I think you need a new batch of friends who support you. A Porsche is a symbol of achievement, and people who are underachievers will always be envious. The car itself is something that has been refined over time to become what it is in the world, there is no reason you can not become that as well. Once you've reached your goal why not treat yourself to a "true" Porsche.
The "true" Porsche I refer to is a 911 or 356, all others are VW's or Audi's.

People probably do this because you are 16, and they are making an assumption that because of that you have not considered everything that could be involved in owning a car that can cost as much as some Porsches do. Of course, chances are, that many of the people rolling their eyes also don't really know, and that when they tell you it can't be done, it's as much that they are telling themselves it can't be done because they weren't able to.
Owning a Porsche is a great experience, and they are fun cars. Knowing what you want and working towards it is (I think) a good thing. It is worth keeping in mind that a Porsche (or similar high end car) can have some expenses that go beyond the initial cost, and that it can often be best suited as a second car. But there is a large price range when you consider used models - most of which have been very well cared for!
So when someone tells you that "it can't be done," for the Porsche or anything else... it's worth listening just so you can understand what obstacles they think will keep you from getting there, because that is useful knowledge! But don't start to think because it was something they could not overcome that it would be something you can't!

Bought my first Porsche 911 when I was 15. Of course it was not brand new, but it was a classic, which you will find you get more respect for. I am now almost 22, own my own web site business, part time emt, and going to school to be a Dr...oh and am on my 12th 911/930 Porsche : ). Watch ebay, start looking in farmers fields, and dont buy a nice new one. Start with a classic, learn to respect it and learn why you know the name porsche today..then move onto a new one. Get all that down and next time someone rolls their eyes...shut them up with the facts : ). Most people are lazy, if they are going to be immature and roll their eyes, its worth letting them know that you earned it, and your not a spoiled rich kid. I am still young and drive a 1 of 1 Euro 911 Porsche..I still get those looks...but so what...All they get to see is the *** end of a 911 as I pass them by, cause I used my brain and worked my *** off for it : ). Good luck, let me know if you need anything,

Yes you can. You can get whatever you want. You are young now and idealistic still. Reality has a way of catching up to you as you get older. Other things take priority in your life. Like buying a house, and insurance bills, utility bills, clothes.
things like this get in the way of your dreams. I've always wanted a shelby cobra, but now that I could afford it, I don't want to put the money out to buy it, but instead I want to save it in case of emergencies or some other thing that would be more important than putting out a lot of money for a car that someone could steal, or run into.
If your dreams are strong enough, and you study hard enough in school, then one day you may reach your dream if it still means enough to you.
People roll their eyes, because they know how hard it is to put down that much money on a car.
Good luck to you and I hope you get the Porsche one day, they are good cars. enjoy.

If you focus on obtaining a Porsche instead of obtaining acceptance into a prestigious school, it won't be long before you fall back down to earth and find yourself rolling in your Dad's Hyundai, reminiscing about your earlier years of naivety and wonder.

People are dream crushers. But remember to keep focused on important things too like school and college and family and those close to you. Material things come and go. But some things will always be there in our hearts and minds. Good luck to you.

i think its good that you have goals set to accomplish,wanting certain things in life is good,this give you something to work towards having,in today's world people will crush your dreams because at one time or another ,those might have been their dreams,and they couldn't accomplish them,if you set your mind to it you can have anything you want to have in life,don't let nothing get in your way,your young and have the whole world ahead of you,no one or nothing can stop you from having what you want as long as you decide the right things in life,right decisions are what you need to make,your on the right track now,stay there,and you,ll do ok,all of us had dreams some of us got to live them and some didn't,when you see a happy person,they got to live their dreams out,and still are ,keep that in mind,good luck with the future,and i meant to tell you i got a Porsche ,i have just about wore it out,its an 86 model,it wasn't a dream of mine but i got it and enjoyed it,good luck.
