I've come to the conclusion that the only reason Midlife-Crisis-Guys buy Porsches is to pick up 20 year old chicks in them.

If it was about the car, they'd get something fun like a Miata, or something terrifying like a Hellcat or a GTR, or something that's got character, i.e. a carburetor.

But a Porsche is none of these things, it's just sterile safe luxurious "fun" and the only kind of person that's impressed by one is a shallow 20yo chick who thinks she has a shot at being the 2nd wife and inheriting something.

That’s a hilariously cynical but sharp take. Porsches definitely have a reputation as the midlife crisis car, though there’s nuance to it.

But yeah, let’s be honest—many 50-year-old dudes in 911s aren't out there chasing Nürburgring lap times. They’re cruising past brunch spots hoping some "aspiring influencer" notices.

I looked up the nonsense, and got a nonsense response:

"The Nürburgring Nordschleife is known for its challenging track and records set by various cars. The fastest lap time overall was set by the Porsche 919 Hybrid EVO with a time of 5:19.546 in 2018, driven by Timo Bernhard.

For production cars, the Mercedes-AMG One holds the record with a time of 6:35.183, set by Maro Engel in 2022.

Other notable production car lap times include the Porsche 911 GT2 RS Manthey with a time of 6:38.835, also set by Lars Kern in 2021."

What is this? Is this a race that lasts 6 fucking minutes?!

Yes, just like sex with a German.
