You're just jealous of my Rolex, losermitter.

Buying a Porsche just says, "I have a bunch of money I want to throw away on an over-priced sports car."

You can get much better performance, handling, style and comfort from cars priced well below a Porsche.

You're really just paying to have the name, which is fine. But, don't pretend that it's anything but paying for the name.

Breaking news, people who don't own expensive cars are jealous of those who do !

A Porche looks like a lot of fun, but this looks a lot more funner - and is more flashierer:

Benevolent Misanthrope: Rich guys see their wives as another possession they acquired, not a person.

Poor men also see their wives as something they've acquired. And it's mostly women's fault for being so crazy. If ya'll we logical marriage would be like business contract with sex. But no, ya'll want shoes and diamonds and quite frankly until you grow out of wanting them you don't deserve them. But I digress.

You HAVE seen the famous documentary about Ed O'Neil and Katee Segal called "Married With Children" right?

MrSteve007: A Porche looks like a lot of fun, but this looks a lot more funner - and is more flashierer:

And kind of poorly photographed. Yellow on red at sunset?

Anytime, anywhere is their motto, up with the shell and they're at it.

/also, is Fark misbehaving for anyone else? like refusing to connect for minutes at a time?
//"no, Pfom!!, just you"

/obligatory

Subby's right, ladies, and they're lousy in bed!

What you really want is a mature, underspoken, 46 y/o divorce' who drives a solid, American vehicle.



_{/would looooove an A8}

timujin: Isn't it possible that some men drive a Porsche not to "flaunt their flashy possessions" but rather because they like to have fun driving?

/still want a 944S

This.

I like driving cars, so I buy cars that are fun to drive. Cars that are fun to drive are usually sports cars.

/G37S Coupe
//Vroom!

caddisfly: In other news, guys who drive sports cars usually work really hard and don't necessarily want to support one or more people for the rest of their lives, let alone the kind of people that force them to go to a mall and pick out china patterns when the playoffs are on.

FTFY, and I'm stealing it.

/Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
//Douches drive Porsches, can I get an amen?

I'd actually say the "reasonably well to do divorcee or the midlife crisis man" are far more likely scenarios. Just like how most guys who ride harleys are usually lawyers and orthodontists in actuality.

///doesn't even own a car at the moment...

I wonder if the causality goes the other way - men who are not the marrying kind are more likely to be able to afford Porsches and other flashy possessions.

The Smails Kid: /Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
//Douches drive Porsches, can I get an amen?

Hammond drives Porsches and he's not a douche.

Clarkson drives a Merc, and he's the biggest douche...in the world.

/still love them both.

In fact, researchers found that women inferred from men's flashy spending that they were only interested in uncommitted sex.

You should stop feeling sorry for that spinster and the playboy; they know what they are getting into. I bet this the background music during their love making sessions. (new window)

oldebayer: What a married guy driving a Porsche might look like:

Never let the wife drive your porsche.

/wonder if that was a factory slant nose?
//either way, it is now

Huh, it's almost like Porsche doesn't have a HUGE history and a fairly wide model range.

If you're buying a Cayenne, you're right. Nothing about that purchase makes any damned sense. Definately a status thing.
996 yeah, it's a bit spendy. No more than a 'vette. I'm guessing it's a push.
993 hell, that's an investment. Many are under $30k, just over 10 years old and ALREADY appreciating
If you're a guy and buy a Boxster, you're just gay. You can, however, buy them in them used in the lower teens.
Cayman. Jury's still out. Hell of a design, quick as snot. Mid engined and hardtopped. Priced between the barby car and the 996.

But then there's all the older models.

Fun:

What if the woman only marries the guy for his money, and then divorces him after a bit? That's a sort of "marrying kind".

rohar: Fun:

You're a pretty awesome guy.

sports cars are for rich ugly guys to help get laid
rich kids to get laid
rich married dudes who cant get laid anymore because theyre married and scared of their wives so they get their thrills this way
car enthusiasts

Is it pronounced "douche" or "dou-sha"?


/not mine

I Like Bread: rohar: Fun:

shoulda said NOT MINE

/yeah, I was the marrying kind

The Googles say you are a retard. I'll just leave this here... dumbass.

"Porsche was awarded the 2006, 2009, and 2010 J.D. Power and Associates award for the highest-ranked nameplate in its Initial Quality Study (IQS) of automobile brands."

Check the Googles before you write something stupid. It's super easy... Like your mom!

You know who else was into Porches?

That wasn't a Porsche. Ferry was running a design house at the time and was not involved in production until 1946 when 356 chassis 001 rolled out of the shop. It still exists, I've seen it personally.

/Google, it's not just for mythbusters

Yeah my boss bought a 911 Carrera GTS, this was the same year he said that they didnt have enough money in the budget for even a shiatty raise, so all of us got nothing.

Oh this was the same year the owners took both their families to Hawaii, also the other co-owner had a Mercedes V12 something, never looked very close at the car since they pissed me off so bad.

rohar: /Google, it's not just for mythbusters

Wiki is a bit more reliable:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche#Relationship_with_Volkswagen

"The company has always had a close relationship with, initially, the Volkswagen (VW) marque, and later, the Volkswagen Group (which also owns AUDI AG), because the first Volkswagen Beetle was designed by Ferdinand Porsche."

Well, chow down my man, cuz you just got SERVED!

Except the car in the image is an NSU Type 32. The NSU Type 32 is no more a Porsche than the Golf, Scirocco and Passat were made by Italdesign.

Worse, it wasn't even made by VW.

Yet most of the active members of the Porsche club (those who actually get together and drive them, put them on the track, etc.) are middle aged married engineers.

Since Ferdinand Porsche designed that car for another company I would say its a lot closer than either of the others since that is one of his prototypes under consideration. And its clearly him in the picture showing hitler the car.

Ugh. The market doesn't like us lately. Saw the Screaming Yellow Zonker (with 993 power and brakes) fully prepped street car is listed at $20k.
