for some people cars are just a social status item...they park them in the garage and brag to their friends about them, or post photos on instagram/facebook, or they want to feel they own something special.

the people actually into cars and driving----DRIVE their cars a lot and buy them for their own inner enjoyment.

Very few Porsche buyers are actually in that 2nd category, unfortunately....it's become the ultimate car for posers, IMO.
The reason for this is simply because of how expensive they are. The average person/family can not afford these cars......maybe when your 55+ years old and are settled.

And those that can....well, like you said, many of them purchase as a status symbol.

When the Cayman first came out I was impressed with Porsche. They put a car out there that, with a little cash mgmt, a normal person/family could afford,.....well, that didn't last very long tho 🤣

Look, they are sweet and I'll continue to lust after one....but, will be a while before I can pull the trigger on one. Have 3 kids to put through college....I guess they are my Porsche for now!
