Guilty as charged on all counts, including Dallas. I feel so cheap and cliche, but I'm happy. :)

Richard, "average" figures are a ficticious number because it can be skewed. For instance Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld both are Porsche owners which skew averages.

If Porsche used the 'median' figure that would represent the income of the highest number of purchases and would look like a bell curve analysis which IMHO is much more representative than the numerical average. And those figures may include the folks who own concours cars like the owner of the multi-million 917-30 and several of the cars in the Porsche Parade this year.

So go ahead and buy one!!! : :rolleyes:
