Full time college student, I'm in my second year at the University of Akron for Photography. I teach snowboarding at Boston Mills/Brandywine in the winter and hopefully can use that to get out west after I finish school...and I'll be making room for a 924 and a Toyota 4x4 wherever I'm at .

26 years old, after high-school graduation in 1997 I went to study business, quit after 3 years (yes, dumb move), started working in a cable TV provider company as a technician. After that moved to a company that sells car parts, worked as a sales manager.
2 years ago quit and went to university again, journalism this time. Right now I've done 50 credits of the mandatory 120 and working at a full time car journalist (plus some editors job).
I have a wife (well, almost ) and no kids so far.
First Porsche was (obviously) 924, '79 ROW NA, bought right after high-school graduation in June 1997.

EDIT: I have been in circuit racing for 3 seasons (2000-2002), took part in 924 Cup (local Porsche Clubs event series). Best achievement was 2nd overall in 2000.

Im 16...Still in High School, a Junior. I worked over the summer at our local college as an apprentice electrician, in order to buy my first Porsche/first car. Right when I thought I'd never be able to buy one this year, a friend of mine sold me his 79 924 for $200. He was really fed up with it, so he just sold it off to me. I kinda saved my car from the scrapyard. Well, that's all. I plan to be some sort of engineer, probably a mechanical engineer.

I'm now 24 and living on a resort ranch near Douglas Wyoming, I'm the solo employee/manager/caretaker. Before this job I worked as a ranch-hand, and about two dozen other worthless jobs since I was 15. I have about half of my BS in Bio at Metro State in Denver, and will be going back to finish it when my current employment ends.
I will also in the near future be opening a car related business in Denver.
