The worst part is, once you have one you think about buying a second Porsche. For some reason, I've been wondering if it would be fun to have an older Cayman S to drive back and forth to work... maybe set up more for some DEs with a nice exhaust and some mods.

There are a few Caymans on eBay for about 25Kish with low miles. I think they would be a whole lot better than the new scion/subie car.

Had a drive in a 458 Italia spyder when I visited Maranello last month. Niiiiice! Being that bit wider than the 997 demands a bit more respect. But when you give it WOT, sorry, the p car just can't compare.....

Now back to reality

Keep the 4runner n the Carrera. That fulfills most/all requirements. My 4runner is 20 yrs old and its the reason i can own a Carrera n still go scuba diving, hunting, n park anywhere at the airport.

I made the mistake in 1974 at the age of 19 when I drove my first Porsche. I wound up buying it.

It's way to late for me. I'm on my seventh 911 in five years.

Irreplaceable for me!! Loved the 911 since the 70s (after my affairs with the English & Italian cars had ended).

I never imagined I'd get any closer than my 87' 944 but good fortune and hard work stepped in and low and behold, starting in 1999 4 911s. I can't put into words how this car has enriched and brightened my life .....but it most definitely has!!

I had the posters of the 959 and the Countach among others as a kid. Always liked them.

Glorified Volkswagons, don't see what people see in them!
