I mean, you really shouldn't take offense to it as I'm sure there are people who will say Camaro drivers think their crap doesn't stink or charger drivers or Silverado or RAM drivers, etc.

lol. OH make no mistake.. I didn't take offense at all. In fact I thought it was funny.
Yes, everything in life has stereotypes and rightly so due to a few / some / a lot / etc.
However, I'm about as blue collar as it gets and I've owned 5 Porsches over the years. I'm not some rich guy like what you're describing. I work TONS of OT to afford my toys. With what I do for a living, I'm VERY well aware of stereotypes and people's reactions to them lol
I will say this though. I've gotten to know a LOT of Porsche people, and there are many that fit the description you gave, however I don't think it's anywhere near 90%. Tons a great down to either people. One of my best friends had a Porsche when we met (that was the reason we met in fact) but he also had / has a 2015 Z28 and and 2004 Honda S2K and a Chevy Cruze.
Anyway...No harm no foul...Just remember though..The more we feed the "Stereotype" monsters, the worse this country becomes (I'm talking far bigger than a car owner here). Stereotyping is nothing short of and just as bad as straight up Racism IMO. We have to judge EACH and EVERY person on How THEY act and nothing else. What they drive can have ZERO to do with how they are as a person. This I can guarantee !!!! You'd never think I owned a Porsche. I'm just a guy finally getting a chance to realize some child hood dream cars of mine. I'm 50 BTW... No spring chicken here.
