Is the 997 the best one yet? What one is nearest to your heart?

ETC....
I am sure that there are many others who have owned more Porsches than I and over a longer period of time. In my opinion, each new Porsche is technically better than the previous model. My 993 was light years ahead of the 911T. The 996 C4 was another leap forward over the 993, especially in the interior. The 997S is a leap beyond the 996 in its interior, in its handling and in its power. As to which one is closest to my heart, I would have to say the 997S.

Of all the cars I have owned the one that will always remain closest to my heart is my first sports car in 1970 - a 1968 Jaguar XKE 4.2L 2+2 with 4-speed manual transmission, 72-spoke chrome wire wheels, no A/C. It was 18 months old when I bought it from a Jaguar dealer for $3,400. Its original price when new was $6,600. Talk about dereciation! A bear to keep tuned, but fun to drive. It was my daily driver, except for icy or snowy days.

Other sports cars I have owned include a 1973 MGB (new) [I could only stand this car for 10 months], a 1973 Jaguar XKE V-12 2+2 (used), a 1976 Datsun 280Z (new), 1979 Alfa-Romeo 2000 Spider (used).

Other vehicles I have owned are a 1946 Oldsmobile 2-door sedan, a 1940 Ford 2-door sedan with flathead V-8, a 1954 Mercury 2-door coupe, a 1953 Ford 2-door sedan, 1959 Chevrolet 2-door sedan, 1964 Chevrolet 4-door sedan, a 1961 Mercedes 220SEb sedan with 4-speed column shift transmission, a 1972 Audi 100LS (new) [a pretty cheesy car], a 1974 Jaguar XJ6-L sedan (new), a 1975 Volvo 242 sedan, a 1976 Volvo 264 sedan (new), 1979 VW Rabbit Diesel (new), a 1988 Form Mustang convertible (new), a 1989 Acura Integra (new), a 1995 Ford Explorer (new), a 2000 VW Passat Wagon (new), a 2003 Mercedes E500 (new), a second 2003 Mercedes E500 (new) [long story here], a 2004 Lexus LS430 (new).

Also have owned a 1980 Yamaha 650 Vertical Twin M/C, a 1982 Suzuki GS650 Shaft Drive M/C and a 1984 BMW 650 Twin Shaft Drive M/C.
