Like you, I’m not the audience. A lot of men wear beige trousers though. The Venn diagram would be interesting.

I think you're spot on here.
There is much to love beyond the driving too, the chink of the door closing, the sound of the air-cooled six, the distinctly German interior, it's just that none of it, and I mean NONE of it does anything for me.
I'm 53, so you'd think the 50's/60's cars do it for me, but they don't. I was coming of age in the 80's, and it was the zippy little Japanese cars that did it for me, and still do. The RX-7, MR-2, Starion, 280Z, etc, that's what we could afford (used), and they just feel right to me, and the 911 feels all wrong.
