Got a new vehicle. Picked up a 2009 Porsche Cayman.

Bit of a serious moment. Keep at it. Don't let anyone stop you from achieving anything. It's just a car and it's a material item but to be able to experience these things at a younger age is exciting. Keep up with school and don't have any kids before marriage. Wrap it up as it not a game. If you get married younger don't have kids right away. I turned 30 in March of this year. I got a girl but I don't have kids. Some people I know are already pushing minivans now from all the kids they have. They gotta spend bread on Honda Odysseys while I am able to use it on a sports car. If that's the life you choose then great for you. But if not do you.

It's crazy how people stay checking you out in a car like this though. I didn't notice it at first until my dad pointed it out. My dad was in the car while I was parking to attend my cousin's graduation. My dad is like did you see that young lady staring at you hard. LMAO. I have gotten random thumbs up from cats. Dudes breaking necks when I pass. I pulled up to a Nigerian baby shower(food was amazing) and dude sister went crazy over me when I hopped out the car LMAO.

So I finally got my money shot from my mountain drive last week. Shoutouts to Henry for taking this picture and making this possible.

Just because you're married don't mean mini vans and the like no more than being single with no kids means living your way of life. Just wanted to point that out but the rest good Instagram type encouragement speech my dude. I'm surprised y'all run into black people hyping up Porsches that aren't panameras. Ime that's been the case. Nobody shyts on them of course but its just the panameras get all the love from what I've experienced as far as black cats. Its way more two doors dudes cop before that even in the same price range but maybe its where y'all,live at too.

I wasn't trying to be on the GMB bandwagon LOL. I wasn't trying to say don't get married if you want these things. I was just trying to say don't have a bunch of kids before you are ready. Having a bunch of kids younger makes it difficult to do certain things if you're younger. I know people with 5 kids under 30. That is what I am talking about. I went to the extreme to try to make a point which is a logical fallacy. I joke with my girl that if we get married I want two kids max. Why? That way I can both fit of them into the back of my 911 when I upgrade LMAO.

As far as the Panamera goes, It's same reason a lot of us black cats want 7 series BMWs, S class benzes, and Hayabusa and ZX14R motorcycles(with extended swing arms black bike week I'm looking at you ) I think it is the perceived idea that it is the biggest at the baddest. I don't care what anyone says the Panamera, Cayenne, and Macan are there to make Porsche most of their money. The 911, Cayman, and Boxster has the truest heritage of the brand and the other cars get just part of the experience. I think a black person that is a enthusiast driver would appreciate a 2,3,4,5,6 M series BMW, or a C,E class AMG over a 7 or S model

That joints looks fun to drive
Hows the maintenance on these cars i know parts would be a grip, but are they pretty reliable for the most part

Basically. Spend $30K on a $100K car not realizing the maintenance finna be like $15K/yr Hopefully that car isn't a daily driver for OP

I know you weren't on the GMB its just that stereotype of married people that I'm like what sitcom these dudes watching. I'm more like you being as though I'm not married so I have no dog in the fight just don't like that that's all. I agree with the kids part that's why I didn't even speak on that cause it does make things harder more times than not. I feel you with the two kids too even though my parents seem to want a gang of grandkids lol.

As far as the car stuff I think you might be right but I also think that's not our lane in general. Dudes get mad at me but for the most part you see black cats in the big stuff. Most of us aren't modding little cars and talking about being an enthusiast. For those that do more power to them I'm just saying ime what it is. I say this as someone that loves driving cars but don't consider myself that. I do agree that an enthusiast would prefer them other cars over the bigger versions but its also what your into and your $$ situation IMO.
