What % of your income goes to your Porsche?

Greetings to all,
I'm a newbie here, just wondering a few things...

What percentage of your income goes into your Porsche payments? Please include both "excluding maintenance costs" and including.
How much is your insurance?
How much will you have spent after selling or trading in your Porsche in the end?

So to sum it all up, I'd like to know how much of your life you put in to your Porsche.

Break it down for me, gimme some figures and percentages please! I'm not asking how much you make, but if you wanna say so, feel free.

Gnosis,

I believe the spirit of your question was to understand the kind of income that a person needs to make to own a Porsche. I think it's safe to say a lot. But no matter how you come to drive a Porsche it's not about the money but about the feeling you get from the "experience". You can pick up a host of different cars that have a higher “bling” factor but from an everyday super car driver, a Porsche is second to none

If you want to "experience" the excitement, I suggest you drop by one of the many tuner shops that sponsor this board and you'll find lots of folks that will be happy to give you, a “hold on to your ****“ ride! We all live for that kind of thing! Making a Porsche virgin smile from ear to ear as they feel the car accelerate, corner and eventually stop on a dime is priceless!

Good luck and maybe we'll see you in LA!
