I was just testing you guys to see how loyal you really were. Just kidding. We have a two car garage and I'm of the mind-set that I'm going to own one car and drive the hell out it. I've decided to keep the P car and wait to see what happens. No need to make a rash decision. You guys are right, Porsches are amazing and I'm not giving mine up without a fight. I love my car. Thanks for talking me down.

Yeah, it was fast, but it didn't do it for me, so I cut my losses and searched for the perfect (for me) P-car.
Boy, does your story sound familiar. I just traded an '06 BMW M5 with 650 miles on it for the same reasons. It just didn't feel right. Sorta felt like half driver/half passenger when using it.

Traded it in on an '02 996TT. Now *thats* what I am talking about!
I feel "connected" with it even when just sitting in the driveway with the engine off.

Exactly!! Never looked back once I got the C4S - even though it's not my everyday car, I look forward to driving it, cleaning it, or just staring at it. Never felt that way about the S4 - there was just a disconnect that needed a Porsche fix!
