I’m Saks Afridi, and I wrote a book:

WHY A PORSCHE 911 IS THE ANSWER TO MOST OF YOUR PROBLEMS – A Deeply Impractical Guide to Life Improvement From Someone Who Doesn’t Even Own One.

It’s a self-help book about chasing your dreams and answering life’s big questions—through the lens of owning a Porsche 911. There’s just one small issue: I don’t actually own one.

Is this crowdfunder shameless? Yes.


Should you be donating to actual causes? Also yes.


Can you do both? Let’s find out.

I’ve spent decades obsessing over the 911—since I was 12, sitting in the passenger seat of one, convinced I had entered a spaceship. I’ve saved, I’ve schemed, I even got crypto-scammed and watched my Porsche fund disappear overnight. Every time I got close, life threw a wrench—and not the useful kind.

So now I’m trying something truly unhinged!: crowdfunding my way into a 911. Some dreams refuse to die, and I want to see if the internet is absurd enough to make this happen.

Will your donation solve world hunger? No.


Will it help a grown man complete an almost 40-year journey of automotive delusion? Absolutely.


Will it be hilarious if this actually works? 100%.

The 911 isn’t just a car for me—it’s the punctuation mark at the end of a lifelong pursuit. And with your help, it could happen.

Thank you, and may your questionable financial decisions bring you joy.
