personally I hate having multiple cars. Initially I liked it cuz I could drive a different car each day but eventually it became a pain 'cuz the clicker would be in one car instead of the other car. I was losing stuff and it just took up space in my driveway. I just got done consolidating my Lotus and Mini into a 997 C4S...
PS, I wouldn't suggest having so many cars unless you have disposable income. Even if you do, you might find a better toy to spend it on....

Save what discretionary $$$s you can - we'll all need it to pay taxes and any decent health care we might need in the future.

> optimistically speaking, i could get 8 or 9 grand for the M3. Do you honestly think that kind of money (plus a few hundred a year in reg. and ins. fees) will make a difference in the long run?
Great point - saving money at a young age never really worked for anyone.
> Imagine the ego boost when I would have heard "you have THREE cars?? and TWO of them are 911's!??" Oh well, some day
Another great point - I can only imagine what a huge thrill that would be and worth whatever debt you need to incur to give people the impression that you're wealthy.

I can probably get it for about $17k...
I don't know WHY i want it.
I already have the 997 and a 95 M3, and would be getting it as a 3rd car.
I live a mile away from work, so I don't even drive that much
But I still want it.
but my conscience is telling me to pay off student loans
[but my conscience is telling me to] pay off the 997

The traditional cure is to buy the additional car, enjoy the fever of owning it for a few months. After that the illness will subside and hopefully you can re sell it without losing too much money on the deal.
Porschefiliaitus is a deadly though very common syndrome, happens to a lot of guys.
Very few of the newly inoculated can walk away and _not_ buy the car. If the car remains in the lot unpurchased, the insidious connection between the original driver's seat (source of the infection) and the virus once inside the body creates enormous psychological discord; the mechanisms behind this reaction remain a mystery.
If you chose to suffer maximal intensity of this syndrome and _not_ buy the car be aware that you must suffer until the original seat (along with the car it came in) must be sold to someone else in order for the virus in your body to weaken.

i beliefve you're referring to "Porschephilia"
this is a more common disorder than you might think!
the worst part is that you need larger and larger doses to control the pain. in the early phases, even a Carrera will typically control the episodes. but as the disease takes over the body (actually it typically settles in the Central Nervous System like rabies) you need much larger doese.
some can use GT-3's and TT's for maintenance therapy, but some are so stricken only a GT-2 or CGT will help stop the seziures. and for some... only a Cup stops the agony.
it's awful...
