I'd have won the fucking car if this were The Price is Right.
There are many real exotics under $200k (Bentley Continental, the new small Astin Martin, a few year old Ferrari).
The 911 is to middle aged men what the BMW 330 is to kids who get their first bonus check. "Look at me!" They're nice rides, don't get me wrong. And they perform magnificently and run forever. And if you buy a standard 911 just to have a fun convertible, I guess thats sensible. But all these old men I see driving their turbos around the Philly burbs crack me up. I mean, really, why? Other than compensating for lack of something else, of course...
My prime gripe with the car is its utter lack of creativity. Its the generic staus symbol for the Viagra chomping, hair plug wearing professional man on the go. If you feel the need to exhibit your fat wallet that badly, do it with some originality.

There are plenty of people who buy cars for image. Fuck those people, they are losers.
By saying you wouldn't buy a Porsche because it doesn't have the right image you are just as much of a poseur. Like all the hipsters trying so desperately not to conform that they're all wearing the same straight-cut jeans, flip-flops and retro Izod shirts with the collars up.
