Porsche Laughs

[71eh]

Wanted to share a little meme I made after seeing a stat on how much the average adult spends per year on their hobbies

Feel free to share anything else Porsche related that made you laugh/smile.

$965...per year...

$965...per year...

Was that figure possibly from mid-1971 just before the Dollar was taken off the Gold standard? Let's see...the buying power of $965.00 in 1971 dollars would take approximately $68,900 today. That would seem to be more in line for Porsche expenditures in 2024 for maintenance/upgrade/repair/restoration/fuel/insurance/etc.........

Tom, your meme has to be an old one! Lol

I should clarify this is in reference to the value of the US dollar to gold. The value of one US dollar was 0.0285714 of a troy ounce of gold in 1971 before we went off the gold standard. At the COMEX close earlier this month the value of one US dollar had plummeted to 0.0004074 of an ounce of gold. That was a decline of almost 98.6%. Hefty hit to our fiat currency from where it was back then.

Plywood is ridiculously expensive. Maybe the "find" is spot on. Lol.

I'm not having any luck finding something to fit Tom's Topic mandate. Maybe something will pop up. Lol.

Tons of old Porsche ads out there. (There are a few good things still on ye olde internets...)

Not sure they fit the intent of Tom's thread but what the heck, they made me smile.
