4 door, Sedan, AUTO 8SPD, 4.6L V8, Stock# 54530.

I will always own a big honking SUV but my next one will be a gas guzzling hybrid. Escalade ESV, Yukon or whatever big honking SUV that gets 20mpg on a good day in a few years.
I will own an American muscle car at some point--I like old Corvettes.

I must be getting old, because when my wife was car shopping, we took out an 06 SL500, and that felt pretty good to me. (She bought a CLK500 instead.)
I was flirting with an F355 a few months ago; hanging out in that forum on ferrarichat was enough to cure me of that infatuation. Tale after tale of "I heard a whining noise" or a "drain plug full of shavings" and the $15,000 repair bills that followed. Scared me straight. Not because I couldn't afford a $15k repair but because it's kinda ridiculous to be pouring $15k into a $60k car every few years. They talk about "normal" issues like cracked manifolds, bad cats, even engine fires caused by a fuel line designed to be right next to a sharp hose clamp like it's all part of the Ferrari experience.
Yikes.
We really have it easy in a 993, comparatively.

If the money had to be the same or similar my list in preference:
965
72 or 73 long hood
Cayman
But in reality, I feel like I've got my dream car all things considered.

No doubt they are super reliable cars with all the necessary daily commuting goodies. But there's something about the interior layout that's certainly different than most makes(?) Or maybe just because I'm unfamiliar with it.....
