Unfortunate though it is, I think you'll find that is the vast majority of 911 drivers. That's the benefit and downfall of the reliability of a Porsche, there isn't any other car that offers the same level of performance and reliability at those price ranges, therefore people who are risk averse buy them. Middle aged fat businessmen mainly. Ferrari's, Lotuses etc. are too hard to get into and not reliable enough.
I know a couple of people who drive 911's daily, and when you're just commuting or stuck in traffic, it behaves exactly the same as any other bland repmobile, which to them is an advantage.
That's why I prefer the 993/964 and before, they are much rawer cars.
