Default Turbo Excuses

I'm feeling kind of snarky today, so I thought I'd start a mildly obnoxious thread. Please add your own experiences and ideas!

"Reasons I Didn't Get A Turbo" (And Translation)

#1 "I wanted a more balanced car" = I couldn't afford a Turbo

#2 "The looks are too over the top" = I couldn't afford a Turbo

#3 "Too much maintenance" = I couldn't afford a Turbo

#4 "They're for sexually inadequate guys" = I couldn't afford a Turbo

#5 "I hate turbo lag" = I couldn't afford a Turbo

911/Q thats funny. I wrastled with this delimma in my search.
The only reason that I almost did not get one was because I could
not afford it. Finally after much fiscal searching and real estate gains
I picked up about 10% in my budget,which was the difference between
a 15K mile nice C4S and what I really wanted a TT (albiet 30K miles)
