appreciate them enough to pay that much money to have one.

I bought one out of business school with my signing bonus. It was too expensive for my liking. I got rid of it a year later.

If you buy it for the performance, FF.  If you buy it to increase your status, HP.

Had a 924 as my first car, though the thing did almost kill me in my first winter as a driver( something like 2700 pounds, RWD and no snow tires is not a good idea in the the winter.)

924? That's just a VW   (I kid, I like them)  A 924 would not be a good first car, especially for a boy.  That's why God made Civics and Corollas.  Low power and FWD.  One should ease into the joys of RWD, and only when ready.  Most people are never ready.

I did two St.Louis winters in an 82 RX7, a little lighter, a little less power, but the same problems.  I thought it was fun.  I did drive another 82 here in Omaha for a winter or two, but I had a Subaru Justy as a second car and it was my winter beater (except when it was broken).  Obviously it's good to have a proper snow car for the snow, because while it might be fun, it's also dangerous and sometimes just impossible in fun cars like 924s and RX7s.

All the cars I've owned have been RWD, lol

Lucky.  Marriage/fatherhood forced me into more practical cars, but now that I'm nearly done with that malarkey I'm getting sideways again

@dead0: I dunno about that, first car I ever drove was a RW, '81 Benz. Switching over to FW and losing the easy turning radius was the issue.
