Mad Fox, I know you've been looking for a second Porsche. You might want to give some thought to the 993 route. I had an '07 Boxster S on order, but I bagged it for a variety of reasons. Ended up getting the 993 C2S, after consultation with LTC (thanks Big Guy!) and others. In the end, I decided it was a more interesting car to me overall, the price point was right, and the depreciation curve will probably not be very steep if I decide to make a change in the upcoming years. Most importantly, the raw, visceral oldschool Porsche feel really appealed to me, and is a nice combo with the -- dare I say-- more polished (read: modern) Cayenne S.

Nice choice- wish I'd never sold my '95 993 coupe- had sport suspension and the good old supportive sport seats... oh well, there are several others I wish I still had but only so much garage space and $$$. I plan on getting a 993 again someday just to play with it!!
Enjoy it!!!
Enjoy it!!!

Rome,
That is a very cool ride!!
I am in search of a 993 C4S or C2S as well just been too busy to really get a mind set, many of them FS with under 20k on the clock just not locally.
There is something special about the air cooled Porsches as you mentioned and IMO the 993 was the best 911 shape yet though the older ones are just as beautiful.
I'll need to see what the true market is for some of these 993's considering the pricing is very wavy and hard to get a good idea what they are worth.
Anyway I'll send a PM to ltc for some guidance when time comes
Have fun and enjoy!
Don't forget to fix your sig!

We too have the 2 porsche stable- CS Titanium for the wife and 911 cab for me. I must say, as much as I like the cayenne, it's not a true porsche to me- I'm not being a 911 "snob"- it's just that while I love driving the cayenne, it's not a sports car or substitute for the 911 just because it has a porsche symbol. Maybe I need a C4 with winter tires to go with my C2- ha! A 993 C4S would be nice...anyone want an even trade on a '78 VW convertible beetle? 
I do love the combo of the truck with the 911/sportscar though...

P.S. Thanking me in public? In this forum? Not a good career move......
