I was in Perth (Australia) a couple of weeks back and joined a Meetup hike there. Obviously, I had no way of getting to the hike given the lack of public transport to rural areas in WA, so I asked online if anyone could give me a lift. One kind fellow offered - a middle-aged maths professor from the local university.
He turned up in a brand new porsche. Turns out, this was his very first car - previously he'd been travelling by bus and bicycle but illness meant he needed a car a few weeks back. So, he went for a porsche.
And why not? The guy was delightful - completely anti-stereotypical of a sports car driver. And we had the hood down for a while too
Moral of the story: Not all sports car drivers are $ankers.
